Wanted to make a post about stuff I discovered so far in the game that I can't find anywhere else.
Please contribute if you know something I haven't posted.
Nearby Tab-
On the bottom right theres a tab that tells you what's nearby (no shit). Now in order to use it correctly first you need to know how to read it. Lets say there are two rows of Pokemon on that tab the first Pokemon on the first row is closest to you and the last Pokemon on the bottom row is furthest from you. Foot steps are also in indicator on how far they are from you, one foot step is 10 meters away, two foot steps is 20 meters and three foot steps is 30 meters.
When tracking a Pokemon and to take full advantage of what I just wrote you must have the nearby tab fully opened. Just pick a random direction and walk. If for example the Pokemon you want is the third Pokemon on the top row after you walk a bit it should either drop or go up in that row. If it drops you're going the wrong direction and should try the opposite. If it goes up your on the right path (think of the hot and cold game).
Pokeball throw/targeting-
So your about to throw your pokeball but don't know how to go about it and what the hell is going on, on screen.
First there is a color scheme when your about to throw the ball. Green is easy catch, orange medium, red is hardest catch and will must likely escape the pokeball. You will also notice that there is a circle that is changing size and resetting every few seconds. You must throw the ball when it is at its smallest to have the greatest chance at catching the little bugger.
On that note you have to aim the ball at that target but I found that just hitting the Pokemon on the head is sufficient.
Also note that if you twirl your finger on the screen the pokeball will sparkle and that is an indicator that you can throw a curve ball which gives you extra experience points (not easy).
There are two view modes AR and Poke world. It's a lot easier to catch them once you've taken your photos to switch to poke world. Don't believe me? Try it out!
General-
So your level 8 for example and noticed that in your poke-dex only has about 133 Pokemon to catch but as you level up more Pokemon are added to your poke-dex.
Once you hit level 8 you'll be introduced to Razz Berries which calm Pokemon down on your next throw and at level 12 you'll start getting great balls!
Different Pokemon show up at night then during the day and if your around any body of water!
Common Sense-
Don't trespass on private property.
Don't Poke-Drive.
Pay attention to your surroundings.
Bring a buddy and hit up downtown areas or parks.
Thats it for now!!!
Team Mystic FTW!
