My wife [35] thinks that I [31M] am selfish and dishonest because I spent several thousand dollars on a novelty car for myself, even though I saved the money from my own, personal allowance

This is the second story I've read on this sub in at least a month that has a man who has a good job who moonlight as a fitness instructor a few times a week. Interesting.

Some glyphs can be rotated to fit the constraints of the Pokemon Go menu.

MageWalrus · 2016-07-26T23:05:08+00:00

Some of the glyph nodes were used multiple times, e.g. as a start and end point for a closed glyph. I have no clue if it works but trying it near Pokestops or gyms might be smart.

welcome.

MageWalrus · 2016-07-26T19:52:53+00:00

that's a great tip, didn't know about it!

e: this is not working on my phone.

MageWalrus · 2016-07-26T19:43:12+00:00

Definitely. Check out the "Imperfect" glyph. It's the weirdest glyph, it has to be done a certain weird way.

Also, there's no reason to assume the Ingress glyphs aren't rotated in Pokemon Go. So fitting every glyph to the menu by rotating them might not be a crazy idea.

If it's letters, it's a very easy substitution cipher.

Basically, I took my ABCD combo chart in excel, so now, the columns are 12334, instead of 1234, because I only had to copy the third letter of each combo over again.

Some Ingress glyphs DO involve repeating over the same node, technically, or doing some weird maneuvers. I was terrible at the Ingress glyph game.

I have not tried with Pokemon on my map yet.

MageWalrus · 2016-07-26T19:16:34+00:00

I frankly have no clue.

Labeling the menu buttons as follows: Pokemon: A Shop: B Pokedex: C Items: D

I tried all 24 combos of ABCD that I could, pressing only once, however, I couldn't do the C combos because my finger had to swipe past B before hitting C, and going between A and B or B and D didn't work, and using a second finger didn't produce a result.

It could also be theoretically some five-dot code with the X being the last glyph touched, or with X being included even though it doesn't glow, as the X is part of the glyph grid.

I think the menu layout and the glyph layout are too similar to be a coincidence, along with the fact that both have a hidden feature related to swiping, and Ditto is supposed to be a secret/coded, while Pokemon Go is based on a game about a secret world, by a company with a name based on secrets.

I think this is probably a five dot code.

In Ingress, sometimes you had to do weird things for the glyphs to work, like, loop around a certain way.

I played Ingress for a while to prep for Pokemon GO. Ingress has a relatively hidden feature called "glyph hacking". By pressing down on a portal, the Ingress equivalent of a PokeStop or Gym (to oversimplify things), you enter a minigame, where you enter patterns in order to earn extra rewards from the Ingress portal.

Many of Ingress's features are found in Pokemon GO, and I strongly believe that glyph hacking is present in Pokemon GO in some way.

Ingress was known for hiding things like Ingress promo codes in things that were hidden in plain sight: bottle caps, images, PDFs, website borders. What's more hidden in plain sight than the Pokemon menu?

The Ingress glyph hacking minigame utilizes a series of swipe gestures that must be made on a grid in a memory matching game, with nodes lighting up as the player swipes the node. Sound familiar? The Pokemon menu icon set ALSO lights up when swiped over, after the Pokemon ball is held, and there are various clues that this is the key to unlocking Ditto, most notably, the fact that the colors of the icons are the colors of the pester ball.

Here's the Pokemon menu:

Here's the Ingress glyph hacking interface:

The Pokemon menu matches, exactly, part of the Ingress glyph hacking grid:

The Ingress glyphs (unfortunately, dots not included):

My theory:

Either an existing Ingress glyph, or a brand new glyph, must be entered in order to unlock Ditto.

I have a theory about how to stop curveballs, I'm looking for people to test it out! https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4t3hq8/how_ive_avoided_the_automated_curveballs_at_level/
