Pokémon GO – How to Coordinate with Local Trainers!

ClLmLQZUkAA44MH

Greeting Pokéjunglers!

Pokémon GO’s full release is fast approaching. It is currently due sometime before the end of next month. Many new features have been added for BETA players in recent days, such as the ability to use Pokémon candy (formerly evolution shards) to increase the maximum potential of a given Pokémon, or the ability to earn rewards for defending gyms. The general consensus for the game is that as long as you do not go in expecting an identical experience to the main series, chances are you will enjoy the reportedly challenging and addictive experience.

Despite the app still currently only being in BETA, trainers have found a way to coordinate and communicate with each other in order to get the most out of the experience. GO Chat is a unofficial third-party app that allows Pokémon GO users to reach out to other trainers for the purpose of  managing gyms, asking about locations of specific Pokémon, and later down the line trading. The app has an amazing two-thousand active users each day despite Pokémon GO not being widely available to the public yet.

Currently the app is available here for free on the Google Play store and after reaching out to the creator we have been assured that an iOS version is due mid-July. We were also told that precautions are being taken to keep the app safe from being taken down in the long-term, and that more professional graphics are coming soon! The chat app is doing really well and with the impending release of the main app there are no signs of that hype slowing down. What do you guys think? Will you be using this app to coordinate your very own Pokémon adventures in real life? Let us know below!

  1. I seriously hope there is a good amount of Pokemon for every area. When school begins in August, I doubt I’d encounter many Pokemon. Yet, I’m willing to give Pokemon GO a solid try. Now it’s time to try purchasing that GO Plus device!

  2. If I remember correctly, there are three teams you can join: red, blue, and yellow. What team will you all be joining?

    • I would like for there to be a Dark gym, but other than that, es nice.
      Glad to see there’s not electric on the list.
      Seriously, I think every gen (Excluding Gen 2) had an electric gym, so it’s getting a bit annoying.

      • Your comment inspired me to create a list of the amount of times each type has been used for a gym/E4. I’ll post it below, but these are the 8 most unused types: Fairy (expected because it’s new), Steel, Ground, Poison, Normal, Flying, Grass, Dark.

        Here’s the full lists: [Note: I counted the 1st gym in B/W as 3 separate ones]

        Gyms:
        Water – 5
        Electric – 5
        Rock – 4

        Ground – 1
        Steel – 1

        Rock – 0
        Grass – 0
        Flying – 0
        Normal – 0

        • I honestly forgot Water’s been used as much, but yeah, water can go eff off too. Rather get some underused types some love.

          Reply
    • I’m thinking

      Normal
      Steel
      Ice
      Poison
      Fire
      Rock
      Ghost
      Dark

      I hate how Ice and Steel Gym are primarily in the latter half, and Rock Gyms early on. I’m hoping they change this around.

      Reply
        • Why not? Just because it’s easy to beat doesn’t mean it can’t be a challenge. E4 these days are pretty bad anyway.

          Plus Bug – arguable the weakest type – has been an elite, and Ice – 4 Weaknesses has – been an elite multiple times.

          Reply
    • The first gym should be normal and the last gym should be Dark. Or they could do what I’ve been bitching about for years and create gyms based on other things besides Type.

      Reply
    • I agree. Well I mean Im gonna get Pokemon Go, just to see how it is and if I like it or not.
      The bit I don’t like is paying the price of a new game just for a fancy Poke watch that flashes when a new Pokemon is nearby, while Im sure I could get a push notification if thats how the app works

      Reply
      • Hopefully push notifications are a thing. I can’t just get them on my watch… screw that tacky thing.

        Reply
    • Why do you think it’s a cash grab? The mobile app falls within my expectations really, not to mention it’s free too.

  3. I have a brand-new theory for Pokemon Sun & Moon, which revolves around the Strange Souvenir. I believe that the Strange Souvenir is the Guardian of MeleMele Island or one of the four main islands of Alola. It might serve in summoning a Tiki-like Pokemon, which defends a specific island from danger. I could see GameFreak enforcing a post-game quest to hunt of the Tiki-heads and summon the Pokemon. I’m quite sure that Tapu Koko is going to be a Tiki-like Pokemon.

