For those in regions where this game has not released: don't fret. It's not working properly at the moment. Maybe by the time it is available for you, the experience will be working as it should, and you will have a better time with it. Right now it cuts in and out, breaks gym encounters, and even causes items to be wasted when communication with the server is dropped. It is fun while it works, but it works only sometimes. I hope Niantic is able to iron out the wrinkles before Go is a go elsewhere. The experience can be very frustrating for those that have it right now.

I'm in the same boat. Every now and then see someone in the office catching Pokemon. And then I just check GAF to see if PTC is back up yet.
Feels bad, man.
At least I caught a powerful Dodrio right before we went down. Should be able to sweep some of these Pinsir gyms.
How does evolving eevee work anyway? Is it just random what you get?

My friend and I played down at the beach for a few hours last night, but he has a major issue with his game.
Over 50% of the time his game freezes during the catch animation, and then eventually crashes. Anyone know what's up with this? He has an iPhone 6+. (But so do I, we were in the same place at the same time)

I hate how easily gyms can be taken. You can only leave 1 Pokemon at a gym but anyone can bring six, destroy your Pokemon and take the gym. The most I've seen at a gym was 3 Pokemon and it was soon taken. You should only be able to bring as many Pokemon as the gym has.

Trainer Club logins have been down for nearly 25 hours now. Google logins are much more stable, so starting over really depends on how much you did on your Trainer Club account and how much faith you have they will be back up soon.

Anyone caught a Sandshrew/Sandslash? Is there a particular type of place I need to go?

When i defeated a gym, the gym became empty, i had to reclick on the empty gym and assign a pkmn to t to claim it as mine

Yep. You "train" if it's owned by your team, which allows you to level up the gym (and get exp for yourself). When the gym levels up you can leave an extra Pokemon in defence to make it harder for other teams to capture.

At what level do I pick a team and start taking on gyms?
Yeah if the gym is the same team as you, you're only sparring with the pokemon there. That earns you Exp and also raises the prestige of the gym. You can only put pokemon there if there's a free slot. I think there are one slot per gym level, so if it's a level 3 gym there can be 3 pokemon. To raise the gym level you have to raise the prestige points.

How the hell do people keep running into Pokémon in their house? I've never had that happen
Incense.
Damn, guess I should've assumed this would happen from the start. I didn't make too much progress, just one Pokestop and a few Pidgeys and such, but I'd be more annoyed by losing my username. Bleh, might as ell give it a few more hours before starting over I guess...

Shoot I wasted 20 pokeballs on a pidgeot but at least I caught it :v
Ah that's a shame. So many of the gyms around me are owned by fellow team members and I don't want to go through the trouble of levelling up the gym to leave my Pokemon there. Would rather defeat someone on another team and take theirs instead!

Unfortunately, no, and I have heard no rumors to indicate that feature is coming.

Actually it's good news! Go to the Shop page and you'll see a shield icon in the top-right corner of the screen. You can press that once every 24 hours to get free Stardust and Pokecoins. You get 500 Stardust and 10 Coins for every Pokemon you currently have defending a gym, up to a max of 10 (so 5000 Stardust and 100 Coins).
If your area is stacked with well defended gyms and you can get your own Pokemon in there defending with them, it's like guaranteed daily bonuses from that shield icon =)

That feature is reserved for PTC players.
yes it is called the PTC servers

If it's going left or right it's because your swiping left or right =P Swipe straight up when the moving circle is smallest. It'll be colour-coded for difficulty as well (green easy, red hard). The further and faster you swipe the further the ball will be thrown. Tougher Pokemon tend to be further away from you than weaker Pokemon.

Yeah, it works fine. There are no bans, just unstable servers.

Just reach level 5 and got some potions and revives but how do I pick a team?
TPCi sent me this when I enquired about an ETA
It's focused on Pokémon TCGO though

Go and check out a Gym now.
How did you do it exactly? i tried making an NZ account but it always got stuck on the last page in Itunes (and kept asking me to contact the assistence for more info)
And how would it work if i needed (in the far future) to buy in game stuff for example?

I made sure I was signed out on my phone, then clicked the link in the first post. The phone said it needed to change regions, so I said okay. Then when I tried to download it asked for an address (which I just faked, of course) and payment method (which you can set to none when downloading a free app). Then it worked.
Once down, log back in with your normal account. Ingame stuff will be in your region's currency. Basically it's a global app, just not out globally.

Touch a gym on the map. You don't even have to be close enough to fight at it. As long as you're level 5 and click on a gym you can pick your team.
