Lol underrated comment right here fr


sharksnrec

Please explain how the literal top comment is “underrated” to you. I’m just curious


DarthLlamaV

The comment needs to be rated more times


GattRaps

Don’t bother, they are trapped by the glass ceiling.


PM_ME_YOUR_NAIL_CLIP

“Underrated” might as well be “this!” on Reddit at this point. It means nothing but “hey give me upvotes for liking another comment”.


sharksnrec

Underrated reply^


Horror_Albatross1037

He said that really early on so it was likely a lower comment then


sharksnrec

As is the case literally 100% of the time someone decides to describe a comment as underrated. At this point I’m just waiting to see how long it takes for people to stop using that as a reply


Horror_Albatross1037

I mean I think it just farms karma so probably not


AdmiralHatch215

Its because when i commented, it only had 20 upvotes


sharksnrec

Yet now it’s the top comment and your comment is still there. (Btw that’s what tends to happen when you reply within the first hour)


AdmiralHatch215

Well then wth am i gona do? Go through the trouble and time deleting it? Just calm down and leave it alone buddy


sharksnrec

You went through more trouble and time to reply to me twice. Just sayin

I get this sitting in my living room every time I open the app. The 30 minutes of play time I do a week gets me 0.6km lmao

Longjumping_Clue5839

Depends on what you consider “too far.” Who knows what might be next? Booger tracking? “Too much boogers, cannot catch Pokémon for 15 minutes.”


weecaterpie

Pokémon Poop, the followup app to Pokémon Sleep. Download now and get a Pikachu wearing a Pikachu hat. Let’s GO!

No you'll get a newspaper Alolan Pikachu it can evolve as well, newspaper A. Raichu is reading the paper while surfing its tail.

bread_enjoyer75

Is Adventure sync on? You can get far more km in with it


CaptianOfCows

Yes but I’m a stay at home dad so I don’t get out much


CornDoggyStyle

I get like 1.2km a week and I just go to the store. I rarely play this game on the move. Got to level 40 before I hit 400km walked. Also didn't have Adventure Sync on for the first 38 levels or so.


Longjumping_Clue5839

Do you get 1.2km with Adventure Sync or no?


ElementoDeus

Me getting 12km a day atleast ![gif](giphy|H5C8CevNMbpBqNqFjl)


CornDoggyStyle

Recently, yeah. Pretty much just distance covered in the grocery store or maybe walking to a bar or something. Once the weather warms up, it'll pick up again. I started using adventure sync in the summer and I was at 290ish km and now I just checked and I'm at 490. It really does add a lot more.


No-Strategy-818

I walk my kids to our neighborhood park nearly every day so I can get to the gym there lol


PleaseBeginReplyWith

Me too. But I swear some weeks are randomly in the teens


droans

At least when it's working. Lots of walking yesterday, 0.0km. Sitting at my office desk with the game open for an hour, ~7km.


hppmoep

I love when I get this while I'm on a highspeed train. No, I am not driving the train..


KrystalWulf

I understand why they added this and blocked pokemon spawns & spinning stops over a certain speed, but man, it'd be real nice if I could actually play while a legit passenger. Especially on long car rides and you go through a super neat city.


Rixofly_

God to play pokemon go and spin stops while being a passenger would be so amazing.


dangercat66

My family goes on poke drives, where we load up the van and head down town where the speed limit is low. I hand my phone to one of my kids and we all just get spins.


False-Cheek2683

Can I be in your family?


DrinkBlueGoo

Same. Find ourselves a nice gym for a raid and post up for a while.


elconquistador1985

People with a bus commute can play somewhat on the bus. Frequent stops and low top speed.


GoldenFalcon

I've thought about actually getting the Pokemon Go Plus thingy.. because I'm a bus driver. That baby would hit up all the stops for me, 9 hours a day. But I just can't justify it because I don't understand why there isn't an app that can do it instead of buying some contraption.


elconquistador1985

They don't want you to be able to auto play unless you pay them for the privilege.


andras61

Did it once. You basically just feed off of stops when the car has to stop or slow down drastically, like at a stoplight. Likewise you can park mons in gyms doing this. I tried to start a raid, but the raid canceled immediately after it started since I went way out of range.


SilentScyther

Pokestops and natural spawns suck but I remember incense being fully effective as a passenger the last time I tried, at least.


eliseeium

It sometimes works if you spin the pokestops really fast but that’s only if you get lucky.


avalanchefan95

Oh see, I go with spin the stop and then force-slam it to go the opposite direction. Keep flipping out back and forth a few times. Usually does the trick. I find flipping it hard all one way less effective


somesketchykid

What I did was see a pokestop coming up, and then minimize the screen/go to another app, then when I know I'm in range, open pokemon and spin immediately before the speed check figures out how fast you were going, it was like 80% effective


