Tips to be invincible Pokemon Go Gym master

Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2016 with No comments

Thursday, August 18, 2016

Wanna be the best gym trainer…? Wanna own gym for more time…? Here are some Tips to be invincible Pokemon Go Gym master.

  1. Know which pokémon are better at attacking: If you want to attack, use pokémon like Snorlax, Dragonite, Lapras, Vaporeon (even after the patch), Arcanine, and Exeggutor.
  2. Choose a gym with low foot traffic: Some gyms are constantly under attack and switching hands every five minutes. Go for less busy gyms that will let you attack and leave defenders in peace.
  3. Choose and Organize your pokémon before a battle: Set the attack order of your pokémon from lowest CP to highest CP. You don’t want to burn out your strongest pokémon right off the bat. Also, take into effect each of their typings so each one of your pokémon will be effective at some point in the battle.
  4. Attack with friends: Pokémon Go is made to be played with friends and other trainers you might find out and about. If a gym is too tough, try attacking it simultaneously with someone on the same team.
  5. Leave your best defender behind: The best defenders to place in an empty gym usually have the most health, so they can last longer against attackers. The best defenders are Lapras, Poliwrath, Dragonite, Snorlax, Exeggutor, and Slowbro in that order.
  6. Keep your best defender out of the battle: When you clear out a gym, you have to stick a pokémon in there quickly or someone else will. That’s why it’s best to keep your defender out of your battles and at full health. A defender has to have full health to get placed, and the time it takes to heal a pokémon is just long enough for someone else to swoop in and steal your victory.
  7. After you’ve secured the gym, you can hang out for a while and level up its prestige so other teammates can place their pokémon in there as well. Now you’re ready to get out there and rep your team with pride.That’s all for today.Stick with us for all latest news of pokemon go and other anime seasons too.Like our facebook page, and if you are a youtuber or some fan looking for a platform for marketing…

5 Games That Should Be Made Like Pokemon GO!

Posted on with No comments
Now I’m not going to list these as a top 5 because all of these games are worthy of a make and since none of them are real we cannot list them on which will be a better game, however I know you will enjoy this list as much as I enjoyed making it! Please note this is strictly based upon Opinion.

Harry Potter GO

Imagine being able to go around the world to different magic schools and fight other wizards and be in different wizard games like the saga. I think Harry Potter GO could possibly be one of the nerdiest yet coolest games to touch the app stores.


Fallout GO

Now searching the wasteland for weapons, valuable items and fighting death claws on a mobile device would be F***KING AMAZING. Just Imagine playing a game similar to Pokemon go and Fallout 3/4/New Vegas. This game would absolutely smash every game in the competition besides the original GO, Pokemon GO. If they did it, they could animate what’s around you to be seen as the game originally looks on the console, allowing you to experience the full Fallout Experience on your mobile device! God, I wish I had a Nuka Cola right now…


Monster Hunter GO

Now this game I’m fairly new to, however with the concept of this game is mainly hunting monsters for items in order to make weapons or increase a weapons strength, or simply finding items to make Armor. This game would be another great addition to the GO. If you’ve ever played Monster Hunter, imagining it as a GO game with the scenarios would be crazy .. Walking around your city as it’s turned into a dinosaur monster like place on your mobile device. Mind boggling.

Runescape GO

Those of you who played the Original Runescape 2 Servers would be pretty stoked to see this game on this list, now if you’re an MMORPG fan seeing a game like RuneScape being made into a GO game would be mind boggling, literally brain melting. Runescape is still one of the largest MMORPG games in the world with a new RS3 feature that in my opinion is really crappy, however they have added an Old School Server for the veterans that is still amazing. However Training a character and fighting other players and taking their loot on RSGO would be a dope concept as you have to battle monsters to train and spend hours killing them in order to get valuable items to PK. How they would could do it is make the whole world a PvP area and make Stops the Grand Exchange. Weird, cool and out of the box idea but hey why not RuneScape GO! lol


