Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

Went to a cemetery littered with pokestops today, and even though it had zero pokemon until I used incense to attract some of the common ones it was still pretty cool. Each stop in the area were important graves and memorials.
Makes me wonder if museums could strike deals to make selfguided tours that tie into the app. Go to a piece of art, learn a little about it, get 5 pokeballs.

I've lived in this house for almost two years, and I had only ever been to the park right next door once in that time.
I've been there three times today to refuel the gym and hit a couple Pokestops.
Man these kids keep doing chip damage to the leader and killing my Golbat, but I just heal him up and put him back, even stronger than before. And now some other guy put his Weepinbell on the gym, so between the three of us, and with me being able to quickly go over and replenish my fallen Pokemon, I'm hoping to hold onto to this for a bit. I wish I knew the leader, I could warn him to come heal his Venomoth.
The park is so busy on Sundays though... I'm not confident we'll hold it. But by the power of lord Zapdos, we'll die trying!

Yes.
Not really. Instead of leveling up Pokemon you power them up and evolve them by using stardust and candy. Every time you catch a Pokemon of a certain species you get 3 of that species candy (and a fourth if you transfer it to the professor). You get 100 stardust for every Pokemon you catch.
Yeah, the battle system is really awful in my opinion.
Yes, has to be open. Only eggs get steps counted; pkmn won't level up.

im in the uk on an Australian itunes acc, but i wonder what servers we are connecting to.
I've not had any server issues at all, minus a few hangs here and there. It's been going strong.

LOL I saw a couple arguing in the park about this. The guy's phone died so he wanted to go home and charge up, but the girl had a Pikachu on her radar that she apparently REALLY wanted. She was like "fuck you, I'm going to get him" and walked away from him.
I probably should've mentioned to them that Pikachus are ALWAYS at the park but eh..

As in Pokemon Go, it's very easy for portals to constantly switch teams and ownership. In addition, the 8 resonators that must be planted to claim the portal for your team, slowly begin draining over an extended period of time. So you can imagine after so much time, the resonators dissapear and release the portal to a blank state once more.
The game is absolutely drawing it's pokestop database from Ingress, without a doubt.

Sludge Bomb. 100 power (50 over 2 bubbles) against Power Whip's 50 (60 over 1 bubble), and there are barely any Steel or Ghost types so it has essentially three resists, Poison, Ground and Rock, to Grass' god knows how many.

yep, when a friendly gym levels up a button will show up in the bottom left of the screen to place a pokemon there. oh and you can only select fully healed pokemon.
Yea, it's pretty bad. They have been lagging for me alot today and the whole dodge mechanic is shady. I only bother attempting to dodge on the special attacks.
Really wish they would just use the normal battle mechanic. Not sure why they didn't do that. i guess they wanted the fights to be fast paced since it's a mobile game.
I saw this going on to. It sucks because the bar and place I normally go to HH doesn't have a pokestop in front of it.

I don't see the value in taking over gyms after you have your 10 coins for the day. It's a waste of resources and the payoff in exp isn't that great.
I think I'm gonna stop fighting for them.

It's seems like this game is making its rounds because one of my managers at my job is playing it. Maybe I should download this app and try it out considering I got tomorrow off.
Man, this game is something special. I ran into at least five different friends from high school walking around the neighborhood catching Pokemon today. Just spent the last two hours walking and chatting with one of them. So fun.
I also witnessed a gym change through all three teams in five minutes. Dude in a car just drove up and parked and I thought nothing of it. I look back down at the game and the bastard took my gym. That's how I made friends with some dude in a car.

stolen from reddit, titled "Them eggs be hatching fast"
I love the sense of community surrounding this game, i will be excited to see what future upgrades will bring, because although its great now. This game could be some much more.

On the item screen, there's a trash can icon on the right side, lined up with the items. Click it, choose how many of that item you want to get rid of, and viola! open space. Hold on to a bunch of pokeballs though, I threw a bunch away because I had 200+, but now I have <40 after a few hours of hunting with friends.

So I got like 3 eggs does the game know your in a car when trying to hatch them?
If I had to come up with a fake description of what I thought a game like this could do for social community interaction, like a best case proof of concept, my actual day today would beat it.
Just went back and hung out at the park with the guy there that dropped the lure just like he said he would. Another couple rolled up too. An hour was gone like that. Got a bulbasaur.

Like how many days does it take to get your servers in line. They owe me gas money. 😒

My brother downloaded it earlier today. He was having no luck finding anything (think it was just issues being on android). Got this text while at work.
Guess riding your bike while looking for Pokemon might not be the best idea.

It clocks you moving and cuts off when you go above 20kmh. So...yeah, driving doesn't work too well.

Server crashed on me while catching a jigglypuff :/
You're a horrible person!
Yeah, I just saw that too. I have over 200 pokeballs too but only tossed 10 or so to make room. I think I'm going to have to spend a lot of time hunting tomorrow to get rid of some.
Anyone know if you still get xp from pokestops even if your inventory is full?

I'm sore from just two days of walking.
Today was gonna be a rest day, but then I glanced at the map and somebody had set off a lure nearby.
Was out for 2 hours because of that. :/
Why does everybody have AR on?My brother downloaded it earlier today. He was having no luck finding anything (think it was just issues being on android). Got this text while at work.

It's neat for taking pictures and showing to people, but it makes catching Pokemon incredibly difficult.

I'll never understand this absolute refusal to throw a couple of bucks to a free app you're genuinely enjoying and sinking time into. It was free. You're enjoying it enough that you actually hit your item limit. I'd say Niantic has at least earned a few of your dollars.
