Don't know if already posted, but Elon Musk's SpaceX launched a spacecraft (Dragon) to the International Space Station, today. The ISS has to catch it when it arrives for docking, so...

That showed up during the webcast (notice the reference to 2024, when SpaceX aims to launch the first manned mission to Mars). Pretty crazy.

Have they released this in any countries where Ingress didn't come out? If so how would they handle map data?

It's pretty late so I don't feel like crossing out what wasn't released in Ingress, but here's a country list: https://ingress-intel.com/country/

I'm only going to assume choosing whatever Pokestops exist in Pokemon Go on the countries that never had Ingress was part of the development process during its years in development. Also it's still all Google Maps.

Damn.

This game is sooooo much fun. Now, mind you, I'm not into Pokemon ... but collecting and overthrowing gym's is great!

Too bad the "team" function is not active on iOS though. The Netherlands got the app about 2 days ago and I'm loving it.

PokeGAF .. is there some secrets in getting better Pokemon?

Sometimes I see these white-pulsating round thingies on the map. What do those mean? I know the "green grass" that pop-ups are hidden Pokemon and you are able to see other people's lures ... I'm such a noob.

I don't think anything is more infuriating than actually being out somewhere and having the app crash/not work.

Two questions:
1) Can you only incubate 1 egg at a time? (Because I have two eggs and the second one doesnt respond when I press the incubator)
2) Which team is best? I like the color yellow, but valor is such a more cooler word :p

You only have one (infinite) incubator. More incubators you'll get by leveling, etc.

Wasn't gonna download the game, but I couldn't help myself.

Shame the servers seem to be fucked almost all the time. Seems like I can play a couple of hours in the mornings (Finland here) and that's it.

From ths article, it seems the National park has some Pokespots and a Gym!
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...ews-pokemon&utm_campaign=Content&sf31035296=1

Lynda Doucette, a lead interpretive ranger at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, says the park’s landscape obstructs cell service. But she and her colleagues have found at least five Pokéstops, landmarks where players can collect useful items, and a Pokégym. They’ve identified at least 12 Pokémon, including Zubats and Squirtles.

Wow, some Ingress players must have really love that park, that's so cool.

I have caught two Pokemon today. One of them is a Nidoran (boy) the other is Venonat.And since I caught that one, there's been a few mods of them. I'm gonna walk alot today.

I wanna be the very best Pokemon trainer!

Also the servers have been very smooth today.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Wow, Howard Stern has been talking about this for twenty minutes so far on his show. You know it's huge if he brings himself to even pay attention to it.
 
Anyone else unable to scroll down a Pokemon's page (to get to the transfer button) sometimes?
Keeps happening and it's driving me mad. Seems to happen a lot with Drowzees.

They need to fix the fucking tracking. Missed out on Alakazam.

I no longer pay much mind to it. For about an hour of my morning walk (2h) I had a charmander and a kabuto "close" to me, yet I found a nidoqueen and jynx instead - which weren't even on the list.

I swipe along the edges to scroll down because of that issue. I think what happens is that if you're swiping in the middle of the screen, you are probably touching some elements of the user interface or maybe the little map that shows up at the bottom, and that prevents it from scrolling down. It's not well designed.

Why does he wear the mask!?

Sick of seeing the same few Pokemon though

Two 2km eggs hatched. Both Pidgey.

Least my 5km one was a Goldeen

They're always smooth around this time on weekdays. It's usually later in the day they get really bad.

Man I'm sure Venonats are a myth around here had my tracker showing 3 outlines of them and never seen one. Everyday it shows Venonat shadows but yet see one since Thursday.