  4. I want to discuss something from Zelda: BotW, if there are any fans around here. As a recap, you know that the first area is on a high plateau, and if you jump off, you’ll die. To safely jump off, you have to get the Paraglider, which you receive after doing all four mini-dungeons. It essentially makes sure you have the necessary runes/abilities to start the game.
    Now, the interesting part. There’s like seven areas surrounding the plateau, and with some more areas behind them too. They are all distinctly different (Desert, Hylian Castle, Snow mountains, Forest, Water domain,…). If you jump, you can’t go back until you at least find a shrine that serves as a warp point. And even then, it’s best you just explore the area in full to discover its secrets.
    So, where will you jump off? It essentially determines your adventure and the way you tackle the story. I think I’ll go for the south first and do some forest walk, before going fishing for Zora’s in the Water domain. After that I’ll just ride to the very north and start my way from there.
    The possibilities of the game are endless and it really calls for my sense of adventure and discovery. Easily the game I’m most interested in right now.

  5. What if instead of a third master legendary like Rayquaza or Giratina, what if we had two? Pokemon that are actually the sun and moon spirits. Sogalao and Lunala are the emissaries of the sun and moon so it may not be too off.

  6. okay guys I got a question,same like the last one but a little different: how many cartoon characters that look like Pokemon?

  7. I’ve been getting really excited about the NX lately. Ubisoft has said that it will recapture a lot of the Wii audience, which would mean a Nintendo renaissance in 2017. Reggie, Iwata, and Kimishima have also said that the system will present a bran new way to play, which I think is extremely important right now. Since I don’t believe we will have to wait until later than October, we’re only a few months away from an entirely new generation being announced!

    Anyway, we can talk about that later. I have a question for you guys. Before the NX releases in 2017, I’m in need of a new monitor for my Nintendo gaming station to replace the old one I’m using for my Wii U. Do you think it would be smart to go with 4K (as I would have to upgrade up to it at some point anyway), or just stick to 1080p? I feel like it may be smart to wait a few more years for 4K to become mainstream, and for higher-quality 4K monitors to become cheaper. I’ve spotted a really nice 1080p monitor that I definitely want, but the whole 4K thing is what’s changing my mind. I need somebody to convince me otherwise.

    Reply
    • Better invest in a good 1080p monitor with accurate colors and wide viewing angles. 4K will eventually drop in price and become better when you need it. To be honest, I saw some 4K monitors with 4K content and it isn’t all that special.
      And will it be TV sized or be placed on your desk? Because in case of the latter, a 1440p might serve you if you ever want to build a ‘decent’ PC. I don’t know what your price point is, but the Dell U2515H is a favorite of mine, although it needs external speakers connected to the 3,5mm jack to get some sound. The Dell U2414H is similar, albeit 1080p and 1″ smaller, but offers the same accurate colors, wide viewing angles and small input lag for an IPS display.

      Reply
      • It will be 27″ and I already have some good external speakers. It’s not placed on my desk either. Thanks for your suggestion, I decided last night that this is the better option. I’m not going to use this with a computer (since I already have dual monitors prepared and I have no more room), so I don’t think I would invest in 1440p. That’s probably what I will do when upgrading my other monitors in a few years’ time. The model I’m thinking of is the ASUS MX279H 27″, which is also an IPS monitor and looks really nice. I suppose I’ll purchase closer to the holiday season 🙂

        Reply
    • I’d say to got with a 4K Monitor if it has good view angles at a low price. Also, CD Project Red said the NX will be amazing at it’s release. Those guys are the last people to kiss up to Nintendo. They are the developers of Witcher 3, which is one, beautiful RPG!

    • There are rare fighting types that have better special attack, that includes Keldeo and Lucario and Virizion. So not totally debunked, but likely based on how most fighting types have more Physical Attack, I guess unlikely.

