Pokemon Go #5: Team Valor masterrace

When Will Pokemon GO Release?
Pokemon GO will release in July 2016

As of July 8th 2016 Niantic has stated that 'while it fixes the server capacity, international rollout of the game to countries like the United Kingdom and the Netherlands is "paused until we're comfortable," Hanke said.' This also includes the Asia server.

Capturing Pokemon

How will starter Pokemon work?

When you open the app for the first time, you will be prompted to pick(catch) one of the classic starters (Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle)

Which Pokémon will be in the game?

Currently the first generation. Niantic has been teasing the other gens down the line.

Source: Multiple beta testers.

Will there be shiny Pokémon?

No one has found any, so we're assuming no

Will the game use my phone's camera to see Pokémon?

Yes, although this can be turned off to preserve battery.

Will Pokémon spawn inside of my house?

This is possible but unlikely. It depends on the area you live in.

How will legendaries work?

Legendaries will likely only be attainable at special events, similar to Ingress anomalies.

What are these purple things on the map?

Pokémon spawn zones.

Will we battle wild Pokémon to capture them or just throw a ball with a catch-rate?

You just throw a ball. With rarer or stronger Pokémon you'll have to be much more precise.

Will I have to go to X to find Y Pokémon?

To an extent, although region-based spawns aren't fully implemented yet.

Gyms and Battles

How will gyms work?

Gyms will be a collection of one faction's Pokémon, one from each player (maximum currently unknown), of which you will have to defeat all of in order to defeat the gym and claim for your faction. Any Pokemon put inside a gym will remain there until it is defeated.

What will battling players be like?

Battles are real time and done at the gyms. Each Pokémon has a normal attack and a special attack, as well as a dodge. Type advantages exist.

Can I fight with my friends?

Yes, if you enter the battle at the same time as them you can battle the enemy at the same time.

Will there be auto-battling?

All defense is automatic.

How will we heal our Pokémon?

Pokemon that succeed in defending gyms get healed to 100% automatically. Pokemon that get damaged in attacks must be repaired using Potions, which you get from Pokéstops.

Will there be cooldowns if our Pokemon faint?

No.

Can I train my Pokémon?

The short answer: You can boost their CP and HP using Stardust and Candies. Evolution takes Candies but more of them. Capturing/hatching any Pokemon gives you Candy and Stardust, while releasing them gives you Candy.

The long answer: HP is self-explanatory. CP describes the "combat power" of a Pokémon. When you hatch an egg/catch a Pokémon you earn a quantity of Stardust and a Candy of the corresponding species. In order to increase your CP, you need to use up some Stardust and a bit of candy while evolving takes no Stardust and a lot of candy. The maximum CP a Pokémon can attain is limited by both the trainer level and the Pokémon species. We don't have exact numbers, and we can't be sure that the numbers obtained from the beta version have stayed in release (or for that matter, that numbers in the initial release will be forever constant). Please refrain from asking exact numbers in the subreddit.

Can I start a gym and/or be a gym leader?

You can not start your own gyms, you must use one of the pre-spawned ones. The person with the most powerful Pokémon at the gym is automatically made the "leader", although all this means is that you battle their Pokémon last.

What teams/factions will there be?

Team Valor (red), Team Instinct (yellow), Team Mystic (blue). They currently have no differences bar colors.

Trade

Do we have to be near players to trade?

Yes. We recommend /r/TheSilphRoad.

Other

What is the blue aura around my Pokemon?

These are your most recent captures.

Is this game a clone of Ingress?

The two are similar in the sense that you go to real-world locations, however, they are both unique in their own ways.

Can I play without a data connection?

No. Strong internet connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G) are required to play the game.

Can I play while driving?

No, there's a speed limit. Also, don't drive and play.

What kind of data plan should I get for Pokémon Go?

If you're playing daily you want a minimum of 1.5GB/month. For more casual play, 1GB/month should be sustainable.

Can I play with only WiFi?

Yes, but you'll obviously be limited to the WiFi's range.

Will I be able to spoof my GPS signal?

No. This is against Niantic's ToS. If you know that someone is GPS spoofing report them to Niantic.

What are the Android system requirements?

Android devices must have Android 4.4 or higher. Android N Beta is not supported. Device must have a mobile data connection and a GPS receiver. Compass is recommended. Preferred resolution of 720x1280 pixels (Not optimized for tablet).

What are the iPhone system requirements?

iPhone 5 with iOS 8 or newer. A mobile data connection is required. iPod Touch and iPad are not recommended. Jailbroken devices are not supported.

Is this game Pay-to-Win?

In short, no. Microtransations provide convenience but not all game items can be obtained from the cash shop (potions, berries, eggs, etc).

How do I get Coins, Candy and Stardust?

Coins are obtained by collecting a "defense bonus" from the shop. 10 coins per gym that you have a Pokémon stationed at or can be purchased through the shop. Candy is obtained by capturing Pokémon, hatching Pokémon and transferring Pokémon to the Professor. Stardust is gathered by capturing Pokémon and collecting the "defense bonus"

What will the micro-transactions be?

Once a Pokémon is close, press the button on the Pokémon GO Plus to throw a Poké Ball. You'll only be able to throw a Poké Ball using Pokémon GO Plus if you've caught the Pokémon before. The Pokémon GO Plus will flash and vibrate to let you know if you were successful in catching the Pokémon.
