It's not as cheap as it was for pickup at EB Games, but as EB Games is completely sold out, this is your only option.

It DOES track your steps when Pokemon Go is in the background/your phone is locked (source). Therefore, you CAN hatch eggs and earn candy from your buddy Pokemon while your phone is locked.

        Well… sorta. hide it under your sleeve and you dont need to hold your phone like a zombie to just get KM's.
        IMO this actually has MORE value for the casual player than the diehard.

        Though IF you can wait for stock, they're $49 in store. But very pre-ordered-out.

        What I've learnt from my free Fitbit Uni course (courtesy of Ozbargain), is that the more people we can get out exercising, the better it will be for our country and the health system. So don't knock it if people want to pay for another fitness tracker.

          There's not that much exercise involved in camping at pokestops and spinning imaginary disks dude. Nor in driving slowly while looking at your phone as I've seen so many do.

          @slipperypete: Actually I'm pretty fit/healthy. Ride ~55km on my bike and run ~20km a week. But my dogs love Pokemon Go because it means I also get out a lot more taking them for walks. Also I don't think I'm sad or pathetic haha

        • Popo on 16/09/2016 - 17:49
          +5

          You'll get those who sit around but they'll eventually have to get up to go pick up more pokeballs.
          As for those driving and playing, we have people who drink and drive.

          So don't let the few cloud your judgement. I see no need for people to diss it as much as they do… we have bozos shouting obscenities as they drive by because you are looking at your phone and not bothering anyone or doing anything to offend them; 2 occurences to me and my kids. Really?? Where did this hate come from?

          I'm proud to say I've done >28k steps yesterday. My average was 2-3k daily even after I got my Fitbit. Nowhere near enough. It had dropped off only a month after doing the course (I got a HD btw!). My monthly average results has at least tripled since July.

          I get to chat more with my kids (and strangers in the neighbourhood). Kids are willing to go out at any chance whereas before there was so much moaning when we needed to go grocery shopping, etc.

          I also see alot of other parents with their children out and about too. That knowing nod; we know its good.

          @em:
          Em that's great. However I keep hearing excuses about how good pokemon is because it gets kids outside. I understand that it is people of all types ages and sizes that play this game but to advertise it as a way to get kids out and be healthy is sub standard. My reply was to this….

          “What I've learnt from my free Fitbit Uni course (courtesy of Ozbargain), is that the more people we can get out exercising, the better it will be for our country and the health system. So don't knock it if people want to pay for another fitness tracker.”

          As I said, this isn't a reflection on the game, it's more towards the people that this is aimed at.

          Actually your dog statement was cool..however again why does it take an electronic device which we keep our heads down glued to the screen to be outdoors. You have shown a useful causality of the game…at least your dog gets more walks in!

          And as for sad and pathetic..it isn't the people it's the pathetic excuses. "Pokemon is good because my kid no longer sits indoors on his computer or watching videos..he now goes outside and stares at his phone and that has to be a good thing"

      You know whats funny, it was so widely adopted, I legitimately had 3 dates with some pretty nice women who I got chatting to because we were the only people at a secluded pokestop that was oddly lured.

      At first I chuckled at the 'luck' of it all… then it happened twice more.

      You soon realise the people out there socializing, REGARDLESS of what you're doing to be social, have a way better hit-rate, than the "Jock" who thinks its lame and is sitting on his couch with his beer.

      I'm sure a lot wont believe me, but, hey, I don't need ya to, I had a good time :P

        secluded pokestop that was oddly lured

        At least it wasn't thugs.

        Lure patches seem work in such a way that the number of people present is inversely proportional to the amount of conversation going on.

        • MasterScythe on 16/09/2016 - 13:48

          It was in a CBD residential suburb, so my assumption is someone in the house nearby did it; they'd have easily been in range.
          Looking back, I laughed at it; it would have literally been a lone man standing under a street light, with darkness around him.
          very "strangers meeting in the dark" scenario…. perfect mix of creepy and romantic :P

          But yes, the risk is always there.
          worth it :P

        I can understand that…especially for the more shy who have limited social lives. Never really thought of that. But then again anyone stands a better chance than a 'jock' drinking beer on a couch!!!

        Gotta admit though, there are better places to meet girls with more in common….it just involves anywhere outside of pubs and clubs but if you get a poke through pokemon then well done!!

  • virtualds on 16/09/2016 - 09:52

          It does. As per the link I posted in the description,

          Correction (14/9/2016): Even while Pokémon GO is operating in the background, distance walked is applied towards hatching eggs and Candy earned for Buddy Pokémon.

        • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2016 - 11:18

          Where have you been? It does track your distance.

        • butterbuts on 16/09/2016 - 12:26

          Wow. I made a comment saying there was no tracking based on my info from earlier in the week and this was before any of the comments here saying there was tracking while the app was idle.

        • butterbuts on 16/09/2016 - 12:27

          @Orpheus:

          At the start of the week, everywhere had that it did not track your distance while Pokemon GO was in the background. Clearly this was incorrect and since it has come out, it does indeed track distance with the app idle in the background.

  • mooreshady on 16/09/2016 - 10:00

    The only dealbreaker is that it does not hatch eggs……..and now the buddy pokemon :(

    • Agret on 16/09/2016 - 10:04

      Doesn't hatch eggs, wtf? I thought the entire purpose of this was that it tracked your kms while the game wasn't open so you can hatch eggs while walking around.

          The map will work anywhere. It only looks like its working better in the CBD is because a lot more people are searching the same area, and the website caches all the results. Whereas in the suburbs, the chances are you are the only one searching, so you only get results from the one small area that you searched.

          We're on the brink of breaking up. We no longer hold hands anymore going out, because he needs both hands to catch them all. I play too, but not that excessive. Conversation revolves around pokemon and battling gyms. He would be still out past midnight to get coins. I get ignored and forgotten when he's out gym raiding with random people on the internet.

        • dickiee on 16/09/2016 - 16:49

          @Omitsuki: My girlfriends in to it more than me. I'm in to my fitness so this will be good when she asks me to take her phone to hatch eggs on my run :-) I cycle to work as well so this will be a safer alternative then pulling my phone out of my pocket to catch another weedle :).

    I reckon They did something like get 10,000 units in. Only make 2000 available initially. Created hype.

    They then say 'We have additional stock just come in' (even though they've had it the entire time) and then everyone scampers to get one thinking there's not much stock but there is actually plenty.