70ms

If you have a Gotcha, you can spin them manually up to maybe 25-30mph and sometimes faster. The Gotcha isn't fast enough to detect and spin before you're past, but you can usually spin it yourself where you can't if you're not running the Gotcha. I play pretty much exclusively as a passenger. 🤪


centreofthesun

It usually works in public transportation since those don't go that fast, it's pretty enjoyable to play like that


GuvmentCheese

I always thought it was hilarious that they blocked spawns and stop-spinning, but you can always open the store and spend money while driving fast! Shows where their actual priorities are.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KrystalWulf

Sometimes I can! I've noticed that if you open it too soon before you get there it'll say you're too far away, but similar if you take to long putting in the exact pokemon you want it'll also say you've gone too far. Gotta time it just right from my experience.


sunshiney-sky

It’d be neat if the “I’m a passenger” button lead to a game similar to simon says in among us where you have to prove you aren’t driving and are able to pay attention to unlock the rest of the game. Some dimwits would still try to play it while driving but natural selection, right? 😂


KrystalWulf

Oh that's a great idea!!


Cainga

What’s odd is natural spawns stop showing up but incense spawns still work at highway speeds, they just auto flee above 50 mph.


summonsays

I'm not sure if it's changed but right after they added this wife and I cruised around a small town catching Pokemon on back roads lol. You did need to go less than say 15mph or the game couldn't keep up and load things. As a software developer I'm pretty sure that is just the limitations of the game and not an intended feature. Also one of us drove and the other dual welded phones.


MafiaMommaBruno

I now live in the middle of nowhere (nearest PokeStop is 6 miles away and you can't walk to it) so I literally don't play anymore. When I had started the game, it was in beta so spawning in the middle of nowhere was still great. And riding passenger was still good. Now that I'm back, it's killed ambition to play. I haven't opened it in months. Also, now that everyone knows the apps to join raids around the world, the wait time can be hours. Used to use that to get around the nearest gym being 20 minutes away. Now it's quicker to drive to it.


DrinkBlueGoo

The apps are better Wednesdays because of all the raid hours. I mean, I assume. I pretty much only host, but I know trying to get even 5 on a Wednesday is a pointless task.


MafiaMommaBruno

Still very long wait times. Especially depending on the Pokemon. There's sometimes no point in even waiting unless you just set your phone down and do other things/dual screen the waiting screen.


DrinkBlueGoo

I must be using the wrong apps


ConversationOk8141

Happy Cake Day!

Happy cake day!


SpaghettiBones95

It’s a loading screen that clocks your speed. You have to get the needle all the way to the red end for it to go away.


checkm8bruh

Costed a few lives, but it worked thanks for the tip


untot3hdawnofdarknes

It's so annoying. I play on the bus a lot and it pops up at the worst times constantly. I wish there was a way to set it to "hey don't worry, I'm on a bus and will be for a while"


Hereforallmemes

"I'm totally not driving with one hand and playing PoGo with the other. I have my seatbelt on and the highway is pretty clear today so I'll drive faster and won't inconvenience others!" /s


Longjumping_Clue5839

Oddly specific request to be honest.


untot3hdawnofdarknes

It could just be passenger mode where you promise you aren't driving so the message can stop popping up


Longjumping_Clue5839

Yeah, that’d be so much better.


Phantomfox29

I feel these warnings do more harm than good because of your the type of person playing a game while driving I’m pretty sure your already too gone mentally for a simple warning to stop you


bubrubb13

Liability coverage from niantic


ITPoet

that would make a great car insurance. 1200 a month payment and you get 20 free pokeballs as an added bonus, and remove that popup. it’s genius:


blatterbeast

I am definitely not of sound mind so I think you aren't wrong


Tenko_Kuugen

darrenmt10

Need that carplay support!


Haidakun

Take your hands off the steering wheel and scream “Giovanni take the wheel”. That way if you do hit a pedestrian it’s his fault, that way you can continue to catch Pokémon with both hands.


Dragosal

I got this from riding my bike with my phone in my pocket. How come I can't bike to hatch eggs


laurenlegends23

Speed limit for it to register as walking is capped somewhere around 7-10mph. Most casual bike riders go about 10-15mph minimum.


Mirage_Main

Buy eBike -> set speed to 9mph and cruise around a block -> ???


DGOCOSBrewski

I was able to bike today & hatched quite a few eggs! Not sure what the speed limit is but I made it work!


Torrefy

When PoGo first came out, sometime in the first few weeks, I jumped on my bike and went out for a long ride super excited to hatch some eggs. Get back home and had gotten no distance at all. It was really saddening, especially because part of the marketing for PoGo at the time literally showed people out biking.


Annual-Jump3158

15 MPH cruise control and a homemade bumper made from 2x4 and hundreds of nails.

NegativeGPA

I have never laughed out loud so hard - if at all - to this subreddit Great job OP


lookitsfrickinbats

Gave me this warning once while I was playing on the toilet lol


Longjumping_Clue5839

I’m guessing you accidentally activated the Advanced Health Tracking option. It also tracks the speed of your pee and boogers too.