      Reply
    • You do realize that it could shift as it evolves
      Also it could be a Special Fighting type and we definitely need one that isn’t Keldeo

      Reply
      • It can? Can you give an example because I can’t find it.
        Sounds cool to have a Special Fighting type, but I feel like that won’t happen.

        Reply
        • I said could, But a more believable case is that as it evolves it kinda evens out
          But like I said it could end up as a Special Fighting type which we could need more of, in all the special fighting types we only have Lucario, to an extent Infernape and Keldeo
          And this gives them an opportunity to create some more special fighting attacks which one could be TM

          Reply
    • I stated this in the last article about Popplio. There are a few Fighting-Types with a low attack stat. Yet, I do feel that Popplio will become Water/Fairy instead of Water/Fighting. Disarming Voice only adds to the idea of it not becoming a Fighting-Type.

      Reply
  8. well guys looks like there’s only 5 days left until the world hobby Fair,we’re still on the topic on my little question this is the same one but with a different tune:how many characters that take a similar appearance all the Pokemon?

  9. So I’m in a Fakemon mood
    I should work on my Rock/Electric Fossil Pokemon Electroscute and Conductodon
    Heavy stegosaurian Pokemon with massive boney plates that draw in lightning as were a lightning rod
    But this thing is total weakness bait; Ground, Water, Grass, Fightning,

    Reply
    • Cool concept. The only thing is the name for the second evolution. It sounds cool but doesn’t quite make sense that it ends in “don” if it’s a stegosaur. Maybe “stegowatt”? (Play on the word megawatt, unit of measurement for electricity)

      Reply
      • Its other half is Anklub and Quakelosaur
        Obviously Ankylosaurs with massive tail clubs that could create Tremors
        Rock/Ground
        Yeah yeah save me the whole weakness speech, I’ve used literally every Rock/Ground type on the planet to know the dangers

        Reply
  10. So Im not sure if people said this already, but in the sun and moon gameplay we saw at E3, I think its safe to say we already have the pokedex at this point. 😉 So Id just like to point out that the rotom was not an annoying notification spamming system like many people (including myself) feared. Now, this may change later on when your adventure really starts (or maybe they have it toggled off which is still great) but my concern is gone. Hooray!

  11. GameStop CEO, Paul Raines, has confirmed that the NX will have physical media. There were rumors in the past from Nintendo’s patients, which claimed that the NX or an unspecified console would solely use digital media. The more current rumors are seeing Nintendo drop the disk-based media in favor of cartridge. This could vastly reduce the load time and the storage capacity of games running on the NX. With the recent positive reviews of the NX from CD Project Red, I’m seriously looking forward to the system. My PS4 might have to move over for the system. :]

    Reply
    • Didnt reggie himself say something leading people to believe they havent learned from the mistake the wiiu was. That Nintendo will continue to stay behind sony and microsoft.

      Reply
      • Reggie stated that Nintendo will focus on content, not only performance. People thought it meant another weak system. Yet, Nintendo cannot make a weak system and expect content. So, the NX has to be acceptable in power.

    What kind of Gym would you have
    -Theme
    -Puzzle
    -Type Proficiency

    -TM

    • I would obviously be a Ground Type Gym located either deep underground or a hollowed out a Mountain, and to show I mean business you can’t get to me without solving my trick underground labyrinth any you better pack some gear because you’ll need Strength, Rock Smash and Flash to get through my domain
      My Team would involve my Rhyperior, Sandslash, Graveler, Gabite, Palpitoad, Piloswine
      Those who survive my Earthen Fury are begrudgingly awarded the Terra Badge and the greatest TM to be ever created TM 26 Earthquake

      Reply
    • Type: Poison
      Theme and puzzle: I have no idea of what to do without making it look really trashy
      Team: Dragalge, Venomoth, Seviper, Nidoking, and my signature Pokemon Drapion
      TM: Toxic
      Badge: Virus badge, looks like a bacteriophage (maybe the gym is a hospital to go along with that)

      Reply
      • Maybe go for the Venom Badge
        All your Pokemon seem to have venom

        But the Hospital could work, you could be based on a jungle or marsh that frequently treats visitors for poisoning

