People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
So it begins...
Teen Playing Pokemon Go Stabbed And Mugged For His IPhone; In Bad Neighborhood:

Let's see how many incidents the app can generate before the end of the month because people don't know how to use the app safely.
On my end I'm on a relatively safe side of the city but nonetheless that Pokemon Go Plus strap is looking more tempting.

What's with the game not allowing certain nicknames? Tried a bunch that was normal yet it kept saying it wasn't available.
This is fucking incredible. Me and my roomates just drove around for like an half an hour until my phone died stopping at all the Poke stops and catching Pokemon. At one point we were parked next to a lady's house at a church and she was walking her dog and asked us "Are you guys playing Pokemon Go?" bahah. Combined with my love of road trips, this game makes me want to take a huge one.
I hope this game is set up in a way that in like a few years someone is going to find Mew or some shit in an alcove in a mountain in the Swiss Alps or something.
I think this game is either going to cause gobal destruction or world peace.

There is your problem, it's already taken lol
I got LootenPlunder first try, weird.
Anyone having server issues? caught a zubat and it's just showing me the ball, nothing's happening
I have a feeling these "concerned headlines" are going to annoy the crap out of me for a while

Well that's good to know I hate to see somebody get hurt while using this but that seems to be an inevitability unfortunately.
Still does anyone know when the Pokemon GO Plus Straps go on sale?

Running around my neighborhood looking for pokemon was a blast. There are no stops or gyms in my immediate area, so I had to run a bit of distance to start finding things.
I found one gym and 2 stops in my area. 2 of the pokestops are at a park near me, and the gym is further down, right on the corner of the street my friend lives on (so he'll have quite the advantage once he starts playing... Though when he's at school, he's not there nearly as much) I had gotten to level 5 as I was walking around my neighborhood, so that's when I decided to look for the gym. I ended up catching a pretty strong Nidorino (relative to the pokemon I've been seeing), and it was perfect to set up there after I won. The battle was easy, there was a super weak Rattata holding it down and I took it out with a random cubone I had caught. I didn't even know for sure how to set up my main fighting team.
So I feel pretty good about being a gym leader right now. Apparently if I keep the spot for a certain amount of time, I start to get some benefits.
There are pokestops for days at my community college, so that's how I stocked up on so many pokeballs.
I really wonder how long this will last though. The pokemon distribution isn't all that particular. At least that what it seems like now. I had a lot of fun walking around for two hours in my area to catch them, but it seems a bit too generous, I dunno. It'll be easier to judge that after seeing where the community is at within a few weeks or so.
Oh, I had a pretty cool encounter at a local park. I was walking up to a family of 3 (mom, dad, daughter) walking around together, all looking down at their phones. I was wondering if they were playing Pokemon Go, but before I asked, the Dad said something like "Hey! You're looking down at your phone, are you playing Pokemon Go too?" and then we had this fun 5 or so minute conversation about it. They talked about how they sent pictures to their son in the Navy and he was anxious to play and yadayada and how they have a daughter in NC who's been playing it. (something like that). I also saw 2 kids at my CC playing it this morning too. One kid I talked to and said he just downloaded the apk on a website, so I assume the game wasn't out in NA still.
Anyway, fun day. As of now where I'm at with this game is I feel like there's a decent chance it won't last all that long, not in this state at least. It can really be something special with a lot of added features though. How do they not even have a friends list function yet? I usually don't care much about what my friends are achieving i most games, but it'd be interesting to see what they're catching in this.
I'm glad the area I live in is relatively nice. Definitely helps the experience. I went through this path that I always see, but never actually walk through. It gave off the pokemon route esque vibe lol. (gif below)

Yeah it gets crazy. That's the main reason I turned AR off.
Perfect OT title. Especially considering the people who only caught their starter then deleted it cause they had to actually move to find more XD.
I did it to save battery life lol
Playing Pokemon Go here in Mexico is going to be a true life or death challenge. With all the violence going on here. Just this two weeks alone there has been more like 80 executions just on the city I live. Just imagine walking around with my phone showing while catching a Magikarp...Guess I'm not even going to bother on download the app then

Caught an eevee and a Geodude while in the drive thru at Wendy's! The baptist church next door was a poke stop too.
This is great!

Gonna go on a bike ride with my daughter tomorrow to the trails by my house to see if we can get a water type down by the river. I usually never have apps on my phone but this one will stay.

The "game" part of this game is missing lol. Gym battling is woefully poor. If only you could battle other people at gyms and stuff, that would be really interesting.

I don't know seems like just the right amount for now. They can add so much with updates. I mean it's a mobile game. Perfect for on the go.
I think it takes into account GPS distance as well, that's what those arrows on the side of the screen are. I think.

I noticed that quite a few of the churches near me are Pokéstops.

How do I collect Candy to evolve my Pokemon?

So my Pokemon account never logged in so I used google. Am I fucked? Can I ever link it back?
So far capturing and transfering pokemon to the professor has been the only way to get candies for the corresponding pokemon I transfer to him.
Capturing the same Pokemon.

I see a Gym with a Pidgeott flying over it...Did someone already claim it then? I'm only level 3 and it's taking me forever to get level 5 so I can't check it out..Ugh.
Okay, so after 10 Pokemon caught just sitting at home I'm going to go stretch my legs a bit and see what I can grab. Fun trick I have learnt is to just restart the app after 30 minutes and something
might just pop up. Disappointed I missed than Hitmonchan but hopefully I can go find it in the wild. Any word on Eevee and how to evolve into the respective evolutions yet?
Also, the ban kind of has me worried. Has there been any credible source of information on this?

Are servers down or something? Its asking me to sign up when I already did.
They are getting thrashed. I'm in Brisbane, Australia and I can sometimes log in. I hope my 138 Eevee is still there 😭
