Wasn't able to log in for a while. Got jealous of my spouse for getting two of the eeveelutions in the meantime--including my favorite of the main three, vaporeon. <3 (Would absolutely get the full set of all current eeveelutions if the game allowed it.)

You can pick which eevoluton to get if you name your evee the anime evee trainer's name (sparky for Jolteon, Pyro for Flameon, something for Vaporeon)

Wait, are there no items in the game? Like, do you have to buy (at a pokestop) one of the items needed to evolve Eevee? (Because, as my memory serves, I'm pretty sure you need an item to evolve a few evolutions of her/him.)

No, there are items in the game, but a few things: you do not buy them from shops, unless it's with real money. You can get pokeballs (and eggs, incubators, a few other items) from points of interest in your city, of which there are always a ton.

You normally DO need a special item for vaporeon, flareon, or jolteon--and various other pokemon--but not in Pokemon Go. All pokemon power up and evolve by eating candy that's specific to them. Ekans and its evolution Arbok both eat Ekans candy and grow stronger from it. Eevee can eat eevee candy and either power up, or evolve into a randomly chosen one of the three main evolutions. >_> And yes. Random. I will not get a choice once I finally get enough candy to evolve it. Fingers crossed for my fave.

What kind of Jigglypuff doesn't have Sing?

Arthesul · « **Reply #60 on:** July 20, 2016, 04:06:04 am »

Pikachu was my starter. Probably the best/rarest critter I'll ever find at this rate, which sucks because he has shittier stats than the non-easter-egg starters. Not that that matters, I'll have to drive 30 minutes to get to a gym and actually use my pokemon for anything anyway. I'm hoarding pidgeys in the vague hope that I'd be able to sell them or something for advancement in the game and/or trade them for pokemon I actually like, but for now all I have are these damn birds because that's all that spawns in areas of reliable connection in my entire neighborhood.

I have about ten of them now, and I hate them all. I would rather roast them alive with barbecue sauce and feed them to the homeless, but that would be too much gameplay for Pokemon Go. Gameplay is not a thing that happens, only an illusion of play created by ball-throwing and collecting 3-D stickers that you will rarely (possibly never) do anything with.

Granted, it's a fun egg-hunt simulator if you're really in a chipper mood and you don't know the area, but you're kind of limited to your yard if you don't have an accommodating data plan, and once you've gone to the same general area, you notice its tropes and spawn points, which immediately takes put the fun because now there's only about two working places to look for one kind of Farking crawly little bastard. Maybe two, if it's a particularly big/diverse yard, but I think our yard is above average in magnitude, even for rural areas, so I'm guessing most people'll find only one kind of bubble for one kind of thing in their general lifespace.

I sure wouldn't have kept a Pokemon game where I couldn't get past the first grass patch. Sure, I could blame it on me being a lazy bastard, but my entire area for miles around is the first grass partch, except things only twiddle about once every 5 hours or so unless you're spawn-camping the little bubble in which those ungodly brown sky-chickens are shat from the deepest bowels of Aztec Hell.

So, to answer Tim's question,

A jigglypuff from Farking Pokemon Go.
(Actually, the first wild one I caught in a real pokemon game didn't have sing until I taught it to them. I instinct way knew this was wrong because it went against everything Smash had taught me. BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT THIS GAME SUCKS!)

Arthesul · « **Reply #61 on:** July 20, 2016, 04:29:26 am »

On another note, what flavor is pikachu candy? I'm guessing it would taste like a lemon warhead, but there's orange stripes in it, and that just throws me the Fark off.

I do get into this weird phase semi-annually where I seriously consider joining cracked or some comedy or bloggy website for a while, but then I realize I have to write lists in order to get people's attention, and that puts me off it. And then, whenever I have an idea for a list, and I really feel like I'm ready to make lists in which every item is unclickable clickbait, I go to Cracked, and I check out some of their lists, and realize "Oh, wait a second, I'm not sure I want to enter this part of the market if media has evolved to the point where ridiculous lists like '4 simple reasons why it sucks to be in a self-mutilating racist death cult' and 'a point-by-point thesis regarding all the sex our writers allegedly have that our audience will probably never have' have become the standard of literary entertainment! This kind of thing just invokes Moby Dick sentences!"

...The appeal just always finds a way of dying on me.

Forge · « **Reply #64 on:** July 20, 2016, 10:36:51 am »

Sent, I realize it was most a rant but here's some help!

You only get a few basic Pokemon appearing when you are low level and that depends on your area type. Obviously you are in an area Pidgy loves.

Pick the best one then trade in the rest for more candies, you then can level it up and evolve it. the higher evolved states like pidgiotto use the basic Pidgy candies too.

You'll find do rarer and different types as you level up

Drakilian · « **Reply #65 on:** July 20, 2016, 10:45:19 am »

Also, save some pidgeys because eventually you'll have hundreds of the candies and nothing to use them on, so you can evolve your base pidgeys at the cost of 12 candies each and then get 500 exp back per pidgey! Pidgeys are the most important Pokemon in the game

Yes! I may grind up these disgusting birds and turn them into candy-flavored poultry meatballs! This game is now slightly better!

One day I shall zerg the gyms to death with an army of evolved sky-vermin! What was the stupid theme about pokemon? Raising your favorite ones with love and care in order to succeed? That's bullshit. Forget the time that little Sentinel loved Ozymandias the Dunsparce so much that he became a level 100 murder monster who beat the elite four almost singlehandedly. That's not the point of pokemon. Pokemon go is all about showing off the pokemon you like to your friends, and then systematically murdering all of the ones you hate so you can turn them into Soylent Brown.

My Dunsparce could easily Rage and flinchlock your blue furry porn star to death. Failing that, my level 70 feraligatr would leave them both with empty ribcages, because I gave him like, 80 Proteins. He was oneshotting level 40 gravellers with slash way back when he himself was level 40, and rock-types are supposed to be resistant to normal-type moves! Two best pokemon in the game, I could beat anyone with them.

Hell, if you sent out Hitmonchan first, I could just spam Rage over and over again, and when he's pwned, he'd have gathered up enough momentum to onehit your thunder-thigh ed bunny monster. Yes, I'm assuming Dunsparce could take everything Chan could dish out, but I'm willing to bet 300-something HP and a berry is enough to absorb anything the defense-based variant of an already pretty lame evolution chain could possibly dish out.

Dunsparce is best. He'll send your dolphin-faced sonic ripoff straight back to deviantart where he belongs!

So just went out with the wife and a couple of friends to a coffee shop being touted as the Pokemon Centre of the city. 4 pokestops within a few feet.

So constant 4 lures active and the place is packed, I went with about 85 poke balls and clicked on the stops every few mins for more but still kept running out of then I caught so many.

Got an electro electrobuz and a few semi-rares along with enough Pidgys to evolve up 4 Pideots so I could pick the best moves then still had enough candy to get it to 650ish...

Seriously the way forward, overlapping lures!

The game hates me. None of the places I normally go to is close to a pokestop. I mean, I could walk for 5 minutes to one, but I tried that before and it went like this:

- Walk to pokestop
- Wonder what I do now
- Spin the wheel
- Get 3 pokeballs
- Wild Ratata appears
- Escapes the first two that hit him because hes a CP10 beast
- Headbutts the 3rd

In other words, this game hates me.
