I'd say that's pretty bad. If you're out and about trying to play this for a little while you might be shit out of luck battery wise.

I can see the videogame news sites reporting "some users are banned from pokemon go because ethey can't do anything" and making everything explode... even thou it's just a server issue because people who shouldn't be downloading are doing through apk files and not the google store...
unless i'm mistaken, no official announcement nor "you are banned" message has appeared, only people freaking out.
oh well...

Custom rom yo. There are great ones fot the s3
I think they're trying to balance remote areas by giving them more wild Pokemon.
Didn't see a single Pokemon all of last night in my city apartment. Walked to the 4 Pokestops within a block of my place, still nothing. Incense got me 3.
My office in the middle of nowhere, though? Constant buzzes, easily 2 per hour, sometimes 3-4. I'm not even moving.
Already caught like 5 Venonat, a Seaking, and an Eevee. Maybe it's because I'm wedged between a lake and a forest?

Can't wait until this goes live on iOS, though I'm afraid it'll disappoint like Ingress did.
Also, I forgot that Android floods your top notification bar with icons, whenever you have notifications.
I've gotten mad lucky!
I walked for 10 minutes and didn't get anything so I used a spray and got all the little Pokémon from the first few episodes of the show (lol) and Kadabra. Still Lvl 3.

My haul so far is an oddish, pidgeotto, pidgey, bulbasaur, and venonat.
How did you find them? I cant even get into wild pokemon battles, nobody seems to want to answer me

I noticed this tip on their support page
"Tip: Drag and rapidly spin the Poké Ball in a circular motion before you release it for a chance to receive a curveball bonus."
anyone had success with this?

So does this game just not have a single functioning background notification? Do I literally need to leave the game running and open to get any alerts for nearby Pokémon, or am I just missing something?
EDIT:
It's pretty tricky to aim at first but I've gotten pretty good at it after about twenty or so encounters. No idea what it does though; maybe higher catch rates?

That's what the Pokémon Go Plus is for!

Can anyone check if Android Wear smartwatches work as a Pokemon Go Plus alternative?
A $35 physical addon to add in basic, rudimentary smartphone functionality is pretty disgusting. The fact that I'm even contemplating buying that stupid thing is upsetting.
Also wondering about this. It'd be deliciously ironic if that addon required the game to be active to work.
You're missing the $35 physical add-on.
Has there been any indication that the app doesn't have to be open and running in your pocket for that to function?

I hope it doesn't run poorly on my second gen Moto G then! But second gen isn't a huge step up from first gen.
I wonder.. Are wild pokemon shared between users? I mean, the same ones appear on map, and if someone catches it, it disappears from others' games?
If yes, then it makes sense to remote areas to have more wild pokemon around

I have so many questions.
This is typical for smartphone games. They'll do soft launches in regions like NZ and AU so they can test the same localizations and perform stress tests.
Probably Nintendo HQ
