are they so spread out that driving is the only efficient way to catch stuff or will i like run into a lot of stuff on daily (3-5 mile) hikes?
i hear filesize is fairly small, 300 mb or less? can anyone confirm or was the beta just smaller?

I came to this from a windows phone and am still missing out on things. Ah well. lol
I used one and caught some Pokemon, which was neat I guess. But uh, they're limited items, it costs currency I don't even know how to acquire and it doesn't really fix that there's literally nothing appearing on my map nearby.

Honestly I felt like things were pretty spread out in my neighborhood. My friend's neighborhood is more densely populated, and seemed to have a lot more Pokemon.
That being said, 3-5 miles should be plenty to run into a decent number of 'mons based on my experience.
Pokemon Go is 127 mb on my phone.
This game will end human civilization...
It's pretty rough but has potential.
two years from now

Poke Pitstops give out items so you don't have to pay for everything.
Ingress didn't have unique objects to collect, did it? Just the orbs or whatever the currency was. So this one is a little different, although they're both turf war games.

Found it here:

Considering doing some itunes location switchery to get it early...

That's not cool with the kidz
Yes, but that's what the Pokemon Go Plus bluetooth adapter is for. You use that instead of taking your phone out all the time. It isn't out yet though.
The app is available in the US if you already have the app installed from the beta/field test. Beta testers can just update their existing app and join back in from the character creation screen.
You can buy 14,500 Pokecoin in-game currency for $99.99. 100 Pokecoins is $0.99
Thanks, guess I'll wait and hope my phone is officially supported.

I like the 3d style, but I can see why it's a turn off for many.
I assume this is easier to do than sprite work.
I'll admit I think a lot of it is just getting higher res models and not looking at the shitty 3d screen/res.
Ingress has its passionate fans, and this is similar, with the added incentive to collect Pokemon. It's a game about exploring the world, which encourages social interaction... Hard to think of a better way to marry Pokemon and smartphone technology. The battle system might not be as involved as traditional Pokemon games, but that's not really the point after all. I look forward to seeing it evolve.

It's fun in a novel gimmick type of way. Traveling around and catching Pokemon with my friend was pretty great. Haven't had that type of experience in Pokemon before.
That being said, I'm not convinced in its longevity just yet. More of a nice distraction while walking/traveling.

After some initial troubles, I was able to get the game and I walked around town for about an hour playing it. Caught a handful of Pokemon (some have since been "transferred") and I got to Level 4 as well.

Apk won't download for me, I guess I'll just wait
I say download the apk, grab your username, play normally and then download it from the Play store when avaliable.
Yes, you will be able to update it through the Play Store as it will have the same signature. Don't know why that user said no.
I just checked my store page and the app is not listed. Maybe it will when updateable, I'm a fool.
I mean I'm having fun

I just want to hike mountains and catch a pokemon. I have zero expectations other than this.

The one thing that comforts me about infantile people like you is the fact that you'll either come to terms with mobile gaming or eventually lose your hobby forever.

So if this doesn't get abandoned after 12 months, it's going to be amazing in a few years. Life changing, really.
It's just kind of neat right now though.

Downloaded the apk finally, now it gets to the load screen and eventually gives an error about connection. Any ideas?
Yeah with some great additions and updates, it'll be a cool companion piece to mainline games.
It's 9pm here and raining, no way I'm going out today. I used an incense but no pokes come near me
I have some stuff to do tomorrow so I'll take advantage and see what I can find.
Out of curiosity, what area do you live in? Wondering why you have Growlithes.
At night I had zubats, nidoran male and female, pidgys, bellsprouts, hypnos and eevees. That's for Massachusetts.

Downloaded the apk file, the install button doesn't come up when I load it up. Awesome.

It's a bit late to go for a walk. Game says I have Pidgeys and Rattatas nearby.
It's like I'm actually on Route 1.

BUT IT BECOMES GYRADOS
And Bulbasaur is the GOAT.
I'm super confused by this thing.
I started with a Squirtle, and an Ekans appeared my lounge room straight after, so I caught that. I live near a park, and saw there were a bunch of Pokestops there, pretty much on every sign / monument / bridge, which was quite neat, so I walked over there and wandered around. After a bit I worked out how to activate the Pokestops, so I now I have about 20 more Pokeballs, and 4 eggs - one of which I put in an incubator but I havent walked enough to hatch it. And.... thats it. Where are the wild Pokemon? I saw little patches of what I assume is rustling grass, but when I walk over there (if I can even make it in time) nothing seems to happen.

hmmm... will check it out once it comes out in the US itunes store, i don't care enough to jump through hoops and get the AU version.
not really, even if lets say that hypothetically tomorrow everyone drops out of the console/pc development and everyone goes full gear on mobile for the rest of our lifetime, there are plenty of games that are out spread across multiple consoles many of which can be emulated on a pc to last us until we eventually croak.
just saying.
