Pokemon Go!

I love that more people are sharing Trainer Tips videos here now. it makes me happy.

apparently there is a massive memory leak in the game. i thought people were talking usual crap when I read it. so test it for yourself.
open the app. check memory usage.
open a level 10 gym, check memory usage.
close the gym open it again and check memory usage.

4 or 5 repeats should crash your phone.

Also I figured out there is a softban on gyms. if you fight a gym, and your gps makes you wonder out of range and you get error, that is it, 10 min ban for you tough luck buddy.

all these wonderful things I am learning because I am playing on a 4 year old phone instead of my regular flagship...

Yeah I actually realised this at a gym on Saturday and had to explain to the GF that that is why her phone slows down.
 
Right so for those of you who have missed it, there have been massive changes to spawns. New spawns, removed spawns, new spawn timers and frequency of spawns have changed. They have also changed randomly, so the changes in your area wont necessarily be the same as the changes to people who had the same spawns as you
 
anyone else notice new spawn locations?

I read about it on silphroad this morning and theough meh, wont affect us.

at home there was no real difference.

but at work, holy cow what a difference.
all the old spawn points are still there, and there are at least 3 new points that I have identified. one is litrally my desk. and the other two are on my way to hitting the pokestop and gym.


so today I have caught about 15 more pokemon than normal.

the spawns are also different. normally I see hitmon chan and lee, maybe once a week. I have had 3 today (2 chan 1 lee)
I never see Onix at my office, today has heen 2.
I have seen EVEN MORE growlith then normal. and still lots of nidoran.
also think this is now a sandshre nest. it used to be a frequent spawn, now I think it is a nest. I see one when I open the app 100% gaurenteed. and if I check pokeview.co.za on my work location I can see two or 3 at the same time. not exiting, but its the first time I have seen multiple of the same thing on screen at the same time.

also while walking to the checkers for lunch, across the road from the checkers and from the newscafe there was 3 growlith on my screen at the same time.
 
anyone else notice new spawn locations?

Didn't make a difference to the suburb I live in but I noticed in the the general Sandton area, there are a few more spawn locations and there's more variety. First time I've seen a Golduck and Exeggutor was today but I've driven on that road hundreds of times before.
 
Wife caught an eggsecute and I've seen one, no big differences other than that though
 
I went though 50 pokeballs, 20 great balls and 7 ultra balls today.

And I didn't miss much
 
pokeview told me of a dragonite about 1km from my office.
I had 14 minutes.
I grabbed my phone and RAN.
got there, it spawed.
11 ultra balls (2 miss throws) 26 great balls (about 10 misses) and 46 pokeballs (about 20 misses)

then I was out of balls. but I had coins!
run from him. he was still on screen.
open store, buy balls.
close screen.
dragonite gone.

rip 30mins of productive work time, my shins 100 coins, and a 1500CP dragonite.
:cry:
