Pokemon GO! (2016)

Droolinggimp · 14 Jul 2016 at 10:27

Ok I have this on my S5. Never played Pokemon at all. I a currently level 3 (just started) I get the jist of the game so no need for help there. However, the nearby button (bottom right) once pressed shows near pokemons some greyed, I presume these are ones I have not seen before? So I select the greyed out one and it goes back to the main map with that selected pokemon on the bottom tab. Now does this mean the game is looking for that pokemon?

I always forget to check phone when I am out and about. Always remember the game when sat at my desk at home.

It won't specifically try and find that pokemon, it just means you can see right there from the main screen how far away that particular one is, so it just helps you track it a bit easier

Where do you get eggs?

Go to a pokestop, spin the disk, and sometimes you get an egg. They do need to be incubated.

Cheers. I have just actually read up on it. The footsteps meant nothing to me, now I know 1 foot is close and 3 is far and I would need to walk towards the rustling grass. Off out soon so I will charge up phone and make sure I keep the game running. I have read that the screen needs to be on to find them is that right?

Until the Pokemon Go Plus bracelet becomes avaliable, yes the screen needs to be on and in the game all the time.

Ignore the rustling grass I would. In my experience 3 footsteps can be as much as a 4 or 5 minute walk.

They really need to add PvP, so I can destroy my friends hopes and dreams.

Nope

Starting to think it's pointless trying to track down Pokemon that are 3 footsteps away - they also sometimes get stuck there even though they are gone. Best to just chase down 2 footsteps or less

So patanosta square is a wash of people walking around d aimlessly catching Pokemon

How do you join a gym thats already controlled by your team?

Captain · 14 Jul 2016 at 12:37

Have to battle the gym until it gets to the next prestige rank. It then opens a slot you can deposit a pokemon at.

You battle the pokemon that are there and you gain an extra pokemon slot if you get enough points and can then add your own to that empty slot

Do Pokémon move about or will you not find one in your car again if you have already? #Pokénoob
