do the rustling leaves even mean anything?
I found tons if not all pokemon without them and I noticed several times there is no pokemon around one of them
about the footprints: do people actually use them? do you walk into one direction if they don't decrease you go back and try another of 8 directions? does this really make sense? especially since they disappear after a few minutes
if you place a lure does it only attract pokemon from the near list?

Just hit level 5.
Go Team Mystic.
Go Team Mystic.
group up with teammates to defend, fortify it. its my favorite part
Yeah. Whats the incentive to own one if you're gonna lose it no matter how strong your pokemon is just because the attacker can keep going and whittle down the level to 1 and kill you with 6 pokemon as soon as you leave? It's only worth doing it for the coin then who cares for 21 hours
That's why gyms must be strentghened and expanded by the owner team so you can put more Pokemons in it so the gym won't be took over easely. Also teams should come defend their gyms if they've been conquered.
That game appeal rely a lot on community since it's an mmo.

I have no chance of beating a nearby gym. Can I just send one pokemon at a time to win the first battle, faint on the next, and collect exp, revive, and repeat?
That's a really, really fast update cadence for any game, let alone something as unusual as this. Very curious to see where it goes. I like the way they are talking about it though.
No to the last question, check out the FAQ in the OP for the rest!

Why is the game telling me to login with Pokemon trainer club?
Thought I was signed with Google!

Team Rocket ready! (finally caught my Koffing this morning)
Imo you shouldn't have to camp out at a gym to prevent this BS. I'd prefer it if they put a cooldown on how many times 1 person can fight. Make it once per hour or something. 1 person should not be able to brute force a fortified gym that took a team of people to build up, it just feels wrong to me.
IGN literaly took the info (and even said it) from Game Informer interview, kinda cheap move they made: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...itter.com&utm_campaign=buffer&PostPageIndex=1
By the way I posted it this morning on gaf XD
Putting a cooldown on the only pvp mode of the game is wrong too.
For me, it's because you get a ton of exp for each win (550 exp for beating a gym with 5 opposing pokemon), and 10 gold+ 500 stardust per gym held, once per day. I don't see the need to try and hold one at all, it's definitely more biased towards having the gym constantly change teams. If they gave some reward for holding a gym for a given amount of time, then I'd agree that they definitely need to change the gym to be more balanced towards the defender, but currently there no loss of reward when you lose a gym and retake it.
Are you fighting friendly gyms? You don't need to revive from those. If not, well I've seen revives bug a few times and I needed to spam press for it to apply eventually.

Good point, might try to get my eggs really close to hatching before I do.
You're more likely to catch a pokemon with a smaller circle. Also, the level is what determines how difficult a pokemon is to catch, not really the rarity of said pokemon. I've run in to Zubats that were harder to catch than Eevees or a Psyduck because of the level difference.
In regards to those phone holders for bikes I remember someone saying they have a magnetic one that's easy to snap the phone off for when you find a pokemon or need to handle the phone. You might want to look into those as well.

Was on my morning walk today and a Blastoise shows up on the radar. I go find it and there's this dude just smiling away at the end of a cul-de-sac. I assume this is where he's located. Walk up and say "Blastoise?" He says "Yep!!"
Caught it first try with a Razz Berry and pokeball. Only 31 cp though
His was 550.

His was 550.What I don't understand, though, is that I get the "Nice!" message when the circle is just smaller than completely full.
About the circle thing, I think it only applies if you hit the ball inside the circle, and the smaller it is the better chance it gives you? It goes from "Nice" to "Great" to "Excellent" depending on its size when you hit the bullseye. The circle does nothing at all if you hit the pokemon on the head or arm or w/e
No idea if it just gives you more xp AND has a result on the catch itself though

Any suggestions on a good, cheap portable power supply? This game is demolishing my already shitty 2nd gen Moto X battery.

I posted the gameinformer one. And not everyone is on Gaf 24/7.
Look on amazon, a 10kmAh battery pack goes pretty cheap, you can get around 3 charges from one. Not sure if your phone has any special charging cable though, you'd need a USB to whatever you use.

Pokemon Trainer Club still not working
You get a bonus ("Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!") if you land the ball within the colored circle. The smaller the circle is, the more bonus points you get. You probably just see the "Nice!" when the circle is almost full because it's the easiest time to get the pokeball inside the colored circle.
I am not completely sure either. I have had some experiences where it seems to be false, but I wrote those off to RNG/hindsight bias. All of the guides from the beta that I saw said that the circle affect the catch rate, so I assumed that carried over to the full game.
Where's Team Blue?
Sorry if this is already posted.

Don't frown. His blastoise is trash too.
It's a fairly small store. I only gather steps once I hit the parking lot, sadly.
If a Pokemon you put in a gym is kicked out by a rival team, it will have 1 HP. You have to use Potions to heal it.
If a Pokemon you use to train a friendly gym is "knocked out", it will have 1 HP. You have to use Potions to heal it.
If a Pokemon you use to challenge a rival gym is knocked out, it will have 0 HP. You have to use a Revive and then Potions to heal it.
Nope, all being taken over from rivals when I had someone places there. Happened every time now
Which button did you spam press?
Oh. That... stinks! What the hell!
I see, In my case I'd hit revive and have to spam click the pokemon I want to revive as nothing would happen for ages. Probably the servers acting up as it stopped doing that after a while :/
Edit: Ah problem solved
It's an odd decision for sure. That's why it makes it easy to throw away Revives when I'm not challenging super hard gyms.
Ah, gotcha. I had no clue about that. Thanks.

Not playing, waiting for them to officially release it here. Yeah, I could download the APK, but if they haven't released it here yet I guess it's for a reason. And there was talk of them possibly banning people for circumventing the region lock, but maybe that was BS?
Finally!
