Niantic took a long long time to add in pay things to Ingress. Like forever. They are pretty good about not making it a cash grab. They did that while holding huge events that were free to the players to come to. Live actors and a big story.

This will be slightly different because they are working with Nintendo but I don't envision it being a huge issue.

Yeah I'm not worried about it being a cash grab. I'm more worried about them just keeping the current, fairly light-weight and pokestop-camping focused game design.

It's like EQ but with sunlight! A bench in ranger of 4 lured pokestops is like a C2 camp in PoFire

i wonder at what point they started planning on using their data from Ingress for other games? from the very beginning maybe?

Couldn't get a phone today, so Pokemon Go is delayed and not out in Japan today. We'll see if I can get a phone tomorrow.

So there any Pokemon you avoid going after? I avoid Zubats like the plague, end up wasting way more Pokeballs than it's worth to catch the little faggots

So correct me if I'm wrong, but these maps prove that your level has absolutely nothing to do with the rarity of pokemon you find right? Only their CP?

Correct. This was assumed as soon as we knew that multiple people can catch the same pokemon. It's unknown whether level interacts with incense, however.

spawn points? 30 to 60 minute respawn times?

We're playing fucking everquest here.

You're 'supposed' to either wander around hunting them, or run a 60 minute or higher circuit.

However, the spawn time decreases to closer to 5 minutes if you lure a stop. Find 4 stops you can hit and you'll probably find other people who collectively lure it. Right now that's the best way to level in this game and it's a big problem, IMO, since it's super boring.

I hadn't thought about how similar it was to EQ until now.

Funny you should say that.

A "friend" is making EQgo.

Lure camping is definitely super boring and while efficient just isn't fun.

Similarly, taking down an established gym will net you some decent xp, but really isn't fun either.

After playing for almost two weeks now, my favorite part is the core gameplay of going to new places and seeing what Pokemon are there. I saturated on my neighborhood Pokemon fairly quickly.