Jade Empire GO

Jade Empire is a forgotten hidden gem from over 10 years ago made by a company that only works on remaking the same crappy games over and over again ( BioWare ) However with Jade Empire it’s just a fairly weird Idea for a GO game. The game is an RPG that literally requires you to travel through Ancient Japan allowing you to experience some amazing sides Japan and the after life. However the way Jade Empire Go could be made is by traveling the world that could be rendered into an Ancient Japan like Scenarios and change to match certain missions you’re on. In search of items, bad people, good people and battle other JE monks and evil doers and also accepting missions from other towns and markets. Which these towns and markets could be made like Poke Stops. It’s a weird concept but if you read up to here I’d have to say I solely put this game here to get the name of Jade Empire out there because I really would love to see this game have a Sequel after 10 years!

Pokemon Go’s Slamming Update

Posted on with No comments
After all the criticism Niantic got, they shut all the haters with this Pokemon Go’s slamming update.They listed these update on their official facebook page.

All this update but my favorite update is tracker update………YES TRACKER IS BETTER NOW…!! The “Nearby” tracking system in Pokemon Go the one that’s supposed to let you actually figure out where Pokemon are hiding without walking aimlessly it has been broken since day two or three after launch.It went from kinda working with a functional-if-confusing “footprint” system, to not working at all to just being totally removed.
Here our YouTuber friend Alex Leavitt tested this new tracker i.e. “Nearby” feature.
This new Nearby drawer now has two sections: Nearby and Sightings. Nearby pokemon’s are the one who are close to any Pokestops, and if you tap on it it’ll show you the overhead view of that respective Pokestop and Sighting tab is shows you the Pokemons which are not nearby a Pokestop and can appear in wild…!! and guess what if you tap on this………..baaaaaaaaam it does nothing xD
“But wait,I updated the app, and I don’t see any ‘Nearby’ section! please help me…”
Yeah, that’s the catch it’s only been rolled out to that to “subset” of users. For now that seems to largely mean people in San Francisco, though some players in other major cities also report seeing it. Most people outside of a few major cities just see the “Sightings” section, even if they’ve got Pokestops nearby them.
The thing is Niantic specifically notes that this system is just a test. It could very well change drastically before most people get it. Hopefully they figure out some system that also helps rural players who don’t have many Pokestops to begin with, and also the roll out other major updates too.That’s all for today.Stick with us for all latest news of pokemon go and other anime seasons too.Like our facebook page, and if you are a youtuber or some fan looking for a platform for marketing….feel free to contact us at team@otakukart.com or marketing@otakukart.com will get to you in no time and have a discussion over.

Pokemon Go’s Biggest Move

Posted on with No comments

Till now Pokemon Go is almost available world wide, making it more vulnerable and easy to exploit.Keeping this all stuff in mind Niantic the producer company Pokemon Go made its biggest move.
This news recently gained buzz around the internet that, Niantic the main company behind the biggest game of era Pokemon Go is issuing bans to players who violate its terms of service. Though terms of service violations vary, these bans appear to be directed at cheaters who rely on GPS spoofing, bots, and other software techniques that allow Pokemon Go to be played beyond the realm of its design parameters. For example, GPS spoofing lets you trick a smartphone into thinking you’re located in a different country, allowing you to catch pokemon located at that region that may be more easily located in that area or restricted to certain place. Bots, on the other hand, let you automate portions of the game.

In a note posted to its website this week, Niantic outlines violations of its TOS(terms of services) that can result in a permanent ban. The company says. “Our goal is to provide a fair, fun and legitimate game experience for everyone. We will continue to work with all of you to improve the quality of the gameplay, including ongoing optimization and fine tuning of our anti-cheat system.”
It’s still unclear how Pokemon Go developers are planning to detect the use of GPS spoofing, emulators, bots, and other hacks. A number of threads on Reddit’s Pokemon Go developer community, where much of the discussion around these techniques takes place, have popped up in the last two days. It seems users cannot seem to lock down what exactly results in a ban and how Niantic’s internal systems may be seeking out cheating behavior.
So being a legit and hardworking player will pay off a good price, and using spoof application and fake apps will not only result in a soft ban but to a permanent ban . That’s all for today.Stick with us for all latest news of pokemon go and other anime seasons too.Like ourfacebook page, and if you are a youtuber or some fan looking for a platform for marketing….feel free to contact us at team@otakukart.com or marketing@otakukart.com will get to you in no time and have a discussion over.

