I'll just play the Simpsons app instead like I've done the last 3 years already. Right now the app isn't working so I gotta do something else anyway lol
Was the luckiest fuckin catch of all time too. Had 4 great balls and 3 Pokeballs left. All 7 did that auto curveball bullshit. Run from the battle, buy 20 Pokeballs. 1st one connects finally and immediately freezes. Reboot and he was caught. Whew.
Have 2 Kadabras that I evolved. Almost close to Alakazam. Have 4 Growlithe over 490CP that I will probably use for trade. Arcanine is top 10 of the strongest CP in the game.
Goddamn. This is the library by my house. There were hundreds of people there. Caught staryus, magikarps, a dratini, egg hatched into a Machop... fuck man. Will be back frequently.
I'm only a lvl 7. There's not many good stops by my house, and the ones by work are too far to get to reach from where I'm at. My strongest Pokemon is still under 200.I don't really know what the fuck I'm doing lol.
I'd believe it. Yesterday with that Snorlax was the most hyped I'd been since the 3 step bug started and that was all by complete chance.
A lot of people on Reddit are saying the 3 step bug is a result of Niantic doing it intentionally so there is less strain on the servers. Either way it's ruining the game.
Death is not the worst of evils.
You can't be down, when you're always high.
Also from a reddit post. Its about how it measures the distance from eggs. which, no surprise, is fucking retarded.
Distance tracking doesn't work how you think it does
Many people are assuming that distance tracking, while the app is open, works like apps like RunKeeper or Strava; the app measures your exact route, every turn and deviation, every meter. This is not the case; Pokemon Go appears to work like Ingress (unsurprisingly), using refresh displacement measurement. What this means is Go notes your location, then waits an amount of time. After that time has passed, it measures your location again and works out the straight line distance between the two points.
What this means is, if you're walking a weaving path, back and forth, and happen to be quite close to your starting point after the first location check, it won't measure the entire distance you've walked in the intervening time. It'll just measure the straight line distance, which can be considerably less.
I verified this over three days; I spent my lunch walking around a my local park (which I know the circumference of) and observed the egg progress in the app, which was running the whole time (this is important, the app only tracks while open). The egg progress didn't go up as much as my actual distance, which is the issue people are reporting. Then yesterday, I carefully measured my walk to work progress. 1.6km in a pretty much straight line. All my eggs got 1.6km progress. Did the same thing today, 1.6km walked, 1.6km tracked.

2/10 on that blunt thought would not smoke

Yeah i I didn't even open it yesterday. I'd like to play it but I don't really see the point right now.
