I like that whenever the game fails to upload a pokemon and gets stuck, it does manage to save that youve spend a pokeball.
Priorities be damned.
I just bought this external charger:
And this Kevlar USB cable:
Cable is a little long, but it's Kevlar and durable. The charger, though, is amazing. Really compact, same capacity as my physically larger batteries, but has one Qualcomm cert quick charge port for my S6. The secondary port I can use for my other backup phone that doesn't have a larger battery capacity (moto x 1st gen).
Incredibly cute. At the Pokemon event in Downtown last night, I saw two fathers dressed in full-body Pokemon costumes playing the game with their kids.

Lol if Pokemon Company removed it for referencing the anime
My Jolteon is named Romulus anyways.
Persisting bug: pokemon catch location doesn't work
Get used to things not working quite right. You'll be restarting this app a lot, A LOT when something doesnt load right or freezes etc.
Fun as hell experience but yeah...

Any UK'ers playing this? Trying to get it working on sons iPad and it just keeps saying it can't retrieve user data . Are the servers really that messed up?
The launch of this app in general has been an absolute mess I'm surprised the game still managed to be #1 on everything and is now a phenomenom. No advertisement at all, it was released without previous announcement in only three or so countries, no actual explanation of how the app works, just general things very briefly, everything has got to be figured out and that is annoying, etc. etc. etc.
Dat Nintendo influence.

When the servers was back on I took the opportunity to evovle my Eevee (which I named Pyro) and it worked. Lol not sure if pure luck but before that I got two Jolteon.

Game is an absolute mess right now. Severs all over the place. Might have to wait a day or two. The first three days of launch were not pretty either and there was a big roll-out yesterday.
Umm... why did Sony Santa Monica tweet this?

So you can update your location and the store currency changes to your native coin?

Ha. The Mrs just popped one and 10 minutes later the servers go down.
No and no
Game runs flawlessly when I'm on wifi but as soon as I leave home and use my data the game doesn't update at all. When I restart it, the bar stops at around 25% and stays there until a Retry prompt appears. I go back into wifi range and bam, everything starts working fine. :/
I might wait until the servers become more stable but this really puts a wrench in my plans today.

Of course that on the one day that I'm off work and running errands the game won't even open. Ffs.

The weekend in general is the worst time to have these issues. People off work and even gatherings planned.
They should have placed server load above everything else regardless of planned updates or country rollouts.
Sorry if the game isnt out where someone lives, but it struggles to keep up for places it has released.

Lol someone fucked up with that tweet
stuck at 25% ish ? been having that for hours and hours
I saw the servers were up so I walked to the park in search of a bulbasaur on my radar. Server crashes at the park. I continued walking to the pokestops that were lured. My game comes back on and squirtle replaced bulbasaur. I set off in search of him and servers died again. What a waste of a walk. I had about .5 km left on an egg and couldn't hatch it

The fuck is the point of region exclusive pokemon without trading

Trading is on their list of things to add.
They added in region locking for that authentic Nintendo experience.
Tauros exists in the US.
Edit: wait, there is no region exlclusive pokemon so far I know. Where do you get that silly idea ?!

In this game you can bypass regions by walking to them

Yes, hence why I said "also gets".
Trading is going to be added, hopefully sooner rather than later.

This was Downtown Disney last night. It was freaking packed.
Thankfully I went there at 11AM, so there's plenty of Lures and none of the stampede.
This is me at 11AM
This was last night
There's about twice as many lit Pokelures, but you don't need that many. The amount if lit Pokelures at 11AM was very plentiful already.

Is there actually evidence of region exclusives or are there just very few sightings of some of the rarer Pokemon?
With free ads and cross promotion like these, why bother with marketing the game, lolLevel 20 or higer get a $500 discount from a car dealer

Looks like Gamestop might be our first "Sponsored Locations" I guess...or maybe they're just proactively helping players to potentially get them in store.

You can search your area to see which stores are Stops, Gyms and if any are having Lure events.