Someone Found A Ditto, And What Happened Next Was Pretty Sad – Pokemon Go

Posted on with No comments
Legendary Pokemon are currently unavailable in Pokemon Go, but one legendary trainer has modified the game to make one other hidden Pokemon turn up.

Ditto is a shape-shifting Pokemon, capable of copying an opponent’s Pokemon and also its move . It’s also currently the only non-legendary Pokemon unavailable in the game(including only 1st gen Pokemons) hence it joins the league of legendary Pokemons like Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo and Mew.

Why Ditto is so special is still unclear, apart of its exclusive transformation ability. But there is a way to make it turn up Ditto in the game. For those tired of waiting to hear official news from Nintendo, this is a way to get a sneak peek of you favorite shapeshifter buddy.

The legendary trainer FrozenAquaCat uploaded a video of his game and describing a bit of his tinker work in the video description. Weedle, a bug-type Pokemon, has a Pokedex number of 13. Incidentally, this coincides with his encounter ID, which is what the game client uses to tell your device which Pokemon you just discovered.
The amazing trainer might realize that Ditto’s Pokedex number, and his encounter ID, just so happens to be 132. By modifying the Pokemon Go client, FrozenAquaCat was able to add the missing 2 to the ID, causing his next encounter with a Weedle to result in Ditto taking its place. Using the programming language Python, he was able to forcibly inject his code into the game using a technique that makes it playable on PC.
Unfortunately, the game crashes if he attempts to throw a Pokeball at the Ditto, but we’re one step closer to making capturing Ditto a reality. Until then, we’ll just have to wait until someone figures out how to make Ditto appear officially .
So till someone figures it out and let you all know, lets just charge our power banks and mobiles and get our asses moving to find the rest of Pokemons….!
Until we meet next time…..Gotta catch em’ all.

TOP 10 OVERPOWERED POKEMON

Posted on with No comments

It’s time for me to discover and learn the secrets of the pokemon realm, and what better way to do that than to explore the 10 of the most overpowered pokémon in existense, according to scientists, professors and their pokédex.
Magcargo’s body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F. Water is vaporized on contact. If this Pokémon is caught in the rain, the raindrops instantly turn into steam, cloaking the area in a thick fog. (Sapphire)
Okay – the surface of the sun is approximately 10,000 degrees F. Which means (*adjusts tie*) MAGCARGO IS NEARLY TWICE AS HOT AS THE SUN. You know that Smashmouth song, “Might As Well Be Walkin’ On The Sun?” That’s more realistic than being anywhere near Magcargo, since this lava slug thing is literally ALMOST TWICE AS HOT AS THE FREAKIN SUN. SOL, THE CENTER OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, IS PRETTY DAMN CHILLY COMPARED TO THIS SINGLE INDIVIDUAL POKEMON.
Although, just to test it out, we should probably send the members of Smashmouth to confirm.
9. Metang
metang
(See Pokemon Stats)

It floats midair using magnetism. Its body is so tough, even a crash with a jet plane won’t leave a scratch. (FireRed) If a jet plane won’t leave a scratch after crashing into you, that’s coming very close to saying you’re completely invincible. But what’s more disturbing about this is that the entry indicates that jet planes hitting Metang and exploding is something that isn’t uncommon. And given that magnetism is a big part of its existence, it’s probably drawing those jet planes into it just because it can. Given jet planes typically fly at speeds of over 500 mph, weigh around 400,000 lbs., and have a fuel capacity of around 50,000 gallons, Metangs walking away without so much as a scratch is pretty horrifyingly powerful. So, ya know, maybe throw out something other than a big butterfly when fighting this thing.
8. Machamp
machamp
(See Pokemon Stats)

