I watched a Neistat video on the pokemon craze yesterday - J Jul 14, 07:59 2
- Portable battery sales are going to go through the roof. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 08:01 1
  - Oh for sure. Portable battery packs, larger mah batteries and charging cables. Don't leave home without them. -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:05
And I mean 1200 cp -- nm - eag Jul 14, 07:53
it seems to escalate quickly and the CP of the pokemon you find grows with your level. My son is like in the teens for his level and finding 600-800 - oblique Jul 14, 07:52 40
- I'm level 9 largest I have is like 364cp -- nm - eag Jul 14, 07:54 39
  - Level 5 just now and I have nothing to brag about yet -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:07 8
    - I am Level 5 too and my highest is a 96 Jynx. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:13 7
      - how do you figure out highest? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 14, 08:31 2
        
        i don't have that many, it wasn't hard. (i only started last night.) -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:33
        
        you can sort your list by CP -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:31
      - I had caught a ~180 Pinsir before I hit 5. The only thing higher I've gotten was the 361 Tauros last night as Level 7. - ty97 Jul 14, 08:18 1
        
        very -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:19
      - 76 Seel.... -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:18 1
        
        Cool. I haven't seen one of those yet. -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:18
  - Level 12 and I've a Vaporeon at 717 a Pidgeot at 665 and a Jolteon at 663 as my top 3 - decline Jul 14, 08:04 8
    - What's the highest you captured though? -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:04 7
      - caught the Pidgeot at 638 this morning (and did 1 evolve) -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:06 6
        
        I'm only level 4 and I caught a 115 Beedrill this morning. -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 08:07
        
        Thanks -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:06 4
        
        they are *much* harder to catch at that level. You do get better pokeballs at level 11 or 12 though -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:09 3
        
        I've noticed they are already getting a little better at not being caught and that they escape more often even now. - ty97 Jul 14, 08:16 2
        
        make sure to use the Razz Berry's once you start getting them -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:17
        
        you should start getting raspberries now. you can use those before throwing the ball to make them easier to catch -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:17
  - have any of you actually spent real life $$ and bought anything in the game yet? -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:03 16
    - Nah. I think the real pressure to advance only comes if you're trying to control gyms for the prestige or rewards - oblique Jul 14, 08:09 8
      - (i will never control a gym, so...) -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:10 7
        
        With the levels some are at and the amount of hours they put into I could never control one as well - J Jul 14, 08:12 5
        
        as I mentioned below. Let others fight. Just jump in when there is an open slot - oblique Jul 14, 08:13 4
        
        Yep just read that, thanks -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:20
        
        the gym across from my apartment changes hands daily. It switched teams last night sometime after midnight - decline Jul 14, 08:16
        
        Hopefully they add friendly fights between friends -- nm - eag Jul 14, 08:15 1
        
        I recall PvP being one of the things they talked about before the release. I honestly think they have to just because of the CP creep issue we're - oblique Jul 14, 08:16
        
        it's actually not that hard. when a gym upgrades through others fighting there will be open spots. stick a pokemon in when you find one like that - oblique Jul 14, 08:11
    - I wouldn't but if I did want something I wouldn't be against using some google survey money -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:09
    - Nope and you really don't have too - eag Jul 14, 08:06
    - nope, and never will :) -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:04
    - No. -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 08:04
    - (this is a poll!) NO. And I plan to never do so. - ty97 Jul 14, 08:03 2
      - yeah, i don't know if i've ever made an in app purchase for anything, ever. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:04 1
        
        I refuse to do it for Candy Crush - REFUSE. I know one day I will get stuck and the fun will be over - Epiphany Jul 14, 08:08
  - Level 14, and my highest is a 760 Flareon, then a 669 Venomoth, then about 10 Pidgeots. -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 07:58
  - I got a 361 Tauros in the wild yesterday. Everything else is below 200. -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 07:58
  - Pinsar is 394 that's my biggest -- nm - eag Jul 14, 07:56
  - Yup. My best is Hypno at 569 and I've powered him up quite a bit. The best I find wild is 200ish from time to time - oblique Jul 14, 07:55
