    Guys, since official launch I'm just get my charachter standing on a blue screen. Like water. He won't move . Any ideas?

    Did you try to kill the app and restart it?

    How many caught a Pokemon only for it to freeze after caught and not register as yours, happened to me with a jynx and wheedle on my travels.

    I got the opposite many times, kind of, the app freezes before showing that the pokemon has been caught (before the three stars appear). After killing/restarting the app, it shows the pokemon in the list.

    What is the deal with the transfer button?

    You send the Pokemon in question to Prof Can't Remember His Name and he gives you a candy in return because clearly the different candies are soylent green expies. You lose the Pokemon permanently tho so you should only do it with ones you don't want.

    My game constantly crashes when I catch a pokemon and when I restart it doesn't register the pokemon caught yet takes all the pokeballs.

    On a side note if you want to choose your eevee evolution nickname your eevee rainer,pyro, sparky for vaporean,flareon,jolteon respectively. Worked for me for my vaporeon and jolteon

    For me it's about 50/50, sometimes I'll get them, others I won't.

    Had it happen with a Magmar earlier, luckily enough it registered as a catch, would've been sickened otherwise.

    Anyone else find themselves wandering into estates and getting funny looks ☺

    I'm curious about those who have mentioned running or jogging with the game. I'm supposed to be running 3-4 times a week but being so lazy about it...the app is actually making me exercise less instead of more. How do you manage to run and use it? I never run with my phone out, it would distract me so much and I'd never cover a decent distance if I kept stopping.

    I used it yesterday. Turn the AR off and you won't need to stop when capturing. Turn battery saver on and keep your phone upside down and wait for a vibration. I did lasts of a park so I got to grips where the pokestops where. Didn't need to stop once but then again I didn't go for any gym battles neither.

    20 pokemon caught with an incense and went from level 5 to almost level 8 in 5 miles.

    The eggs however only went up a few km. Mixture of me going too fast and the tracking system being ****e.

    Game froze many times as in my player is moving as u jog but no button presses register....happened about 10 times, game froze after catching a few pokemon too.

    All in all, I'm looking forward to my next jog!

    fun game. the constant crashes are very annoying though. lost a lot of potential pokemon cause of this.

    finally caught a ghastly just there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Finical


    Went for a walk there. The tracking doesn't really work, shows me walking, but stays in the exact same place, but updates eventually. That the same for everyone? Didn't catch a thing anyways!

    I still can't log in. Keep getting the "Our servers are humbled.....etc." message. I've been trying all day yesterday and today.

    A friend came over yesterday and she caught a few pokemon in my house while she was here. She was playing it right in front of me and yet I could not even log in. WTF like :mad:

    Any list of locations to find interesting pokemon anywhere?

    We're using this I think.

    Very frustrating day today. Walked over 5km while out and about but game froze / crashed repeatedly and nothing registered. Ditto for numerous efforts to catch Pokémon.

    Losing your items and not getting a pokemon is normal play, the only difference is the animation breaks and the game freezes so you don't get to try again and the pokemon runs away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,953 ✭✭✭JamboMac


    Saw a shape which i taught was just the normal seahorse pokemon, after a quick google the shadow looked more like kingdra. He would have been nice. Turns out their a spot at the top of my road which seems to be spawning spot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,133 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Lost cause trying to play this when the Americans are awake


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    I'm beginning to think that it's probably best to put it aside for a week, and see if the server stability improves. It was a wasted effort today from about 13.00 onwards


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


    Bit bored of it now. Very repetitive and the same three pokemons all the time. Tracking doesn't work so well and there a lot of glitches like the map disappearing. Gyms are impossible.

    Put in a request for a Pokestop near me. Have to drive 10 mins to my nearest one! I pity the poor local kids who are wandering around aimlessly finding noting because there is nothing in my area :rolleyes:

    Don't waste your wishes, it's been the same for us Google id folk as well!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,953 ✭✭✭JamboMac


    I think what could have been done to make the game better was, when your out it could have been just a pedometer and then the distanced covered could have been used in an only game so data wouldn't matter and people probably could of have Pokemon more easily distributed because it wouldn't be based on Google maps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Between only being able to play in the morning and the game freezing most times I get a Pokemon, I can safely say this is one of the poorest games I've downloaded. Sure it's ambitious, but that ambition has to be matched by application.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭Tinie


    Yeah can't log in at the moment with my Google id. So annoying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭Cutie18Ireland


    So not just me then? Bf sitting here all logged in with his Google ID :D not impressed :/

    Only way I can log in is by connecting through WiFi. It won't let me log in using mobile data. Anyone else have this problem?