One arm alone can move mountains. Using all four arms, this Pokémon fires off awesome punches. (Yellow)
Its four ruggedly developed arms can launch a flurry of 1,000 punches in just two seconds. (FireRed)
Machamp is a strong-looking Pokemon – he’s got the bodybuilder physique, give or take a few arms; his natural pose is as if he wandered into an Arnold Schwarzenegger workout tape; and he’s confident in a speedo (which shows strength in self-confidence maybe?). But he’s so much stronger than his swole bod would suggest – each arm can move a mountain, meaning he could move four mountains at once (if they were all located really, really close together). And wait – each arm can launch 125 punches per second, meaning he could knock away 500 mountains per second (if they kept flying at him somehow). That’s impressive. REALLY impressive. Most Pokemon can’t punch a single mountain – let alone thousands per second. What’s even more impressive is that mountains still exist at all in the Pokemon world, since this had to have been tested at some point.
Alakazam’s brain continually grows, infinitely multiplying brain cells. This amazing brain gives this Pokémon an astoundingly high IQ of 5,000. It has a thorough memory of everything that has occurred in the world. (Sapphire)
Let’s break this one down a little:
Brain continually grows: Okay, no big deal – literally everyone’s brain is constantly growing and adding new brain cells. Nothing big here.
“Infinitely multiplaying brain cells”: Uh. Okay. ‘Infinitely’ is a strong word. ‘Infinitely multiplying’ is a really strong phrase, indicating that the brain cells are damn near infinite after a cycle or two. An infinite number of brain cells woud be, well, infinite. They would take up all known space, and then some. So let’s just assume this means “a whole bunch” and someone got carried away.
“IQ of 5,000”: The highest recorded IQ ever is 228. This knocks that out of the park by around 4,800 (which is a whole bunch). And given Pokemon probably shouldn’t be able to do well on a test designed by and for humans (you may remember that Pokemon have limited speech capabilities, essentially animal-slave versions of Hodor), it’s pretty crazy to imagine he has a higher IQ than the number of years Great Britain has existed.
“has a thorough memory of everything that has occurred in the world”: …damn. If this thing wasn’t so concerned with bending spoons all the time, they would probably rise up and take over the whole damn planet.
Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. This Pokémon will try to protect its Trainer even at the risk of its own life. (Sapphire)
Listen, Gardevoir – we all know you mean well, that you try to protect your trainer at all costs – but creating a black hole (even a small one) is a bad move. Ya see, black holes have a near infinite density, with gravity so powerful that not even light can escape its surface. They devour matter like its nothing. Maybe you shouldn’t just be creating them two feet above the ground. Just a suggestion before you end all life on Earth.
5. Entei
entei
(See Pokemon Stats)

Volcanoes erupt when it barks. Unable to restrain its extreme power, it races headlong around the land. (Gold)
Entei cannot speak any language other than Pokemon-ese (which, sadly, probably isn’t even understandable to fellow Pokemon, since each Pokemon can only say their respective name) – so let’s just assume any time it wants to vocalize anything, its a bark. That’s a lot of volcanoes erupting all the time – especially since its description isn’t limited to 1 volcano eruption per bark. If Entei ever hears a thunderstorm, it would probably drown the entire planet in lava. Well, at least exploding magma isn’t as hot as Macargoes.
4. Lugia
lugia
(See Pokemon Stats)

It sleeps in a deep-sea trench. If it flaps its wings, it is said to cause a 40-day storm. (Diamond)
Well, considering Lugia’s primarily way of getting around is “flying” – and the way it flies is by flapping its wings – Lugia’s causing years worth of storms pretty much every time it goes anywhere. The Pokemon world should be covered in an unceasing meteorological nightmare, all because one stupid legendary Pokemon can’t just sit still for its entire life.
3. Grimer
grimer
(See Pokemon Stats)
As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new Grimer emerge. This worsens the stench around it. (Gold)
Grimers are infinitely self-replicating – which would be pretty nightmarishly-powerful on its own (additionally Muk, Grimer’s evolved form, vomits up Grimers) – but, for some reason, this also makes it smell worse and worse. Eventually, it should have untold numbers of asexually-produced children (who, in turn, are leaving behind their own untold number of asexually-produced children) AND an infinitely horrible stench around it.
2. Arceus
arceus
(See Pokemon Stats)

