CapturePokemon - Browser based Pokemon capturing

[capturepokemon]

3 of them were me, none successful out of the 3...

Edit: checked journal it was 4

Can you give it another try now?

If it doesn't work, could you drop me a PM with your username please

It works perfectly
It's not complicated
No use the account a time and be 10 (approximately) minutes in the page
I'm using this various days to capture dratinis, magikarps and 100 iv pokemon [ I'm buy coins ( 5$)] and i have now a 100 iv gyarados,dragonite and vaporeon
Sorry for my bad english :/

I've just pushed out an update to allow for you to get alerts for only 100IV Pokemon.

It's available through the options icon along the top.

Both alert checkboxes must be selected for this to work.

Awesome update, going to try it again now

Edit: sounds don't work on mobile

5 pokémon ran away in a row, not even 1 succesful catch, what am I doing wrong?

This is actually by design, as the music and voice over is quite loud and intrusive. I could default sound to off on mobile, and enable it if you toggle.

There were a lot of issues today around a change that Niantic made, but these are now all resolved.

Please try again.

If you are still unable to catch, stay logged out of the app for a bit longer and then try again.

I'm looking at adding in the option to test if you're currently able to catch through the site, as the most common support request is that catches keep failing. I'll see if I can get it in today.

I would love to have that sound - maybe have a warning message that it's loud? Definitely would like to have it though


edit: You might want to add a message that usernames are case sensitive....

Sorry, I never noticed that usernames were case sensative. Tonight's release will remove that.

Awesome, Next issue/question:

when sniping pokemon on the site, where is the starting location? about a hour after stoppig using the site i changed to a bot, and had the travelling soft ban... no other interactions with that account since the website (which caught fine)

[capturepokemon]

Just pushed out the latest release:

- Catching / Auto catching text reduced, now just says what it does. Also made it look a bit prettier
- You can now scroll whilst a popup is open (UX improvement for Mobile)
- Usernames are no longer case sensative
- History panel no longer shows duplicate Pokemon if opened multiple times in a single session
- When the service is unavailable (for any reason), attempting to catch will now show a useful message rather than a blank red box.

The starting location is in the UK. I'd rather not disclose the exact location. Something that I'm almost done with is using geolocation from your browser to determine where you should start, in order to completely mitigate soft bans. I'm confident I can have that onto the live site tomorrow (it causes a bit of an intrusive browser alert).

[Chrisizzle]

That's fine altho are you saying it's going to use your laptops location? As that's not a good idea.... I live in one city but my accounts are NEVER here as its a awful place for Pokemon..
Maybe a promt asking for location coods at start of every session (if that's possible)?

hmm...

Seems to softban me everytime I try and use it. Failed to catch about 11 pokemon so far over the last four or five hours - even after I wait for the softban to expire and can play through the regular app (then wait at least 30 minutes before trying the website again)
