Ah cheers.

Any indication of direction you have to walk?


Could be wrong, but I think If you select the Pokemon from the nearby menu down the bottom right.

It'll just focus on that Pokemon on your main screen when you walk around. And I believe it flashes more frequently if you're heading in the right direction. And then the amount of foot prints will decrease as you get closer.

Although I was following a kangaskhan for ages today, got it down to two, then one footprint after walking forever and then it just disappeared.
Not sure if the game just ****** up, or there was only one kangaskhan there and someone caught it before me.

Only way to triangulate position is by walking in a random direction unfortunately. Hoping those footprints decrease to 0 so you can catch it.
I'm pretty sure the Pokemon are set on a timer, so every few hours the uncommon ones will change positions.

As people have been levelling up, lures have become an occurance to watch out for.
Any pokestop with pink confetti around it will attract Pokemon for everyone near it.
So get a team together and head to pokestop and chuck a lure on!

Magarey Grove on West Lakes Blvd is a pokestop haven. Nearly every 2nd or 3rd tree is a stop

Imagine if any coffee shops, food stalls, bars or pubs (with a pokestop) caught on to this craze!
Buying pokecoins (14,500 @ $160) and using them on lures to provide 7 days of 12 hour non stop lures would easily generate the $23 a day outlay back in general sales for as long as the craze lasts.
No brainer!

My church is a pokestop apparently.. I'll sort it out for sundays for all of you if you like... ;-)
I am not talking to you for 3 minutes because you punched me in the head and it hurt and that was not okay for you to do

Pokemon GO actually did make me go to church on Sunday.

We had lunch at Nordburger, then had a walk up Port Rd. Ended up in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church carpark as its a gym. Beat the first guy, but there was no hope of beating any more.

Just went for a walk and picked up an ekans and rattata. Then walked around for ages trying to find the two "nearby", one looked like a sandshrew but they never came closer than 3 footprints away.

Chuck up a screenshot of your collection now Zartan. I reckon you'd be well ahead of most people. Especially considering you're seeing Venusaurs.

My collection isn't as great as it should/could be - I've decided on a different approach now, and I constantly transfer my duplicates.

I'm trying to build up the CP of the Pokémon I've got before I evolve them too, and trying to do more gym battles. I'll upload some shots in a sec..

I've just imposed a "Don't talk about this ******* shit in the office" ban.

The boss, one of you lot wasn't overly happy, the kid was pissed. Bad ******* luck.