It is described in mythology as the Pokémon that shaped the universe with its 1,000 arms. (Diamond)
Hey, this Pokemon here? Of the same genetic family as a psychic mime and a sentient bag of garbage? It’s basically (literally) GOD. Also, it somehow has 1,000 arms, none of which can be seen. Maybe it got rid of them because it’s GOD and doesn’t need 1,000 arms because it apparently can get along just fine shaping the entire universe with a couple legs.
1. Ditto
ditto
(See Pokemon Stats)

It can transform into anything. When it sleeps, it changes into a stone to avoid being attacked. (Gold)
It has the ability to reconstitute its entire cellular structure to transform into whatever it sees. (Diamond)
Ditto is everything. Not only can it transform into any Pokemon – it can transform into anything it wants, organic and non-organic things alike. Any Pokemon on this list? Ditto can become them. It can become whatever kind of Pokemon theyr’e weak against. It can become – theoretically – anything that exists. The moon, the Earth, Arceus, etc.
An organized army of Dittoes could take over the planet if they wanted – so could a lot of Pokemon, I guess. But the difference is that Dittoes could do it without anyone ever noticing. It could replace your family and your friends without you realizing it. Eventually, a Ditto could replace you. They could replace us all.
Unless…they already have.

Pokemon GO Best Attackers and Defenders

Posted on with No comments
Last week I submitted some preliminary analysis of the best pokemon for attack and defense in Pokemon Go (here for those interested:https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4rldov/pokemon_move_analysis/). Since then we’ve learned a fair amount more about pokemon rarity, move power, and some other game mechanics; so I’ve updated my code! Here are the results of my most recent analysis:

Best Attackers:

Best Defenders:


New to this analysis is some weighting to incorporate the fact that you’re more likely to chose a pokemon with type advantages over the defending pokemon, plus improvement in determining the best movesets based on the moves’ powers and number of bars on charge moves. I also included some weighting to increase the power of pokemon with higher CPs based on the list by/u/zehipp0(https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4se870/pokemon_cp_tier_list/).

Not yet included in the analysis is the speed of quick moves, which seems inconclusive at the moment.
If anyone wants a complete list of all 151 pokemon, I can provide it in the comments.
As a treat to those of you who have read this far, here are my lists of pokemon (including rarity, CP tier, and available moves) and moves (including power and number of charge bars):

11 Pokémon Go cheats that only expert players know about

Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2016 with No comments

Wednesday, August 17, 2016

The Pokemon Go addiction has gripped the world by its horns. Players have constantly been trying to level up by collecting various Pokemon in the game. Even the most addicted and dedicated player wouldn’t refuse to use any tips or tricks which will help them to level up quickly.

Today, we have compiled a list of eleven cheats which works on Pokemon Go. These cheats are totally safe to use unlike some others that are risky to use such as using a cheat to get unlimited Pokecoins.

Catching Pikachu at the start


Image: attackofthefanboy.com
There is a very simple way to catch Pikachu at the very beginning of the game. When you start the game for the first time, you have the option of picking from one of the three Pokemon starters: Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. You’ll have to ignore this original trio if you want to make Pikachu your first catch.
All you would need to do is keep walking past them until they disappear from your map. However, these Pokemon will pop-up once again once you get too far away from them. So, you’ll have to ignore them continuously four times, and in the fifth try they will be accompanied by a Pikachu.

Don’t ignore them if you keep getting the same Pokemon to show up


Image: www.dailydot.com
If you keep getting the same Pokemon over and over again, keep them. You can evolve them later when you level up your trainer. Pokemon Go players level up their trainers after acquiring enough XP required for their next level. The trainers with higher levels get to catch Pokemon with higher CP and HP.
On the other hand, evolving your duplicate Pokemon is another good option. It only costs a few candy to evolve common Pokemon like Rattata, Pidgey and Weedle, which in return gives you 500 XP. They can also be transferred to Professor Willow later which will earn another bonus candy.

