    about to switch to the official app does anyone know if you lose your progress and start from scratch or does it save everything you've already done?

    Just re login and it's back to where you were.

    I installed from the plays tore over the apk. Since its an updated version of the first apk it just updated to official. My data is safe.

    So lads I have been playing on Android Apk file, do I uninstall that before downloading the official app? I don't recall creating a password to sign in.

    Happened to me too, the egg actually did hatch but didn't play the animation. Check your recent pokemon.

    With the APK file when I go to Pokedex and click on any Pokemon it just brings up the details of my starter Bulbasaur, still doing the same now I have updated, is yours like that?

    Do you have that error with the Pokedex I mentioned?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 36,397 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Not officially released in France (pity, might give the ISIS lads something to do) put playing wirh the apk an up to level 5.

    Have a few questions I can't find answers to in the quick guides.

    What do candies do?
    All the Pokemon I catch have less than 100 CP. What's the best way to boost them?
    How do I leave a Pokemon in a gym?
    How do I use a potion? Or heal all the Pokemon that got destroyed in the gym?
    Can I hatch eggs on the bike?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 419 ✭✭selastich2


    It's too hard to et your own lads in to a gym. There was 1 yellow gym round here. I went over and spent a half an hour trying to fight to get my lad in. A blue took it over. I went to leave. When he cycled off, I took over his lad. By the time I walked home it was red. Uggh, and having to revive them before you can put them in a gym.

    Where did you install the apk from as some may not have fully legitimate and may have been altered to steal information.

    When the game starts and you’re presented with the three starter Pokémon – Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle. At this point simply start walking away from these Pokémon. They will appear a second time along your path.Walk away. Do this a second time, and a third time. During your fourth time, you’d be presented with a Pikachu as your starter Pokémon

    Walked around there for an hour, maybe a bit less.

    No pokemon, pokestops or gyms.

    I work up in Dublin and live just outside it. Loads of stops, gyms in Dublin and a few when you are in the villages around me.

    Had to go to Mullingar on Thurs night, and was at the Hospital and a housing estate close by and absolutely barren. That's a bit shocking.

    Any difference between what account you choose.

    Google or pokemon account?

    Yea, trying to figure this out myself too - mostly since I last tried doing anything with my Trainer Club account back in 2011 (based on my e-mails); and demand means the recovery methods are inactive for now.
