I've never successfully connected to the servers after I finished work.
Steaming pile of shite.

Could it be to do with how you log in? Seen a few people complain about Pokevision being down because PTC servers are down but I'm able to log in and out using my google account.

ChappyHova why's that? I can't see how it would affect your experience of the game, it's no different froum using a guidebook for a game

Puts me off playing it if everyone is using Pokevision. its like the people who win the league on FM after using editor to give themselves a super squad, then brag about being the best team on the game after 4 years they're cunts, but doesnt stop me playing it anyway and still enjoying it the proper way. iv looked on pokevision a few times, but never seems to be anything worthwhile around and i definitely wouldnt jump in the car and rush into Southampton just to catch something, caught so many new things just walking through the park the other day when I was there anyway, no need to 'cheat' at it. squirtle i found earlier was whilst i was driving lol

I've never even heard of this Pokevision thing, what does it do exactly, just give you direct locations for Pokemon i'm guessing?

stick your address in and it gives u a 30 second update of whats around you and exactly where it is
most of them only stay on for 10-15 mins so you'd have to be quick as fuck

A guidebook would be saying go to parks for grass Pokemon or near water for water Pokemon, not telling you exactly where they are lol. Unless I've misunderstood what Pokevision is.
I was gonna use a similar example with FM but at least with FM they're only playing against themselves. I know Djed is just collecting the ones he wants but most people will be using it to take over gyms.
I haven't been to a gym yet so shows how little I play it anyway but puts me off even bothering at all if that's going on.
Reminds me of the dream team cheat/glitch in clubs on FIFA 09, people will do anything to be the best or to win. Takes the fun out of it for the people who want to play properly. Again I know Djed isn't trying to "win" I'm talking generally about who will be using it.

It gives you the relative location (it's certainly not accurate to the point) that a Pokemon has spawned in and the time it'll remain there. My enjoyment comes from having to get to it's location and actually catch it within the time allocated. There's still a massive element of chance and luck involved because you have to be in the right place and right time for the random spawns. Comparison to a guide book is because it tells you where to go. And ChappyHova it doesn't even give you an advantage in terms of taking over gyms either because it doesn't tell you and you have no idea of the strength of the Pokemon you'll catch. For example the Wartortle I got yesterday had a CP of less than 100, I caught a Jynx earlier just walking from my car to the shop and that was 500 odd and the gyms round here have 1000 Hypno's on which have been evolved from the thousands of Drowzee's that spawn here. In terms of finding a greater variety of Pokemon it gives you an advantage of course but in terms of progression in fighting and powering up it's not really that effective. Far less than actually buying Pokecoins to use. Genuinely don't care if people think it's cheating as I'm not playing the game competitively, just find it a laugh trying to get to each spawn location with enough time to catch what I'm after. Should try it sometime.

Comparison with a guide book sounds about right and to use a guide book is basically having your hand held.
