It's pretty pointless trying to HOLD a gym, but getting one for your team still gives you a good chunk of exp and gives you the daily reward. I like the system, it makes it most rewarding if a gym constantly changes hands.

Yup. City or bust really
I found two in a 25min walking distance today in the middle of nowhere but it's so not worth it. However I walk there every day so it's a nice bonus I guess, but like he said, I feel taxed to purchase balls since I can't get them otherwise, at least not many unless I sit still for hours at a stop which kinda defeats the purpose.

I died hahaah
Just remembered I really did get that Scyther last night and felt warm and fuzzy. Gonna wait til I level up to see how high the 3 candy can bump him and then see about installing him in one of my local Gyms. Maybe the Ikea is still up for grabs.
Yesterday I was supposed to be out farming Magikarp in my canal all day and kinda forgot and only got 4. Gotta grab a bunch tonight.

The latest update made it worse. All I get is unable to authenticate when I try logging in with my trainer account. Lame.
2nd day in a row that CBC Radio talked about the game during my drive home. Today was more about how the game is destined to raise awareness and interest in AR.
Being in Canada, they mentioned ispokemongoavailable.com as a source to keep track and get notification of availability in your country.

This makes me anxious to actually start battling in gyms. I work on the Vegas Strip and the 4 gyms closest to me probably change control at least once an hour. It's sort of insane.

Just caught my 2nd Chansey about 10 minutes after finding the first one. Maybe I live in a Chansey breeding ground, lol.

What does this mean, how do gyms work and how would someone know not to use a Pokemon.
Nice! I woke up to a Kingler on my tracking meter but never found it. Water Pokémon are super rare in the Temecula CA region.

capturing a gym gives me one hell of a sense of pride. Unfortunately they don't last long without a good group of people helping to level it up. I like the team work aspect but all my friends are out of my city.

Pokemon Go at it again. I never want to leave this new amazing world born out of this game.
Ummm, this made me tear up a little.
FUCK YES. So wonderful.
Some of the battery levels posted in this thread are making me twitch.
Hmmmm... so if I can login fine with a new Pokemon Trainer Club account, but my google account doesnt let me login anymore... could that google account now be banned? Or are there Google authentication issues? Inofficial region here.

A Growlithe appeared in my radar after a great morning of pokemon catching. I left my house and walked across the whole neighborhood but never found it
However, I found something better
She looked like she was abandoned and I didn't have the heart to leave her there so I took her home

Yeah, the ideal thing to to is capture/fortify a few (especially if you have a group that can take them down and build them up quick with you), put your mons in and grab the bonus once you feel like you're holding the most you can that day. Because attacking is so favored it's not all that practical or beneficial to try and hang onto a gym for dear life, and to me it also always makes it much more satisfying when it IS standing hours later because you put in a strong/logical team.
I think the other way around, where defending was the easier task, would make play more strategic and less casual which I know a lot of people here would enjoy, but I think ultimately I prefer it this way and I'm pretty sure the majority of the gigantic playerbase would get frustrated with gyms that were unable to be toppled for weeks at a time.

So I hear there's a update but maybe only out for iOS? Has anyone been able to play since getting it? I'm on android
holy shit, just to be clear, you were out hunting pokemon and found and took in an actual cat?A Growlithe appeared in my radar after a great morning of pokemon catching. I left my house and walked across the whole neighborhood but never found it

pretty much
I'm yellow
get a flareon and vaporean.......LOL
its random....all these guys trying to figure out evee stuff is hilarious when none of it still has a pattern.
Does this mean that it's better to evolve, then power up? (I saw this before but didn't know the reasoning behind it).
Also, if I have a fully evolved pokemon and it's CP indicator is already positioned way over to the right, I can only increase it that small extra amount, ever?
Not sure if there's a better way besides waiting as you level up and find higher level base Pokemon.
That means you can only increase it that little at this current trainer level. As you level up, you can raise them to higher CP.
Had no idea you still got rewards. Good to know there's still a point to trying to battle and win.
Anyway how good is it where you all are? It's great here. I feel bad for people who run out of pokeballs and can barely find pokemon. It's like this in every direction for miles in NYC, stops with lures everywhere:

Teared up man. You are an amazing person. Every time I see a stray cat my heart sinks.
Wishing your new buddy nothing but fun times.

irl Meowth confirmed
Word on the street is that the Presidio is overrun with bulbasaur, and the USF park is where to find dratini, dragonair, and dragonites.
There were lapras sightings near the ocean beach windmills. Also tends to be ton of lures.
I crawl inner richmond clement and balboa. This neighborhood runs blue. Doduos, rhyhorns, crabby, and poliwags everywhere. Endless mankey in GG park.

I'm so sorryGod damn it, server crashed for me while hunting this baby down, got it down to 1 step then logged in and it had run away

Whole pokeball at stop is a stupid mechanic. Outside a big city its self defeating (Walk 5km for this egg, with nothing else in sight but pokemons you cant catch or sit still at this one stop 5min away for a few hours and farm it) of the purpose the game was founded on. To go outside and catch pokemon.
I feel a daily login of maybe 50-150 pokeballs would do the trick and just leave pokestops close to gyms for healing and revive/hp pickups or something.
Currently people in the city got a MASSIVE advantage of tons of pokeballs and lures while anyone outside gets shit on if they try anything as the "grind" is longer due to lack of resources.
Its poor, and feels just like a "outside city tax".
HAHAHAHA that sucks but it's also hilarious

That's awesome. Get her cleaned up and to the vet to make sure she's well, not infested, etc!
For Golbat, I'd say the second. The difference in CP is going to be negligible in the long run (it's higher anyway), but it does have the stronger second attack.
With Poliwag, well, they're basically the same. Might be worth waiting to see if you can catch a higher level CP one in the long run.

Claimed a gym this morning and left my Pidgeotto there. Is there any way to get it back? I have 50 candies and want to evolve it into a Pidgeot.
Kind of. It more means that it doesn't matter either way...
If you don't have enough candy to evolve something but want to actually USE it to fight at that moment, then powering it up makes sense. Otherwise, evolution is way better. Gets you XP, big CP boost, doesn't use Stardust...
Its maximum CP is determine by your Trainer Level.
Holy shit. There are more stops with Lures than ones without. Goddamnit I wanna go back to NYC. I'll be there in October but the mons are so hot right now ;_;Had no idea you still got rewards. Good to know there's still a point to trying to battle and win.

You giftzan the quapsel until etwicklening the bon bons becomes unheilboen flug wasser.
(I think evolving and powering up the one's with the higher CP is typically the way to go. Evolve the Quapsel first, though. ).