        Reply
      • OOOOOHOOOOOOOH
        Swamps, marshes all inside a terrarium
        I see a black blue grass and the field has mud, water and gunk everywhere with shady trees
        You’re Pokemon are kings of using the environment’s unforgivable harshness against opponents
        Dragalge and Serviper diving in and out of the water and Venomoth from the skies
        Nidoking is neutral territory but Drapion can cling from the trees and it can even dive in the water

        Reply
          • Mine would be kinda “Bowl Shaped” My Pokemon dive into the ground and attack from underneath
            Graveler uses Rollout a lot and Gabite would use Sandstorm to keep hidden and Dual Chop in the dust and always underground
            Sandslash has Sand Veil as well but kinda is the same with Gabite
            Palpitoad totally converts the field to mud and slides around
            And Piloswine just charges forward

            But Rhyperior is the full package, deep attack and defense, a stabbing Megahorn and plowing through the earth with Drill Run, and obliterating anything with Rock Wrecker

    • Dark gym (not cuz there isn’t one, but because I want one)
      The theme would be a backwards gum(hear me out) and it would have a bat theme/night. And the trainers would be “vampires.” You have a bat costume to fly from tree to tree and when you get to me my team consists of: Weavile, Houndoom, Cacturne, Pangoro, Mega Gyarados, and Krookodile. The tm is Dark Pulse and the badge is the shadow badge.

      Reply
    • Dark type (3edgy5me), idk what the theme would be? Maybe some kind of prison, or a dungeon… I remember I had a cool idea before that had to do with turning lights on and off but I can’t remember now 🙁
      Team: Original: Umbreon, Murkrow, Houndoom
      Rematch: Umbreon, Honchkrow , Malamar, Houndoom (M), Bisharp/Drapion
      TM: Knock off?
      Badge: Eclipse Badge

(I suck, just bye, wanted to make something Sherlock related since I love that show)
      Team – Gardevoir, Espeon, Meowstic (F), Reuniclus, Medicham, Malamar (can be various evolutions, like either meditite/inkay/duosion/etc., but due to not knowing what gym order I would be, I just listed their last evolution)
      Badge – Mind's Eye Badge (Only name I can think of, really)
      TM – Psyshock (Wanted to give out an offensive move, since I am an offensive player)
      I know, F-, I tried.

      • How about a gigantic doorway but you must remember objects in specific locations
        But as for a Badge I think the Wisdom Badge could be good

        But again the teams so far are just loaded to the brim with final stage evos

        Reply
        • I guess that works, I just wanted something like a mystery you had to solve.
          And Wisdom Badge works, I could only think Mind’s Eye for some reason.
          And yes, but as I mentioned, they can be changed to any of their evolutionary line because I dunno what order I would be in. Heck you can take away the last three depending on my order. I just listed what would be my team if I was the last Gym Leader

    • If I had a gym I would probs break the barriers if possible and have a dual Fairy/Ghost type gym, set in an old cathedral thats a little run down yet still brightly lit with sparkling chandeliers and tall stained glass windows. Erie music would be playing faintly from somewhere on an old gramophone. There would be pools of brightly coloured magenta water in the holes in the floor so you would have to go around them to get through the gym and trainers would have either ghost or fairies.

      My team would consist of: Misdreavous, Swirlix, Granbull and Mawile
      (if the last gym mega Banette would be added and swirl would be evolved)

      My badge would be the Erie badge
      TM- Dazzling Gleam

      (If you don’t want the two types thing just remove the ghosts and replace with fairies lol)

          • A weeabo is a term for non-Japanese people who are overly obsessed with Japan and its culture because of things like manga and anime. They will often argue saying that anime is better than any other form of animation.

