Do some research on IVs and the appraisal system in PoGo, they solve that issue you’re describing perfectly. I had similar complaints (whats the point of leveling up when you catch things that are like 500 CP better than the one you’ve been working on??), and have said for a while that the game doesn’t match the…

I think the main point is it helps you get candies for rare mons. For example, there are no wild water Pokemon where I live, so getting a gyarados or leveling up the one lapras I managed to hatch is next to impossible. But if I make them my buddy, then I can actually get candies.

Why would I want to get attatched to pokemon in pokemon go?
In normal pokemon games it makes sense... you catch it at level 5- name it Pancakes- see it level up and evolve and you carefully research the best movesets- have memories of wiping a gym- you fight the elite four and are basically a cheerleader for you own…

Trading will probably be the last thing they’ll want to add. People continuously searching for Pokemon they don’t have = time spent playing the game = micro transactions = profit.
Being gifted said Pokemon via trade destroys their business model. While I’m sure it will be added sooner or later, I can’t imagine they…

I predict lots of people will have Magikarps are their “buddy”

I would go with “loser plays game for 12 hours, doesn’t understand that’s not normal”.

I see no problem with the underwater cameras, I see a problem with freaking out over seeing a woman’s nipple, especially in this context. They’re not sex objects, they’re athletes competing. This view gives a good look at a sport where a lot more happens under the surface of the water than the casual fan realizes.…

I love how randomly i get 1000 rattatas and 10000000 pidgeys. I JUST LOVE IT!

You are absolutely correct and I should have stopped a lot earlier but righteous indignation overcame me and I was determined that the stupid bird was not going to beat me. Since the “Pidgeot Incident”, I’ve done much as you have suggested and set a limit on how many balls I’m willing to waste on scrub Pokemon.

Gotta set yourself a limit on scrub Pokemon. All I’ll give a member of the Pidgey family is three balls and three berries. I’m not blowing a day’s worth of Pokeballs on 100 XP and 3 pieces of Pidgey Candy.

Same here. Yesterday I wasted 50 regular balls, 10 great balls and a bunch of berries on a CP 860 Pidgeot before I gave up (Lvl 18). I was just going to grind him into a candy anyway, but my incandescent rage kept me throwing balls at him.

It’s pretty obvious that they’re making server performance and stability the main priority right now. Everything they’ve done so far has been towards the goal of reducing traffic. Once they get that under control (and as the number of active users diminishes to what they can expect to be whatever their normal number…

Articuno is real, OK? This is a good bird, the best bird. I’ve seen many, many birds and I’ve created thousands of nests. If I was elected to head of Pokémon GO I’d work on legendaries, because legendaries are low, it’s incredible. And I would create more creatures in the inner cities, which is what I really do best,…

At this point they pretty much have to, right?

I really hope South Park makes a Chinpokomon Go episode.

God damnit

Well, I guess I can stop trying to get the trifecta. I already have the other two and only wanted Vaporeon for this.

Also I’ve noticed that if the servers are heavily loaded the distance is more poorly calculated
