Pokemon GO! (2016)

just need a Jolteon now. 
Pretty much about to give up with this
Only seems to work on WiFi
Can't figure out what's wrong
Too far behind now to catch up
I've had every error you can have
Live in an area with almost no pokemon.
Think it will burn itself out fairly soon
It doesn't seem to have a long shelf life to me
When it works the main problem is I only see a few pokemon (the boring ones)
And as you can't level up any unique ones there's no point in catching them.
If I found a cp 100 mew I'm never going to be able to cp it up for example as I'll never find another

Had a decent game before 3pm earlier then things started going haywire. Was hunting a fearow and hypno then the app got stucked in a pokeball loop. Had to close and never managed to log in again 
I think its when the US people are waking up EU and everything goes down

I really hope they've not put much effort into it, bit worrying if they have considering what they've ended up with.... But yeah I get what you're saying.
Decided to take a little walk round the village, seen some rustles a few streets up. As soon as I walk away from the house, notspots everywhere.
Another case of the UK's pathetic network infrastructure. Sometimes I think we're the technological peasants of the developed world.

I was at Beamish with the family, it had 11 (that I could count) pokestops but typical uk network I had signal to tag one 
It's been a shambles again today, hardly able to get in and as someone else mentioned it's stupid that all the Pokemon are clustered in the city and are tough to find out in the sticks. On top of that the pokestops system mean you are better off living in a city to progres.
Yeah it will get people out, but mainly wandering the inner city streets
Good base game and I'll keep collecting but I must agree that unles they do some pretty rapid updates I think it will die off pretty fast.

You've noticed the same thing I have. I had a bit of a read online and apparently number of pokemon is directly related to mobile signal density. So the more phones in an area, the more pokemon. Basically favouring cities whilst ironically you'd find more in rural areas.
He's on about not having mobile coverage...i imagine that has EVERYTHING to do with his network...
I'm going to take a long lunch at work tomorrow and trial this. Just went for a short 1k walk and despite having 4g had non stop connectivity issues.
If it's server overload it can fixed I guess but if it's just **** unless you are wifi or inner city I'll just knock it on the head. Only so long I can sit in the house capturing rattata and weedles on wifi

I think its just server issues due to the game being a lot more popular than they expected, thats why they delayed the rollout to places like the UK, though they seem to be ploughing ahead regardless...
Interesting
I think the problems go further.
It's the classic with MMO games that there will be a few very able people (either spending money or have a load of time) owning the game
This will cause people who work or are more casual to drop off
Then the hard core people will get bored and go back to traditional lazy gaming
To survive you need to be able to battle friends (like the games) otherwise it's only for the gaming elite
Not to mention the server problems and not knowing where the problem is
And again, more of a personal problem, living in the sticks.. There's nothing fun about it.
I don't even know if it will survive in cities due to having to play against everyone

I even wondered if my network was blocking the game, Internet was quick (ie speed test) but just endless pokemon go problems
It's a fair point re battles, the gym near mine has a 1.2k somethings or other guarding, I'm never having any pvp fun then
My closest gym (in a village) was only level 6 as of last night, when I failed to beat the head pokemon (CP200-300). But I upgraded a lot this morning, and despite not being able to challenge it again due to servers, I am hoping it will stay fairly low. One benefit of not being in a too busy area!
Gonna head out for a wander in a bit, too see if any luck getting into the game.
