Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

Apparently Puerto Rico uses the USA stores in iOS and Google yet they blocked us from playing, they worked yesterday what the hell Niantic, fuck this shit, we downloaded it legit.
 
Yeah, I have a gym at the end of my street at home, maybe three or four houses down. I'm not level 5 yet, but I'm pretty sure I can catch it from the corner of my backyard. I'm going to own that gym.
 
I'm an absolute madman. I chose Red. Deal with it Blue nerds.

I got to one stop (one I hit yesterday) and got pokeballs again. Tfw no eggs ever. The other one I couldn't get to before the servers died again.

The gym is a gazebo outside the one spot (a library) so I as at least able to get my team. It's a yellow one with Raticate so hopefully I can fight it later when I go back by.
 
I am actively avoiding the guy who is fighting me and taking the same gym in the parking lot I work at. I'm spoofing my location so I don't have to go over there and he is visibly frustrated that I keep taking the gym back. I saw him outside looking around after I took it but he can't seem to find me... this is way more fun than meeting new people.

This will get you banned.
 
I love that people are dictating exercise purely on Pokemon. No one would have predicted this.
We're pretty active already but yeah. :P Have to walk back to campus again in a bit so hopefully the servers are back up. At least enough to let me sign in and hatch my eggs.

If this is anything like Ingress, you're gonna be permabanned. And rightfully so. Totally missing the point of this app.

Is there anyway to tell when the servers go down when you're in the app? I just went for a 2 mile walk and the app was working but after about a mile I hadnt seen a single poke and decied to restart the app. Opened it again and the server was down. Awesome.

I try to open the store.
 
Two questions:

Do Pokémon appear in the same spot for everyone?

And have any of you met a random stranger playing the game as you were playing it?

reposting from a different thread

I had a pretty cool encounter at a local park. I was walking up to a family of 3 (mom, dad, daughter) walking around together, all looking down at their phones. I was wondering if they were playing Pokemon Go, but before I asked, the Dad said something like "Hey! You're looking down at your phone, are you playing Pokemon Go too?" and then we had this fun 5 or so minute conversation about it. They talked about how they sent pictures to their son in the Navy and he was anxious to play and yadayada and how they have a daughter in NC who's been playing it. (something like that). Then we talked about what pokemon we had, where we caught it, seeing other people around who's been playing it, stops around town, some other things, and departed.
 
Yeah, Ingress banned GPS spoofers. They track all your location data and mine it for spoofs, then ban in waves. They were a little slow about it but generally people got banned eventually.

I'm more surprised it's already number one on the top grossing chart. And boy do I wish I signed up with Google... I haven't been able to get my trainer login to work since last night lol
 
I guess it is, because you have to turn the screen upside down.

God damn it. You'd think it'd work anyway since Android can sense which way the phone is turned with only accellerometers. Hopefully they'll do something about it because just turning the screen off is sure to save a bunch of battery.

I think one of my friends bought a lot of eggs because she wants to own the bar.

Even if you log in with google, you're greeted by a message indicating the server is down.

This game has been a massive success and failure simultaneously.
 
It's easy to get confused. "Instinct" and "Valor" are ideals you feel that you should have, and thus you seek the approval of those who claim to represent those ideals for their "team."

But those belonging to Team Mystic already know they have the right instinct. The instinct to join Team Mystic.

And Team Mystic members have already made the valorous choice. The choice to join Team Mystic.

It is the most refined and elegant of factions. For discerning hunters only.

I had a feeling it would take a week or two to sort everything out.

I really hope they fix the 1hp gym thing since a stupid paras killed five of my Pokemon and I couldn't run or anything.

We call it the Infinity Ball. Wait.
 
Had to go walk to the store and knew that there were several pokestops along the way. Signed on in my apartment and left. I had server issues for the entire walk to and from the store but got back to my apartment and logged right on. Haha. I really picked a bad time for that walk.