          • oh, I see nothing with loving aspects of another culture, purely for manga and anime alone seems kinda… well hmm… but whatever makes them happy I suppose, I don’t understand why earthen seems to be making fun of them though, unless I’m missing something, 😛 thanks for educating me star storm

          • I say it because stuff like Fusions, all these outrageous abilities or attacks just sound like a overhyped fanboy idea
            And Earthen ain’t having that sh*t

          • Earthen… its fiction… I said I wanted those types because they were my favourite, chill dude, I couldn’t care less if they were in a game or not

          • oh well, maybe grammar is not their strong suit, or perhaps they really could care less 😛 who knows

          • Usually, weeaboos also think no other culture is better than Japan and exclude anything that isn’t from that culture. I’m all for loving aspects of different culture, but to exclude other cultures but one is kind of a bit extreme. There’s also terms for people who obsess over American or British culture in the same way, but es not as well-known.
            But basically es used at anyone who shows even a slight interest in another culture other than their own, and that’s not right. I’m all for using it on people who fit the definition, not someone who is interested in other cultures and what they provide.

      • I kinda really want to do Margaery from GoT too.

        So here is her team:
        Liligant (For the flower theme)
        Roserade (Same as above, but Roserade is just a little more fierce)
        Sawsbuck (keeps the plant theme alive with the flowers on the antlers but also brings in the Baratheon sigil)
        Swanna (Swans can be awful animals, and Margaery is pretty cunning and ruthless in her own way… also that elegance factor)
        Leafeon (cute, powerful, but doesn’t come across as ruthless)
        Blissey (cares for the community, loving)

  20. One thing I wish they do in Gen 7 is actually complete the guide book before it releases. They didn’t have images for many of the Pokemon, and a lot of information felt missing. It was incomplete, and they released it, and that probably bothers me more than it should.

    Reply
    • Why were they trying to hide the Kalos pokemon? A lot of them are meh and it’s not like there are many to begin with lol

      Reply
      • I don’t think they were trying to hide them, so much as they just didn’t put images in. There is just a blank spot where it should be.

        Reply
          • It’s super nice! I’m honestly not regretting this choice. The only thing I don’t like about it is the stylus I guess. It’s a big shorter than my last. My old one does fit in it though. The screen is so big though, I love it. I also like the new 3D

  21. Heh, with the trainers standing behind their pokemon, I just thought of this. Imagine you trying to catch a trainer’s pokemon and them just freaking out

  22. Off topic, but man I’m jealous of my girlfriends oldest and youngest brothers. They’re taking the whole summer to go around the Asian area. Spent the last week in taiwan, now they’re in Japan for a while, going to China after, then back to Taiwan for a while longer. I’ll tie it into topic by saying, imagine the different pokemon they could catch if pokemon go was out

  24. I’m feeling the fakemon’s itch
    Now truly and honestly I want to create a Fakemon for each existing type but those often get dual typed any that would just complicate it
    I have been interested in Fire Types lately so what would be a awesome fire type that hasn’t been done before
    Either a black cobra with glossy flammable scales Coalbra, a living purple and black flame that produces highly poisonous smoke Smolderume, a Rampaging Red Bull with a fiery anger. Infernox, Boiled Frog that has insane HP and Special defense but very little offense Froiler or Confrogerate and lastly a Peacock mixed in with a Pheonix

  25. So, I’m actually pretty excited for GO. I now embrace the fact that it is nothing more than a spin-off and something to reach out to the mobile audience so most of the game won’t be main series mechanics. I truly think that once we get more than just 151 pokemon it will be a LOT more interesting and will have a lot of diversity…
    So I’m pretty excited, plus I travel often so it’s definitely a fun thing to pass the time!

  26. guys, I’m thinking about getting pokemon bank, but I’ll be buying a new 3ds in a few months. do you know if I’ll be able to access my pokemons from both 3ds or if it’ll be restricted to the 3ds I purchased it from?

    Reply
    • This is an interesting theory, but I automatically doubt it. First thing first, the Lass is from the Alola Region. Wouldn’t GameFreak use the Lass from Kalos? Also, it could easily be somewhere from Alola since Hawaii is literally known for flowers. I love Bird Keeper Toby’s theories, but this is rather far-fetched.