Use trainer level to increase the help of Lucky Eggs and Incense




You generally earn 500 XP for evolving a Pokemon. The use of Lucky Eggs doubles up the XP for a half hour, which means you’ll receive 1000 XP for every Pokemon evolved during that time frame.
It is advisable that you keep the frequently found Pokemon for evolving while using Lucky Eggs. You can also use an Incense at the same time, as the 500 XP for catching a new Pokemon will double up because of the Lucky Eggs.

Don’t use Stardust until you reach level 12 or 15



In Pokemon Go, you are rewarded with Stardust quite frequently for catching Pokemon and hatching eggs. Stardust will help you later in increasing the power level of the top-level Pokemon. The Pokemon that you catch when at low trainer levels are ignored when the level increases, so, any usage of Stardust over them will just be a waste.

Throw a curve ball



You might have already noticed the curveball bonus a couple of times. The bonus appears just after scooping up a Pokemon. You can easily earn that curveball bonus by using a simple trick.
You can tap the Pokeball at the bottom of your screen, drag it forward, and swirl it in a circular manner while you are trying to catch a Pokemon. After you start swirling it around in a circular manner, the Pokeball will start spraying sparks and it will be that moment when you will need to throw the ball towards the Pokemon. This will need some practice until to start earning curveball bonuses more frequently.

Maximise your throw bonus


Image: techinsider.io
You might have noticed those green, yellow, or orange circles while trying to capture a Pokemon, and you might be wondering what they are all about. These rings are actually there for you to get the perfect timing while throwing the Pokeball to obtain throw bonuses. You will get more bonuses if you hit the center of the circle and even further if the circle is smaller. This is definitely an easy way to earn some XP by mastering the art of hitting the center of the smallest circle.

Get better Pokemon from Eggs


Image: attackofthefanboy.com
Eggs can be found at PokeStops, and they have the possibility of hatching rare Pokemon. Once you collect those eggs, they can be found after swiping left of the Pokemon sub menu.
Once you tap on any of those eggs, there will be an option to incubate them. After putting them in the incubator, you’ll need to walk while the game is open on your device for the eggs to hatch as Pokemon. There are 2 km, 5 km or 10 km eggs, and each of them will give you different Pokemon. The longer you have to walk to hatch the egg, the better chances of snagging a rare Pokemon.
Don’t be too discouraged if you don’t get a great Pokemon from an egg. You still get a decent amount of Stardust and Candy with each hatched egg.

Move to places where people gather to play the game


Image: www.technobuffalo.com
If you want to catch some amazing Pokemon, you can move over to a place that is populated with Pokemon Go players. The players typically put out lures that will attract various Pokemon. Try to group with other people while playing the game and select a region where there are numerous PokeStops around to get the best results.

Explore various areas and play at night


Image: www.easyreadernews.com
Pokemon Go requires a lot of moving around. Players need to move to different regions to capture different Pokemon. So, you’ll need to be a little adventurous if you want to succeed in catching them all. Try to venture around some unexplored areas; who knows if a rare Pokemon is waiting for you there.
Another good option is to play Pokemon Go at night. A lot of Pokemon have a chance of appearing only in the evening or at night. On the other hand, some other Pokemon only appear in geographically appropriate areas.

Evolve Eevee with this Easter Egg


Image: www.youtube.com
Eevee is a Pokemon who can evolve into three different Pokemon randomly. There is also an Easter egg buried in the game which was found out by Redditor smithnigel.
Here’s how he explains Eevee’s evolution trick:
“The Eevee Brothers from the original anime were named Rainer, Pyro, Sparky and they owned a Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon respectively. If you nickname your Eevee either Rainer, Pyro or Sparky, your Eevee will evolve into that desired Eeveelution!”
However, you will need to remember that this will only work on the first Eevee you name appropriately.

Win Gym battles every time

You can easily win any gym battle against an opponent using this simple dodge and attack technique. All you have to do is notice the yellow flash of your enemy, and then dodge their forthcoming attack immediately. After dodging their attack, hit the enemy Pokemon back by tapping at your own Pokemon.
You can use this use this method over and over again to defeat any enemy. However, if you face server problems this trick won’t be of much help for you.
