Uhh, yeah, people actually care about the ability to track pokemon. Without that functionality the foundation of the game is shattered. If it was "so broken that you all rejoiced not having to pay attention to it" then it's obvious you didn't experience the app within the first few days of launch, back whenever the "step" tracking system actually worked wonderfully. It was thrilling to leave the house on foot with phone in hand searching for a poke in the nearby tab and hunting them down with the decreasing steps. As things stand now there are literally only two ways to play: Wander around on foot hoping to randomly encounter a random pokemon of a random type randomly Find a two or more pokestop location and lure them up while sitting between them, catching any random thing that spawns And each of those issues contain many smaller problems which complicate the gameplay and design: Egg distance doesn't track correctly while walking, only registering partial distance traveled by straight lines. Pokemon spawn timing has been doubled from five seconds to ten seconds, so playing on a skateboard, scooter, bike or any other form of active mobility is no longer possible as it not only won't track egg incubation but also no pokemon will spawn Catch rates have been altered to increase flee frequency and likelihood of breaking free as well as an increase in defensive animations (jumping, "attacking," etc) Locations with multiple pokestops (lure hangouts) are having pokestops removed (this particularly devastated my local communities player base, which had been gathering by the hundreds: http://www.sunherald.com/news/local/article93298392.html) Plus a lot of other issues have arisen over the past couple weeks. It'd be silly to say people are revolting because "of a system update" or "Niantic's actions." It's a lot more than that and there is definite cause for frustration. Granted, I've reached my personal stopping point (Kanto Gold Medal) so I would slack off regardless, but Niantic is making me reluctantly do so. Sure, the app isn't un-usable as is but it certainly isn't the game the company intended it to be at release by any means.

At least they FINALLY said something. if they would have posted that BEFORE stripping major and necessary elements from the game they wouldn't have experienced this backlash. I'm probably out until Johto gets implemented.

andy I need that copy of Slow Warm Death on tape. One of my favorite releases of 2013.

I think July 2016 will forever be looked back on as the month of Pokemon Go but I think it's a nosedive fast from here.

Just opened mine!! Gotta admit, I'm more excited about this than the vinyl atm since I can actually listen to this one more often! Still may be my favorite release of the year to listen to so far

Watergun is now effectively as useful as an actual water gun. edit: actually, there's a lotta changes. Pokemon menu uses a new font for names which is much easier on the eyes. Transfer and Favorite button are now located in a pop-up bubble menu on the bottom right so no more scrolling down to transfer. Also the Pokedex works for me now. And of course the awesome ability to changer character avatar has been implemented so I can take this ugly yellow off.

I played through Steamworld Dig on my vita. Fun combination of platforming and "motherload"/"mr.driller" type games.

Yeah if you dudes only know Gen I you're missing out on some really cool pokes. Toxicroak, Milotic, Mismagius, Houndoom, Gardevoir, Shiftry, Chandelure, Wailord, Drifblim, Dusclops, Rhyperior (which makes this list of cool pkmn solely because it SHOOTS GEODUDES OUT OF ITS HANDS LIKE CANNONS).......so many cool pokemon to discover for you guys!

Dude that's crazy!! I hit my self-set goal of achieving the 100 Kanto Gold Medal so I may begin to play a little less. It's so insanely hot down here on the gulf coast walking around today!

Is there a way to hide text on this forum? I dunno what else I can do besides making it as small as possible with gigantic warnings.

Seriously, in the past week every poke flees after one or two balls. I'll get four flees in a row sometime.

Me: I haven't listened to Alcest in years, I probably won't even remember to check this out when a single drops Them: weeab Me:

edit: removed because I don't want to accidentally spoil for anybody and I can't figure out how to hide text.

No, it 100% does do this. Pretty heavily since the last update for lvl 20+. Not all the time but some rarer pokemon send that shit flying as though they have an anti gravitational field or something. Twirling it until the stars appear and curving it negates this effect though.

Whenever I hit level twenty I absolutely had no choice but to start twirling the balls and throwing curves. It began to neglect my straight shots like seventy percent of the time which is incredibly annoying. Also annoying is that it almost never gives me the bonus whenever I successfully throw curves.

He's not this generation's elliott smith because this generation has no elliott smith. I mean alex is literally my favorite music of the past half decade but even I can't compare him to elliott's impact on music. Although I do also use Elliott has a familiarizing point for material like half of Beach Music since it seems Elliott has been a huge influence on Alex's approach occasionally

This post makes more sense than anything I've ever read with my eyes

Yeah, a few pages back I spoke of my troubles with transcribing my caught amount per pokemon because of this bug. It's frustrating.

I don't think this is accurate....Up until DSU, RACE was Alex's most known work, specifically for Gnaw which was his most shared song in the early years. His bandcamp page has over 700 paid supporters listed for RACE and we all know how sought after the /100 cassette has been for the past half decade. Contrastingly, I think that descriptor would be fitting for Winner, which while a truly great album didn't receive the same response from listeners. RACE is just FULL of classic pop songs.

Vinyl release would be unbelievably cool but I seriously would lose it just for another cassette run.

You fuckin w/ my emotions mistyfrompkmnshakingheadno.gif Looks incredible. Sad I couldn't grab one this time!

That's really cool! Outta curiosity in the core games is Nidoqueen as superior to Nidoking as in Go?

Here's a pic of me and my bud donny starting drip tapes for beginner pointers