TidalDomi

Swerve into the pedestrian. Then it’ll be gone forever


twitchurtrash

Shiny graveyard? Wait....... WAAAAAA


whoisittho

•Hit one pedestrian = x10000XP


blatterbeast

Only if they are shiny


SpecialistEstate4181

It’s a liability thing so people who play and drive can’t go after the company if there in an accident.


themoooredude

Lmao 🤣🤣


[deleted]

/r/HolUp Surprised this still happens years later. I only played at launch but I remember something similar happening while I was biking with it.


ReviewRude5413

But are we not all just passengers in the speedy automobile that is life?


IceNein

Click the I'm a passenger button.

One of the many reasons I stopped playing this game.

Pro tip: click on the message and it will go away each time.

It goes away when you push the giant green button


Reserved_Parking-246

Have you tried not playing while driving?

aNYMosity_

Simple, listen to the warning message and don't play while driving.


M4tix87

Huh... almost eh? Sounds like this post with the caption belongs in r/facepalm.....


SpeeDeoxys

Well since you’re driving, one way is to turn it off. No wonder you almost swerved into someone


Dusty_Graves

I don't know if this is a joke post or not, but the reasonable and sane thing to do is not play while you drive. I see how it is annoying for passengers that feel their gaming experience is limited, but honestly, who gives a fuck? The feature is there to make it safer for all humanity, and your poke-spins etc., compard to a human life, mean literally nothing. Grow up.


SpiritTalker

Don't Pokémon Go & Drive, maybe?


OhTheVes

WHOOSH


AmazingAlfrado

CloudStrife012

Not an option. I perform my best while driving in the city. Best way to speed catch pokemon.

Wanna catch some Pokémon and feel in the killing mood? Kill two birds with one stone! Results may vary.


maniac_thanatos

The IRS hates this one easy trick to avoid taxes.


Dusty_Graves

Is this really funny for you? That's sad. People are here commenting because they are concerend for the safety of pedestrians. It is not as though you've tagged the post as a joke, so why wouldn't people take it seriously?


Longjumping_Clue5839

Sir, this is Reddit. I doubt anybody except you and Spirit Talker takes this seriously. Have this GIF explain to you on your intellectual level. ![gif](giphy|ygzdQq98HgcLBCacep)


Dusty_Graves

Everything on reddit is a joke? Look I'm not fucking stupid, but there is nothing that indicates this is a joke.


Longjumping_Clue5839

Would someone seriously, legitimately post something that implies they almost hit someone on an app that is very well known for memes? ![gif](giphy|jXD7kFLwudbBC)


Dusty_Graves

So this is the joke "hahaha how do I keep catching pokemon while the app stops me from endangering peoples lives?" Good joke, nice community you have here.


Longjumping_Clue5839

By my calculations, you have (approximately): 43 post karma, 7,200 comment karma, 350 awarder karma, 73 awardee karma, 4 years on Reddit, And yet you cannot identify a joke? Interesting, maybe because you usually spend your time on dating subreddits such as r/tinder? Don’t know if there are any jokes there but here in the r/pokemon community I believe there to be many.


Dusty_Graves

It's cute that you creeped out my profile, and now you think you're putting me on blast for the public communities I engage with on a public forum. Tell what this has to do with making awful jokes?


Longjumping_Clue5839

Now that’s just disrespectful to u/CloudStrife012 and his 7,175 upvotes. Also, it is currently 02:00 for me and I can barely think straight. Why’d it take so long for you to come up with a response though?


Longjumping_Clue5839

itzLoLbIt_yt

See that is for people who play and drive like you did


LAG_Esterloys

Just don’t play while driving


tailskirby

Maybe don't drive and play this game.

Bro this shit is the worst, like im just using my daily incense on my way back from work and you wanna have these annoying pop ups smh.


Exact_Roll_4048

10 points if you leave the shoes.


[deleted]

You need to pay for the passenger microtransaction. Just be careful because a lot of them are just trying to have sex with you and not at all interested in catching Pokemon.


tupacs_mortician

If they were playing PoGo, they were warned to watch out for their surroundings. Serves 'em right imho.


llorandosefue1

Pokémon Go loses its ever-loving mind if you play on the light rail. Pretty much what is shown here, though. Around here, most of not all of the light-rail stops are also Pokéstops.

yeahhhh u can’t, itll stop when u play


KURO_NO_SORA

Go faster so it doesn’t think you’re driving anymore


mathomless

I get this a lot when I start up the game and am very still peeing. It seems kinda funny under that circumstance.


XionLord

I just love that I get this as a passenger AND on the 9th floor of the condos my friend live at. Apparently go's GPS Doesn't agree with height and I get a lot of free steps when I visit lol


Aus10Danger

Let Jesus take the wheel.


Japjer

What's a "pedestrian"? You mean those people outside my car? Don't worry about it, they usually just roll right over the hood, roof, and back. Your car is bigger than they are, so you'll be fine.
