yeah the shiny chance is reportedly the same from normal karps. nothing super worthwhile, except guaranteed 66%+ lol
Hmm yeah, I have yet to find a shiny Karp.
Been in Japan for a while now and I have to say I am flabbergasted about the amount of people that play Pokémon GO here. Every raid, every gym, every corner there are people playing it. The game fully LIVES here. Age doesn't even matter, it literally ranges from 4 y/o to 60 y/o playing the game. Luckily we found ourselves a couple of Farfetch'd, so I'm very happy about that. Also caught a few legendaries in Tokyo :'D

And I thought downtown Wichita was prime real estate... with all the statues, murals, and historical buildings, I ended up with about 110 pokeballs after 4 days (not counting the ones I acquired and quickly used). Didn't manage to snag any eggs, though, which I was hoping to do after hatching three there.
Hmm, you on iOS?
Ehhh weird. It must have something to do with the new version, because this only started happening since yesterday.
You sure you don't have it? It's likst a few seconds of black screen right before the Niantic logo shows.

Really? They're implementing a pseudo-roaming mechanic for the Legendary Beasts? Oh, that should be fun, your continent waiting for its turn. At least it's for the entire continent and not specific locations (though why not have each one appear in a different continent instead of all the same)?
Now that makes me wonder what they'll do for other Legendaries with puzzle elements:
Titans (can we please settle on the name for these guys?) + Regigigas: You're alerted one is nearby and you have to do the actions the games have you do in the chamber to do the encounter. You have to walk zigzags to get Regirock, have to wait in one spot for two minutes for Regice, and walk in a circle a few times for Registeel. Than once you got all three you gotta encounter another Regice but just interacting with it will have it be a Regigigas.
Eon Duo: Half the players can only get Latios and half can only get Latias. In order to be able to encounter the other you'll need to battle the other from a Gym (or one-v-one battles if they ever introduce them). Your next Eon encounter will then be the other one, but after that it returns to being the one you default to.
Weather Trio: Can only catch Groudon on hot days, Kyogre AFTER rainy days, and after one of those days the next windy day will be a Rayquaza.
Deoxys (it was declassified as a Mythical): After a windy, rainy, or snowy day, the next nice night after the day it cleared will have Deoxys appear.
Lake Guardians: Only appear near PokeStops that represent their spirit: Uxie near libraries and museums, Mesprit near theaters and hospitals, and Azelf near monuments.
Creation Trio: Everyday Dialga & Palkia will randomly appear in random locations for one hour. The next day in a few of those spots a Giratina will appear.
Lunar Duo: Cresselia only catachable during full moon, Darkrai only during a new moon.
Heatran: During hot days may appear around a monument.
Swords of Justice: Eh, same as the Legendary Beasts. They don't really have a capturing gimmick.
Forces of Nature: Tornadus on a windy day, Thundurus AFTER a lightning storm, and after one of those days the next sunny day will be a Landorus.
Reshiram & Zekrom: Same thing as Eon Duo, though instead of only one encounter you switch over to encountering the other one all the time.
Kyurem: During Winter for a day AFTER a day of snowfall.
Xerneas & Yveltal: Xerneas during nice days in Spring & Summer, Yveltal during a windy day in Autumn & Winter.
Zygarde: After every Legendary encounter, there's a chance a Zygarde Cell or Core will appear. If its a Cell you just collect it like an item. If its a Core, depending on how many Cells you have can turn into 10% (if you have 10), 50% (if you have 50), or Complete (if you have 100). Note after each encounter you lose the Cells you collected. Maybe they could also introduce a way to change the ones you caught between forms via turning it back into a Core and giving it a number of Cells.
Guardian Deities: Eh, same as the Legendary Beasts. Only thing I can think of would involve Z-Move poses which I guess they can do with a camera, but nah.
Cosmog Line: Appears during cloudy days, some players more likely to find it during the day and others at night. What time of day you caught it will determine what it'll involve into: Solgaleo for daytime or Lunala for night. But that can be changed by having Cosmoem battle the other evolution, changing it to evolve into that one.
Necrozma: I say whatever they do for the Ultra Beasts would have Necrozma connected to that, like it may appear a day after in a location of an Ultra Beast encounter.

Good speculations, I'd love it if they would implement those concepts for the Regis (triggered? Pikachu315111) and the Cosmog Line.
But how would they ever do that?

I was joking, honestly with how Pokemon GO is they should just be released as events for Raid Battles. All the things I described are possible because of GPS and I think it does track weather, but as Codraroll said this is not a viable option. The Beasts probably is as complicated as they can get without seriously hindering some people. If they want to do anything complicated maybe they can do an AR Puzzle thing?
Does anyone have any tips on how to fix my game?
It loads up fine and I can walk around and stuff but every time I tap a Pokemon to go and catch it, the game freezes and closes down.
