Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

I'm sold on this game.

Seeing the preview and trailers I was very much less than thrilled.

But starting off on a walk with the intent to just level up a little and hit a pokestop and ending up going on a hour long walk through paths I haven't walked 10, 15 and in some places 20 years and seeing places I used to go to, new statues and monuments and beautiful views I'd otherwise just drive by... all while running into people gleefully shouting out to you once they realize you are doing the same thing... pure magic.


Got my ass kicked at a gym though, sweeeeeeet lord. Didnt stand a chance.


Being able to battle people would take this app to godly status. Though I guess that would bring up some pretty glaring safety/predator concerns.
 
Yeah, they have little red stars by their names so you can be sure they're shiny, since some are just SLIGHTLY off colored. If I could GET INTO THE GAME I'd screen grab for you. I've seen a few shots of other shinies on the Internet, like a Pinsir and a Weedle.

Who am I kidding I'm never gonna get one.
 
Hit up a park tonight that has two gyms and four Pokespots. Somebody put up a lure and about 20 people gathered around. It was a lot of fun.
We saw a Gastly on the radar and everybody split up to search. We eventually found it and everybody managed to catch it!
 
There is a stupid gym down the road from my house that we just can't fight. It kicks us out as soon as it starts. I've watched Red team slowly increase it's defenses over the last two days and no one can really do anything about it because it's impossible to take.

It makes me more mad than it should.

Go find the owner and beat them up
 
Errghhh mah God... 202 cp pincer randomly came into my room, about to catch it and I get a red error box at the top and the game kicks me out.

I have wanted to shout out "HEY ARE YOU HUNTING POKEMON" a bunch of times today..
 
Was in a Walmart and heard random people talking about this. Everyone at the table for lunch at work downloaded it today pretty much immediately. Crazy times.
 
Took my dog for a walk in a relatively quiet Seattle neighborhood at around 9:00 p.m. and encountered easily over 10 people playing the game in the thirty minutes or so I was out. People seemed to be having fun!
 
well pokemon.com is giving a different error message now. I guess some progress might have been made towards getting PTC accounts to work. They are limiting account creation. Still can't login. Maybe they should focus on making it where we can actually fucking log in, then figure out account creations..

"With the exciting launch of Pokémon GO, there’s an overwhelming demand for new Pokémon Trainer Club accounts. Our team is hard at work improving the sign-up process. Until the work is complete, for a brief time, we’ll be limiting the number of new accounts that can be created simultaneously. If you’re unable to create an account at this time, please try again in an hour."
 
Logging in with PTC gives me an error now, saying something is wrong with Pokemon.com. Before I was just stuck with a spinning Poké Ball.

... progress?
 
Just signed in via Google about an hour ago. Looks like there's a lot of Pokemon spots south of where I live, and I was already planning on getting out of the house anyway.

Cute game, glad it's spreading like crazy.
 
Man, walking around after a concert today I ran into a bunch of other people playing, which was cool.

...Also caught like a dozen Zubats and a Clefable. I was in Mt. Moon.
 
Anybody know if X km means that egg will be the same pokemon others got? I have a 2km and 10km egg. Has anyone tried it with a cardio bike? I assume it wouldn't work since you aren't actually "moving" via gps. It's like 100+ in FL, way too hot.
 
My wife and I just spent 30 minutes to an hour wandering around our nearby area just catching 'mons. It was pretty fun, feels great to walk about (healthy!) and we found our first PokéStop! She got an egg, I didn't :(
 
I'm gonna try this again. So the Pokemon Go Plus isn't out yet, correct? Do we have any idea of availability will be an issue when it does come out? Like amiibo tier? I really want one!
 
There are a ridiculous amount of gyms near me but the pokemon there are way more powerful than mine. I'm starting to catch better stuff but I'm leveling so slow now.
 
got a pikachu on the way around the neighborhood. bro went walking to a gym and fought someone. oddly the leader was driving around and stopped by to battle him. bro lost but there was a truck taht drove by too to check it out. and it was around 10pm lol
 
Made some rounds around town all day, some good progress! Got a Dodrio, a few more Pigeots, Jolteon and two gyms taken over. There's a small arboretum close by that has 5 PokeStops and two gyms, freaking gold mine for that. My only issues are trying to find Pokemon walking, and trying to find ones I want. Obviously I grab anything, but the ones I'm into (Fire, Ghost, Ice) and the rarer ones are nigh impossible. The cemetery didn't have any Ghost types either so ya'll liars.
