Everyone in my town seems to be on Blue team. :/ Every single gym is already blue. Kind of lame I can't actually challenge and battle anyone.

Woke up a bit earlier for work this morning (4am) and drove around my neighborhood..managed to catch a Flareon and Growlithe!
I was right in front of a goddamned Taurus this afternoon when the game froze (my friend froze in front of a Kangaskhan) -_-'
Luckily my workplace has like 4 different Pokestops, I just walk around to a corner of the building periodically and swipe hahaha
How do I pick teams?

There is a church about 4 houses down from my house, there is a cemetery right next to it.
I can almost get the pokestop from my daughter's room.
The Church is a Gym. Who's ready to throw down in the house of the lord?

Probably you and your location. I've encountered a couple Drowzees, but not as much as some other Pokemon.
You can't stop there...
Oooh, look what washed up in my canal after I was done dredging it for magikarp:
Speaking of magikarp, it never fails to get me how pathetic they look flopping on the grass where everybody walks their dogs.....
Almost got away, I had to hit him with 4 pokeballs. Was an orange ring.

Never seen one. There is definitely some kind of regioning going on.
I started with PTC, then later went to Google.
Had to restart. New trainer and new nickname and everything.
So is there trading in the game? Seems odd to region pokemon unless that's in.

Got it, thanks for clarifying for me! 😎
No, though it is one of the few features that is confirmed to be coming.
I don't totally agree though- I actually do hope I am encouraged to travel a bit for certain Pokes when things shake out.

I'm running into the 1 HP glitch EVERY SINGLE TIME at the gym by my apartment. So fucking annoying. I could easily claim the gym if it weren't glitching out.
Anyone else having this issue consistently?

You can't tap so much. Basically the app loses track or something.

Yeah, I can see myself getting super bored of this quickly. It's nice and all but yeah, feels like a "every one's doing it thing" then becomes cumbersome after a bit.

I'm waiting for the attack animation to end every time before I attack again. It only happens with this one particular Rhydon, no other gym Pokémon.
I have no idea then. This is one glitch I really really hope they get rid of soon.
Word. It needs trading sooner than later. Maybe PVP battling to, though that might be a pipe dream. I'm not even sure how that would work from device to device, one on one. Bluetooth? NFC?

I found my Magmar in an abandoned park on my way from work. Aside from all of the commons I was getting that day, I took a double take when spotting him before pulling over. Then I noticed that there was a sign that said "Do Not Enter".....but I couldn't resist. It took about 7 pokeballs because he was knocking them all away before I caught him. Then I cringed when I saw a policeman roll past me, as I was coming out, but felt relieved when he didn't pull over lol.
I had my alibi ready just in case the worst case scenario happened anyway though. [Policeman pulls over] "Sir, what does that sign say?". Me- "Uhh Rare Magmar, come and get it??? Blame Pokemon Go"

I hope I'll be able to play this. Still can't register or anything.

Two teenagers just stood in the middle of my front yard waving their phones around. My cat was freaking out so my wife looked out the window and saw them. She called me up to tell me someone just stole whatever Pokemon was waiting for me in the front yard when I got home. LOL

Wonder how long till we have our first Pokemon Go related fatality.
Really wish it had launched with trading.
That would be something to do between travelling to look for pokes.
Ha, I was biking around and came across a gym that was attached to a monument at the top of a small hill, with nothing for a hundred yards around it. I walked up, wrecked those Team Instinct fools, and claimed it in the name of the glorious Team Mystic! It was awkward walking away, these was someone else walking towards the monument looking at their phone, refusing to make eye contact or acknowledge me. Anyway, either she had crap pokemon (my CP 243 Raticate was the only pokemon there) or she was also a member of team mystic. Either way, I have 6 gyms claimed, making bank on that daily bonus!

Welp, just went out in a lightning storm because I *thought* it said there was a Blastoise in the area.
I did not capture said Blastoise
How has the data usage been for you guys?

Man! Took a Valor Gym back for Team Mystic on my way home, then once I got inside, a Hypno popped up in my backyard with CP???. 12 Pokeballs later, I catch it and it ends up CP 346 right off the hop, with Confusion and Psychic. Now my place is lousy with Drowzee tho

Unable to login to my Pokemon Trainer ID. I could use my Google account but I can't get any name that isn't ASnakbr or whatever, Pokemon ID is on point.
Guess I'm waiting for this to get fixed.

There were arrests and stuff stemming from Pokemon Go's predecessor, Ingress, I know. Personally, I used play to play Ingress in a secured NASA facility.
I worked for NASA at the time though

Those that use battery saver:
Have you ever had an issue where battery saver is on, screen is dark, then you pull it up and everything looks right but you can't tap the screen?

I think that's a server issue. Are your UI elements also missing?
Just ran into a dude at the park at the Pokéstop I was headed to. He looked stumped so I suggested he spin the icon, and we shared a moment.
Then the servers shit the bed once more.
Yeah, but that has also happened when I'm just playing normally. It will still track movement on the GPS, and sometimes pokemon still appear, but I can't click on anything. closing and reopening the app usually fixes it. Sometimes this also means servers went down, especially if the grey pokeball in the top left corner of the screen doesn't go away.

Server issues are killing the fun of this for me. All I wanna do I catch some Pokemanz while on my smoke break, dammit!
I can't get in.

Yeah, you need to get an app like Stay Alive! to keep your phone awake during apps of your choosing.
Is the game still active when your screen locks

If this has already been answered I apologize but for some reason I cannot get the AR to work.
When I click on a pokemon when you're on the overhead view it goes to my camera and says something like "Hey, your AR isn't detected." and I can switch it to a traditional pokemon DS grass field backdrop and the pokemon is there. The AR doesn't work. I have a Samsung Amp 2. Any idea what I gotta do?

There's a gym at a Mormon church with a Ratticate defending it on my commute. It's just mocking me. I can't wait to get to level 5 to challenge it.

This game makes me remember how superior gen 1 is.
No need to add anymore Pokemon to this game.
