Is there a good website for new players with a good FAQ? I just downloaded the game and don't understand some of the mechanics.

Level 22 now, been going pretty hard the last few days. 23-24 is likely where I level off and stay for a while, working on improving my collection of Pokemon rather than focusing on leveling up.

Same boat as you - also level 22, but the next xp steps are so huge that it seems like a plateau to me.

I must say - knowing where the "nests" are from the Google map locator is actually very fun. I went over to Shouldice to get Pikachu, and it actually makes you use your tracker to get what you came for (walked around for a solid hour before I found one). Found a Magmar by Telus Spark the same way.

I'm just going to keep searching for the missing ones as best I can now.

Now, a new wave of PC-based Pokémon Go "bots" take the hacking a step further, spoofing locations and automating actions to essentially play the game for you while you sit in the comfort of your own home.

There are a number of competing bots out there, from the open source Necrobot to the pre-compiled Pokébuddy to MyGoBot, which recently started charging $4.99 for its automation tool following a three-hour free trial. All of them work on the same basic principles, sending artificial data to the Pokémon Go servers to simulate an extremely efficient, entirely tireless player.

The user first provides a latitude and longitude as a starting point (the center of any major city is a good place to start) and some Pokémon Go account credentials to authenticate with the servers. The bot then finds any nearby Pokémon (using those previously discussed mapping functions) and simulates a "walk" to the nearest one by sending spoofed GPS coordinates to the server at appropriate intervals. When the bot gets close enough to a Pokémon, it can use a simple API call to quickly catch it before moving on to the next target.
Awesome! Can now play without leaving the house! BOOM!

Can we put spoilers around nest locations obtained via the Internet. If everyone thinks I'm an idiot for suggesting this carry on but I prefer the random discovery of the game.

How high CP? Like how far to the right is the needle? And how many candy? I got one too with 10k egg but almost maxed out and 20 candies. Will soon evolve her into a beauty.
Most you catch in the wild are not good ones.

Yes. I caught one over there too. There's a construction site with a gym (ball park? idk) and it popped up just east of it on the river pathway. Probably not a 24/7 spawn so it might take some exploring. Hope that helps!

There's actually quite a bit of positivity from that.

The best rolls in the game tend to come from egg hatches.

That eveee has a chance to be a top tier character once it is evolved.

Check this out to see what I mean. Plug the stats in of the pokemon you want to evaluate and see what the % chance of reaching top potential is.

Also - it really will help to determine where to best spend your dust to optimize your lineup.

For example, I was about to level a squirtle to a wartortle. But my roll is only a 33%, so I need to find a better one to evolve.

The pickachu I hatched though? 97% roll, pretty well damn perfect.

Agreed. My only other 10K egg hatched out to a now maxed out Lapras whom I am enjoying much.

After complaining about my lack of 10km eggs I got my second one, so I'm pretty sure complaining about it on the internet helps
