I've started using the fastpoke map too. I'm determined to suss out the dratini spawning rate next to work and find out where the growlithes are that keep featuring nearby but never showing up!

Help! DS (autistic) is obsessed. He set himself up with a gmail account and usually if logged out email us there ... However good old iOS10 got rid of login details. He didn't make a note and we have tried all possible recovery emails.

We know his user name - can anyone help and prevent his continuing meltdown ( he has learnt a harsh lesson I know but he is lovely .. £

support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/227083887 don't know if this helps

dementedpixie · 15/09/2016 22:27

Go into the actual gmail bit on the phone and it should show all the googlemail accounts on the device. One of them should be the one he chose

How do you get the fastpoke map?

Walked 7k tonight to a restaurant. Got enough candy for my Pikachu evolve. And have my gloom to vileplume ready! Just need 3 Abra candy and 2 Jigglypuff candy and I'm good to go....so tempting not to wait!

Another 10k egg on the go now too!

purplesky I'm going to PM you.

fastpoke

I don't think much to it to be honest, it never shows anything for my area.

There's a chance the maps will stop working once the latest update hits everywhere as they've made changes to the Api again.
I used to use PokemonGo live map, it only worked on home PC and only scanned what would show on my phones nearby, since they fixed the tracking I've not needed to use it so don't bother now, as I have a google map of my town on my phone and the places I go to the most and as I've played and something has spawned I've dropped a pin on the map and noted the time, as time has gone I've probably gotten my local areas spawns and times mapped accurately. So if I'm walking to the shop and something interesting appears on nearby I don't need to drop a pin on anymore and if I'm having trouble using tracker, I can open my google map, see which pins within the sightings radius are active at that time and make my way there. It took ages to get my town accurate and there's a lot of spawn sites I don't know in the next town so it's a wip, but it's fun to do and won't get me banned as I'm not making calls to niantics Api.

Ive had my arse handed to me in a gym. My 1900cp Gyarados has been kicked out and replaced with a 597cp Snorlax and a 700cp Porygon

PokemonGo · 16/09/2016 01:06

I looked at pokevision when it was first released and I may have nabbed a Pokemon using it Blush but it just felt pointless I haven't used it since. I was tempted today when I saw a Lapras nearby but didn't give in.

Surely it must give you a huge advantage if you do use it Confused and probably explains why other people seem to have better Pokemon than me Sad

However, I have worked out the times the closest spawn points spawn and can often track down my nearbys. Half the fun is that desperate driving around trying to locate a rare Pokemon.

Am I sounding bitter Grin Grin

On the plus side I do seem to be getting a lot more 10Km eggs. I'm hoping to get a snorelax eventually.

DoctorTwo · 16/09/2016 05:38

Last night I hatched something so rubbish from a 5k egg that I can't remember what it was. then, 300m later my 10k egg hatched and a CP943 Pinsir registered to Pokedex, giving me enough XP to take me to Level 16.

LunaLoveg00d · 16/09/2016 07:22

I think the Pokemon novelty has worn off with a load of the kids now they're back to school round here.

I have mananged to put Pokemon in FIVE local gyms as luckily the blue team seems fairly strong round here. My Electabuzz has been in a gym without being kicked out for 10 days now. Finally got a Sandshrew yesterday out of an egg, and evovled a Wigglypuff.

Off into the city centre this morning for an appointment - tempted to set off an incense and wander around for 30 minutes to see what's around.

LunaLoveg00d · 16/09/2016 07:24

Oh and I have discovered with the new update you can change your screen name once - or have you always been able to do that?

SoupDragon · 16/09/2016 07:24

That Fastpoke Map consistently shows no Pokemon in my area. I would love to find a reliable Finder app/map

SoupDragon · 16/09/2016 07:31

Actually, the web version seems to show them but the app doesn't.

Itsoverpeople · 16/09/2016 09:21

Does anyone else have a pikachu on their shoulder yet?

Good grief. I thought 50,000 to get from 20 to 21 was tough.

IwannaSnorlax · 16/09/2016 10:44

How do you get Pikachu on your shoulder? He's beside me right now.
