Does anyone vary their throws and have success with it?

I usually curve it one way, then the other, then throw it straight. Unsure if my 3rd throw success rate would be different had I thrown them all the same way

Dayum, spotted at a gym near my office today:

Luckily there was room so I left my Jolteon also there, should be in safe company for a while I hope.

i just realized, iv aside, pokemon dont really have different potential right?

Like a low cp pokemon if you gave it enough candy would max at the exact same cp as another one who started super high cp but was almost fully powered by default, right?

Or does the trainer level when you catch that pokemon make the ceiling higher?

For example can a 300cp dragonite ever become 3000 with a billion candy or was it just caught too low and RIP to the glue factory

When I see a gym of my team where a battle takes place, there is no way to jump in "help out", right? Have to wait until they take it and then take it back again? Same with if my Pokemon is defending, I just have to wait until it's over? Would be so much better if you can not only tag-team attack but also tag-team defend.

Really suprised the game has taken off as much as it did, there is so much cool functionality missing and it is somewhat one-dimensional. Still fun though but so much unrealized potential

I think a lot of it (aside from being called Pokemon) is that the game starts off pretty addictive and is good at hiding the fact that there's really zero depth to it. So everyone got on the bandwagon instantly and then the more people who have it the more fun it feels.

Also waiting for Niantic to be sued as they discriminate against people who live outside bigger cities...

the new tracker theyre beta testing is supposedly even worse for rural players.

They give pokestop locations images for where the pokemon on the tracker can be found.

They aren't discriminating, there's simply more **** in urban places over rural. It's not just this way with Pokemon.

That said, I do think that Pokemon should spawn more frequently in rural areas to compensate for the lack of gyms/stops.

Otherwise, I always curve it with a berry because... new update sucks for catching the pokemanz.

i know that almost everyone above lvl 35 was deemed a cheater not so long ago (and niantic supposedly banned everyone 38-40)

i think 34-37 probably still botting atm but theyre possible

This. So much ****ing this. Trying to catch Pokemon driving down the road has to be as bad if not worse than texting while driving. No one wants to die because y'all insist on playing while driving

I'm getting a little tired of catching pidgeys, drowzees, and ratatas. It's kinda making the game wear a little thin that these are the only pokemon i ever see. I sometimes see a spearow or a zubat but they're just as uninteresting.

Everything cool i get from eggs, got a 2nd snorlax, 1,700 cp. Pretty cool.

Not a troll... it's an addictive game. And I text while I drive. I've even told my family, if I die from a car crash, it's my own undoing and to play Tim Mcgraw's "Highway Don't Care" at my funeral as a reminder to people. Driving bores me. At least I always wear my seat belt?

God I wish we lived in a Minority Report world and posts like Nit's is enough to throw him in jail. Nit, we don't care about you - we need you locked up away from those you might kill
