The full statement:

"We recently discovered that the Pokémon Go account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user's Google account. However, Pokémon Go only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your user ID and e-mail address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected. Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google account information, in line with the data we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokémon Go or Niantic. Google will soon reduce Pokémon Go's permission to only the basic profile data that Pokémon Go needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves."

Once they became aware my ass... Somebody had to have written those terms & conditions... They knew. They were just hoping no one would care.


I think I'll hold off uninstalling it, but I certainly won't be logging in to play until after the update.

Considering the numbers of daily users people are definitely not giving a shit.

Glad im not the only one whos bothered by stuff like this lol I hate having notifications popped up everywhere. I always give my wife shit about it with her phone. Back on topic, im lucky enough to have a church right behind me thats a pokestop so its fairly easy to catch stuff on days with crappy weather. I have a good amount of high CP pokemon now and have spots on every gym on base. I cant wait for all the little bugs to get fixed though.

Its awesome to see so many people, young and old, hanging out and talking all sharing the same passion. Truly a game changed in the video game world and I cant wait to see how the app evolves.

I hope they stick with the original 151 for a long time. Screw anything after that.

They should implement events for limited time where you can catch 1 or 2 different generations of pokemon to freshen it up after a while

What team did you guys go with?

Team Instinct here.

Battle tips:
-Dodge attacks swiping left/right
-Tap to attack
-Hold for "Special Attack" once Special Attack Meter is full

It's crazy, I walked around a local park yesterday while my tires were getting changes on my daily & there were so many people playing. Like many said before people were very friendly, helping others out etc. Nice to see a game get people out & a little more socially active. The local park is even having a Pokemon Go gym battle contest since there are quite a few gyms there.

Thanks to the DoD, OPM, and PSN my information has been stolen a countless number of times. I tend to just not give a shit anymore.

And Apathy and complacency gets us nowhere. Seriously giving up on caring about having your personnel info/right to privacy stolen by gov or Corp entities will just lead us down the road to fascist state. Oh wait you I forgot we are all ready headed that way with Trump and his supporters.
Fuck man, either you stand up for shit or you wind up a decrepit old person in a Gulag.

Ya I know dramtic and possibly harsh but shit it's true unless we speak up about this shit it will only get worse not better. Fuck Google they are evil and Facebook is not far behind because Zuckerberg seriously lacks a moral compass.

Dons till foil hat. lol

It's actually really great when it happens! They always compensate with free credit protection/monitoring. The recent breach by OPM got me a cool 3 years.

You got breached by One Punch Man? And you're still alive?

[irax]

You are talking about a Non-issue. Niantic started out as a Google company. If they wanted all your google information it wouldn't be an issue. They make it clear that the requests for full access was incorrect and Google has verified that they haven't accessed any of the precious spam emails everyone gets. so...

Only on the 3rd Wednesday of every other month in leap year.

Yep. That's how I got my starter Pikachu. He appears the 4th time the starters repopulate.

Pretty much haven't done anything else after that.

Just like ash in the start of his journey. Missed out on the first 3 pokemon because he was up all night at EDC,l now he got stuck with stubborn pikachu lol


Highest level cp.... caught a venonat@129

And now Nintendo announces this!
http://m.ign.com/articles/2016/07/14...ew-nes-console

Between Pokemon Go, this NES release, and the NX and Zelda next spring Nintendo is going to have an incredible 12-24 months. Really kicking myself for not investing 6 months ago.

^^^Is.... there a pokemon hiding in this pic somewhere?

[Dutchmalmiss]

Probably a pokestop at that fire hydrant.

[Goofs]

Got into the 50s today

[greddy2die]

Nice, I'm at only at 38 different kind's caught. The lady works late tonight so i'll probably just take ride on the bike for a bit.

Just a tip save all your evolutions for when you pop a lucky egg and watch your xp bar soar.

[silverarrow27]

Started yesterday morning, have 27 Pokemons. Highest CP Pokemon is Parasect at CP218. Have an egg in the incubator currently. Level 6 and in Team Valor.

Also, drop a lure at a pokestop along with the lucky egg at the same time. Then catch the common guys and evolve them. Your XP will climb like crazy.


Also, damn it. I had Abra on my radar for a while last night but every time I thought I knew that area he was at it would get further away. I must have looked like a real big tard going back and forth throughout certain areas of the park yesterday.

If i catch a bunch of the same Pokémon is it a good idea to send the ones with the lowest CP to the professor?

yeah because when you transfer them to the professor you can the "candy" for that particular pokemon. You use that pokemon to power up or evolve them in the game. I.E. transfer bulbasaur's you build up bulbasaur candies
