You can request places as Pokestops. Though I wouldn't expect it done right away.

Signup for their older game Ingress and once you have an account you can check the games map on your internet browser and find a nearby place with stops. My area is completely dead but I found somewhere 20~ minutes away that has 12 stops & 3 gyms. Ingress and Pokemon Go share most of the same "spots" so it should help.

This was the situation this evening in Gantry Park, NYC. Masses of people just losing their minds when the Pikachus started showing up.
Related: is it a dick move to not let your friend use your phone to log in and catch a Pokemon when their phone dies?

I just started playing this game yesterday. Are the footprints in "nearby" supposed to mean something? I have 9 pokemon on the nearby list, all 3 steps. But then when I walk around, a pokemon that wasn't even on the list spawns. No matter how hard I try to find these "nearby" pokemon I can't find them.
I don't understand what the "nearby" list is supposed to do and how it's supposed to work.

I seem to be pretty lucky since I can turn it on and usually catch at least 2-3 a day from my home. I've been lucky enough to get stuff like a Venomoth or Jigglypuffs too.

I mean if you already found the location, it probably takes like 1 minute. That's kinda messed up lol. It's a social game! Unless it's constantly switching for every poke you catch after their phone died then no, cuz that's annoying.

Yeah, before a few days ago, the number of prints would decrease if you were closer. There seems to be a bug or something causing all pokemon to show 3 prints. The distance tracking seems to still be there, because they change order as you get closer to one but farther from another. You just can't tell how close they are.

It's been glitched for a few days now.
It's meant to signify how far away the Pokemon are, so you know if you're going the right way, but well, yeah...

Thanks. I guess I won't be playing this game then until this is fixed. Too bad, I was excited too.
Hopefully fix is in matter of days, not months or even years.
I'm at 95/150 and am starting to feel the novelty wear off. Will be at 100/150 once I catch a few more moderate Pokemon for evolution.
But.... This game really needs PvE fighting outside gyms. I don't really see PvP being fun with the current battle system.
I'm actually playing Pokemon yellow again due to this game throwing me on a nostalgia trip. But I can't see me playing it for another week

I was with my boy and my phone was the one that died. Right after that a Slowbro popped up and I kept asking him to use his phone for 30 seconds and he wouldn't budge. His reasoning was "well what if better Pokemon show up while you use my phone?"
I was so upset lol

According to their website they aren't accepting them
And why the fuck are 100CP Zubats rustling my jimmies. Wasted about 10 on of those worthless shits last night, just kept jumping out the ball....
I've been the guy who's phone dies right when things happen... feels bad man. That's why I just purchased a powerbank off amazon...

That's the dumbest excuse ever because even if better Pokémon show up while you're using his phone, it's not like they're going anywhere lol. Sounds like he was just being a little selfish.
21 now... Oh, that two days grind. So far I can tell, that I will need 3 days and more for each level in regards where I live.
No new Pokemons in the last 24h and still at 66/66 Pokedex
Achieved medals are monotonous and describing the current situation much better:
On the plus side at least you're getting ultra balls?

Dangit the pokemon plus is going to be $35 dollars? that's just about the worst range... Where's just cheap enough that I want it, but just expensive enough that I have trouble justifying for free mobile game.
Well crap! Sorry. Maybe after they finish rolling it out, they'll start accepting them. I'd think this would be a good time to accept. With so many new players, they'd need pokestops in places where there weren't many ingress players..According to their website they aren't accepting them
I still don't get the appeal
So it notifies me when a Pokemon is nearby? K thx for the constant vibrating to let me know that a pidgey and zubat is within range

I'd probably do it only if it was an absolutely crazy catch. that sounds like a hassle.
Yeah, but saving them, since there is no real use here so far.
But what if it was a vaporeon!?!!??'

Agreed
They're worth saving, every starter evolution has made me burn through a ton
Just name your evee Rainer......... Lol
Sadly my vaporean is maxed.... Literally at my current level 1698
Galactic Fork

I hope there are different vibrations for differnet rarities. But it also keeps track of your steps when walking so you don't kill your battery with your phone out while traveling. I ride my bike everywhere but I can't keep my game open constantly. This hinders egg incubation.

This gym near my house has just changed ownership like 5 times in the last 15 minutes lol.
I was mocking the video of that herd of people swarming the streets for one
Mine:
I don't power him up anymore, he bores me

I mean I guess ._.
you used a master ball on a pidgey? not sure who's trolling who here lol
Just witnessed how big of a cultural phenomenon this game is today. Was walking around with like 15 friends around San Francisco today and it was crazy seeing just about everyone walking around the Embarcadero catching pokemon. And constantly running into strangers giving tips or telling us about rare spawns though some were trolls lol. Also if anyone is in the Bay we caught sooo many Psyducks around Embarcadero.

I sent that NYC video to my buddy. I told him don't worry no one around here is that crazy lol.
Damn dude..... What level are you to get him that high?
Edit: just realized level 22
Level 22 and master balls...... Guys story doesn't add up

So is it the right strategy to transfer all the weaker similar pokemons? or should I keep some?
I have more GREAT balls than regular balls so decided to do some testing
Really trying to thin most out for ultra balls tbh
Edit: my bad!!!

This reminds me that growing up one of my best friends mom's almost stopped letting him hang out with me because I liked Pokemon and she told him they were demons and I was going to hell for liking it.
There are actually people that believe this crazy shit
holy crap masterballs become common!? or at least common enough for u to have more the 10. well i'll be damned. What level do you start getting masterballs?
Read what you quoted brah

The other night I was stopped by my industrial plaza's security during my lunch break cause I was riding around a circuit of pokestops in the plaza at 3 in the morning... Not sure if I want to run into him again. *sigh*

Yeah, I'm not going to constantly switch my phone back and forth to catch things that have a better chance of showing up. If it was like a super rare, an evo that takes like 50 candies or something, then yeah, you can use my phone. Not for a damn Pidgey tho lol.
Im glad that were arent playing Digimon. He'd really have a fit with those digital monsters.
