FAQ

All the most frequent questions:

* **"I registered as a tester but it says 'item not found' and I can't download the app"**

Google
 play can be slow sometimes, and doesn't grant you the access to the
beta until some time later. Retry in a few or 30~ minutes and it should
work. Otherwise try again hours later. Sorry for the trouble, but I
don't have control on how google play works. - Also make sure that
you're trying to download it from your device.

* **"Will you develop an iOs version?"**

Right
 now I don't have any experience with iOs (and it's also my first game
on android), and I'm still busy completing the game. Maybe in the
future, I can't say, sorry :/

* **"I downloaded the data pack, but it doesn't recognize it and keeps asking me to download one"**

Check
 that the pack is in the 'download' folder of the device. Some people
also said they had a 'downloads' (instead of download) folder and they
had to put it there. Not sure what were their devices. If you have
android 6 check the permissions, maybe the app doesn't have the access
to the storage to read the file.

* **"I can't get any gps signal"**

Location
 can be tracked in various ways, and most of the professional games use a
 hybrid system to involve them all. I'll see if I can get to that point
as well, but right now, the game works best when you're outside and you
can clearly see the sky above you. Tbh, I kinda like that: it's an
adventure right? Then you have to be outside. Even prof. Oak gets angry
when you try doing things indoors.

* **"The gym button is disabled, how do I challenge the gym?**"

You need a full team of 6, and all of them not tired and ready to battle.

* **"I got some badges, and the level of wild monsters has risen, but now it's difficult to level up my other low level monsters."**

Levels
 of wild monsters depends on gym badges, but also on the levels of your
team. Avoid taking with you your highest level monsters, and high level
opponents will stop appearing.

* **"One of my monsters can't win a fight no matter what, it's too frustrating!"**

Some
 monsters start with a very low power, and get better at some point on
their evolution line. In normal pokémon games their training is not
difficult: you send them out and then switch back to a better monster,
or you use exp share, and they get experience even if they did nothing
at all. I didn't want this game to be that simple and irrational. If a
monster is weak, you need more effort to train him: try making him fight
 with species he has an advantage with and aren't too strong. For
example, training a Tyrogue is a struggle, but they become better when
they evolve, so I made him confront some low level Geodude until he
evolved and grew out of his weakness.

* **"While I'm in a car or a train, sometimes I pass over the hidden items but the game doesn't pick them up"**

Fast
 travel can make you pass over items without getting them, because gps
doesn't get you in that precise moment you are near the item, but only
when it's too soon or too late, so it doesn't count. But I kinda like
it, it would be like picking up something on the street while driving in
 a car, pretty difficult. To be sure to get it you have to stop and go
by foot, like a real item. Realistic. I know you can't stop a train, but
 since it's a low-effort method to get items it also has a low
effectiveness.
