Shorty Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Whatever you need to do to feel justified in cheating at the Pokemons, man. I just walk about. Like in pokemon! I'm already at 30 types caught. Do you want to see my Rattata? Well, I am at 64 and only one have I actively gone after using the map, a Kadabra that appeared near my house (which normally has nothing but Weedles and Pidgeys). And I would've gone for the Wartortle if not in working hours. You have 30 types, but if it ever came down to that one last one that you needed, and the 3-step system was still broken, bearing in mind that's the intended method of playing the game, you wouldn't do anything about it? Not sure how you can consider a tool that uses Niantic's publicly available API to map pokemon to be cheating, although I consider it against the spirit of the game - if it was working properly.

bob Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 In my mind it's akin to those who radio in the locations of the Big Five whilst on safari. Yes, you managed to see a leopard, but all the fun and mystery of searching is gone. So to be serious, no I don't think I would use that map. And to be clear, I have no problem with you using it either. I'm tugging your leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I just walk about. Like in pokemon! Sure. I bet in the original games you never once looked up where to find a specific pokemon. You just crossed your fingers and hoped that pressing up and down in Viridian Forest for half an hour would eventually net you a Pikachu. PS, sometimes just saying "lol joking" doesn't make what you're saying less rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Sure. I bet in the original games you never once looked up where to find a specific pokemon. You just crossed your fingers and hoped that pressing up and down in Viridian Forest for half an hour would eventually net you a Pikachu. That's what I did seeing as the Pokédex said that was the area to catch a Pikachu. I'll have the cake please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) How did you see the Pokedex entry for Pikachu before you found one? Ironically just found this on my way home, Professor Bob will be happy to know without the use of the map...

bob Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Indeed! Doesn't it taste sweeter? Figuratively of course. Don't eat Pikachu. I am currently sheltering from a thunderstorm on my way home, and found a Bellsprout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Like I said, 64 Pokemon found this way :p I only used the map once because a Pokemon I wanted was on the nearby list but impossible to track down. You have a set amount of time til it despawns and it could take hours to go down every road within the 3 step radius. I know I'm not the only one who has used it out of the people I know playing Irl. What about on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 How did you see the Pokedex entry for Pikachu before you found one? When you see a Pokémon from an opposition trainer it fills in the area data in the Pokédex, no? Then, when you eventually catch one it fills in the description. It's been since like '98, man. :p Download it on 3DS and check already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I've caught 75 pokemon, seen 78. Of the three that got away from me, two were beacuse the game crashed. The third was a Pikachu that I used a Razz Berry, threw Great Curve ball and he ran off once he broke out. Fair play to him, that fucker wanted freedom. I'm level 18, too. I need more Eevees to power up my Vaporeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Has anyone contemplated spending any actual money on the game? I haven't needed to, but I wonder if I'll be tempted when I've run out of Pokeballs and a rare 'Mon appears. It's easy to justify 79p once or twice.

Ashley Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 @Dr\. bob would you allow us to cheat in the game if we signed up to Team Rocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yes, but then you'd only be allowed to own either a Weezing or an Arbok, and a Meowth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to justify 79p once or twice. yes i've spent £7.99 on it, when i first got it i had no idea what i was doing and was firing pokeballs like they were pellets in a pellet gun and ran out. Thankfully i'm now not so bad and have a float of 60 of each ball most of the time The sound man on the right looks like he has some sort of growth problem, he has a rather small head and arms - poor man Edited July 29, 2016 by Agent Gibbs Automerged Doublepost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occasionally get some surveys through the Google Rewards app which gives you Play Store credit. I usually used it to download some music, but it can be used for in-app purchases so if need is high, Pokémon Go may get some of my accumulated money.