      Reply
      • Yeah and I sorta realized that in the Alola region map, there’s certain sections of the islands that are cut off due to other structures, so it could be in any of those places.
        I still thought it was a pretty nice theory though, considering the yellow flowers do resemble the ones in Kalos

        Reply
      • True and we are probably not going to Kalos due to going to 2 regions would take a lot of space on the 3ds and it hasn’t been done since HG/SS.

        But something to point out, I wouldn’t think that a Lass has a Krookodile and Pangoro… So maybe the Lass is just a place holder for something they don’t want to show yet….

        Reply
        • Eh. I could see that as a possibility, yet GameFreak usually doesn’t do placeholders. It could easily be a later portion of the game where a Lass is using those Pokemon. Also, Krookodile and Pangoro does fit the Alola vibe, so I’m sure we will see them in the region.

          Reply
          • Yeah, I mean just throwing ideas out there cause I really want to go back to Kalos eventually (it feels so empty to me ugh) but probably won’t happen in these games.

  27. So while playing Black on my new 3ds my pinkie accidentally hit the power button. Now I get to train my emolga up 7 more levels ^.^ I’m so happy.

    • or what about…. BOTH

      No, jk… Honestly, I can’t decide. I think that the Frontier is a little harder, but PWT is more fun.

      Reply
    • I want frontier because I like the environment there. It seems like a fun place to be, and I like that there is an area designed to be tough.

      Reply
    • Yeah, saw that in the theory…. I think if you look at the tackle slot it’s bigger because of the effective sign on the right… I think it’s only 4…

      Reply
    • The thing is, tho, that the selection screen from where you picked a move only fits 4 (can’t find the one that is shown with dazzling gleam, but imagine it there) (refresh if you can’t see it)

      Reply
      • Ugh I’m sorry but that bottom screen is just horrible! why not just make it four giant squares like before? It just makes useless space I hate it so much

        Reply
          • I hope so, because Kanto doesn’t need homages like this when there is obviously a better option. What’s next make a homage to the nothing post game?

          • Oh boy…. Hopefully not XD.

            I honestly think we are in store for a HUGE post game. I mean, why would they make these quick games. These are the 20th anniversary games! They have to be epic!

          • I have an idea. For the 20th anniversary, let’s implement these features in sun and moon as an homage to first gen!
            – Undo the physical special split
            – Glitches everywhere! Yay!
            – Take away the fairy, dark, and steel types
            – Make psychic and dragon broken in the meta game again
            – Make leech seed broken again because it stacks with toxic

        • I dunno why, but I really like it. The four square thing was getting a bit stale, imo, since it’s been done for the past couple generations. And I don’t mind the empty space, I hate things being cluttered and having a lot going on.
          Who knows, maybe it could be customizable.

  34. Yo I’m actually legit excited for GO now. With them confirming all pokemon eventually, I think I’ll really enjoy the game. Plus trading will be implemented later after launch! And launch is only 2-3 weeks away!!!

    Reply
    • Trading is such a big part of GO for me because I am only trying to catch in this game, not battle. It should be implemented for launch.

      Reply
      • I understand, but I think the reason they aren’t implementing trading is because they want Pokemon to only be obtainable if you catch them yourself… So that way, you actually do the work XD

        Reply
        • Maybe they’ll have only local trading… That’s at least what I think. But imagine if you live in California, and you want to get a Mamoswine or a Cryoganal (when they update it with all pokemon) then all you have to do is trade.

  35. I’m confused with Magearna’s design. Supposedly it was created many many years ago, and it is designed to look like a pokeball. I know the anime is not canon, but in Pokemon 4ever, it shows that that specific pokeball design is a recent creation, because young oak has different pokeballs.

    Reply
    • You’re supposed to be
      The whole Pokeball time line is in shambles
      The giant stone Pokeballs
      The capsule one Sam Oak used
      The Apricorn stuff

      Honestly don’t get hung up on the canonical representation that this “Fancy Magearna” presents, tis a fight you’ll surely lose

      Reply
    • perhaps modern day poke balls were based on Magearna’s design, and they didn’t decide to use it until recent years looking back on it in history and being like, thats sweet lets use that.
