Pokemon crash course. In the main game series Pokemon is an RPG (Role Playing Game) where you are a kid who has reached the age in the Pokemon world where it's time for you to explore and find your place in the world. Your party consists of wild animals called "Pokemon" (short fort "Pocket...

I've been half way defending this up until now but it's getting harder to do. A lot of what has been posted so far could have been combined into more focused articles with less fluff. I mean, there have been multiple articles about what you can do with Pokeballs and how to get them that really...

The blue glow is a way to show what Pokemon you caught most recently. If you sort by recent catches you'll see the ones at the top should have the more prominent glow. At least that's what I've gathered.

I think it's to show approximately how active the area would be for Pokemon catching. I believe it corresponds to XM in Ingress. I know they did something using how much cell usage there was in an area to spawn in XM and I've heard it suggested that they are using that same data to dictate how...

If it's available on your phone you can use app pinning to help make sure you always have instant access to the game while moving from one spot to another. Even if your screen times out the game will come up instead of the lock screen when you turn the screen back on. I like to turn off the...

Lucky eggs double the exp you get for a while. I'm not sure off the top of my head how long.

I've never been in this situation before but I think this might help.

At the moment I'm stuck waiting for a new sim card (went with a free Google Voice number to cut costs a while back) so I've only been able to play on Wi-Fi. It can be done, but you are somewhat limited by your range. I went to my local coffee house and their Wi-Fi was down so I haven't been able...

They really did IAPs right with this one. You CAN buy stuff if you really want to, but as long as you are actually out and doing stuff it's unnecessary. I have heard about businesses buying lures to attract customers and offering discounts to the team that controls the gym where they are. I...

The whole game only really works at portals thing is what killed Ingress for me. Just not enough to do. I've been having a blast with Pokemon Go and I haven't even gone out to a single Pokestop or gym yet. Stuck waiting on a new sim card. With Pokemon Go apparently you can still fight a gym even...

There is a Bluetooth peripheral that you can use to do stuff without having to pull out your phone. I imagine once people get their hands on them and pick apart how they work someone will find a way to simulate one on a smartwatch, if that functionality doesn't get added in natively first. I...

When Ingress was in beta my dad would drive me around to all the portals when we'd go visit the next city over. I'm actually really glad there was a semi-active Ingress community in my area back in the day so my area, despite being a small town, actually has a bunch of portals that should be...

I said it on the post, but I'll say it again here. I'm fine with all the Pokemon Go posts. My town kinda sucks so no Wi-Fi at most of the old Ingress portals and the one that does have Wi-Fi apparently doesn't care enough to have the Wi-Fi actually functional half the time so I've been left with...

Re: How is the camera on the Nexus 5x The 5X has the same camera the 6P has so unless something bizarre end up happening between the two the results should be the same. The early reports from the 6P is it's camera is the second best out of the current crop of phones. I'm actually kinda excited...
