still can't log in since yesterday, wtf? have edge s7
Just learned an efficient way of catching Pokemon in this game while stockpiling pokeballs in the meantime
Find a location (if any) that has 3-5 pokestops in a vicinity that you don't need to walk around much (if any at all) then put lure modules on all of them and chill out for a hour
Loads of Pokemon kept popping up, especially uncommon and rare Pokemon. I found a hitmonchan, pikachu and a jynx and they weren't on the "nearby chart"
Just helping out other fellow trainers

So annoying second day in a row not able to log in at all. On Galaxy S7.
Anyone? I don't want to keep generating 2 step verification codes for Google

Looks like the game worked when America was commuting. But now that America is home and trying to log in it's dead.
How do you find lure modules?

Some lower CP Pokemon have better moves, it's up to you.
It wasn't working for hours when America was at work, but now that America is home and not walking around its working.

I can't take over this gym. -.-
I'm battling slowly but the fucker won't die. I force quit the game and redid the battle twice. Still glitched.

I have a park down my street that has 9 pokecenters and 2 gyms. The park is maybe 0.5 acre so you can stand in the middle and reach almost everything.

Do LURE modules attract rarer or more frequent Pokemon than eggs?
I usually get 5 pokemon from an egg but last time it was like 4 ratata and a pidgey

How much of an impact does CP make? I've been transferring my lower CP/better moveset Pokémon on the assumption that CP is more valuable, but I really have no idea.
I don't understand. What eggs attract Pokémon?
Is the only thing that matters with moves power?

It's crazy how many people are playing this. My girlfriend and I have run into multiple groups of people playing it and are discussing strategies with a couple at a restaurant right now.
My evening stroll was a moderate success. I got two new catches and a new evolution, being Nidoran Male, Gastly, and Jolteon (who is now my strongest fighter). I bolstered a nearby gym and found out I now have an underling, who uses a Drowzee. I got a brief peek at the other half of town, and it looks like complete Instinct domination here. Where's the competition, people? Got another 5K egg, and the other one I have is about 70% hatched. And as a sweet finisher, I found a fellow player who was looking for a nearby Raticate. I just caught one, so I pointed out the location to him. Woohoo!

Bro I think once that Raticate was caught, it was caught for good

Same. It would really help out people that can only find common grass or bug types and what not. If we had all generations we could have over 10 early bug types alone instead of 2.
So do you need to be in battle in order to use potions or something? I was in some gym battles earlier and can't figure out how to restore their hp.
Coolest pokemon I captured thus far has been Hitmonchan.
Current Unicorn appears to be a Wartortle hidden in the park near me. I tried to track it down by walking all around after working out, but I just couldn't find it. I have a feeling it's stuck behind this fence of the park that you can't access or down along the beach. I'll investigate more this weekend if the spawn zones don't change.
I noticed I couldn't find any pokemon near my house over 50cp even though I am lvl 6 or 7 now. At work I found a higher volume of pokemon and they were much higher cp.

Spent today running into town when the servers worked - snagged 4 of the six gyms I could find. The last two are owned by a blue scrub who stuck a CP23 Charmander and a CP73 Eevee on them, I went to capture one but got hit by the 1hp bug. 
Does anybody know how exactly leveling and evolving works? Basic experimentation has me thinking the amount of dust you spend is based on how filled the half-circle at the top is, but if anyone's figured out how it works exactly (and whether it's more efficient to evolve right away or not) that would be sweet. Apologies if this has already been answered, only skimmed the last page or two.

If I just keep the app open on my counter, will Pokemon randomly come to me?
It's dark out and I am scare.

Blue is taking over my entire city!
Nobody is picking yellow. Everyone knows Zapdos is the best, though.

I really want to play this, and I thought my city would be decent sized enough, but all the PokeStops within a few miles of me are in weird places that you can't just wander into to play a cell phone game (military armory, hospitals...) and I'm not going to drive crosstown to poke a few points on a virtual map...
I wish there was some way to suggest local landmarks. There's a shopping center and a few parks within walking distance but there's "nothing" in them.
I guess Gyms don't have the range requirement Stops do, as long as you can see them on your map? I'm only Level 4, so I can't be sure.

I'm taking an opposite approach where I'm refusing to catch Pokemon in towns now unless I'm in a nature area.I just think it's stupid that I woke up this morning to 5 pokemon in my bedroom, but that I can go on a hike for hours and only see 3 pokemon.

I have no idea on either of these points. I think CP might increase the power of moves? No clue though.
Move powerful specials tend to take longer to charge though, and you also have to consider type effectiveness.
They have a range requirement.

Don't get too close to that Lickitung in your room after what he did to Cloyster
Just had this happen to me. But I was suddenly logged out just after, so it might just be (yet another) server issue.
I see
Man, this game, once it gets all its problems worked out, could be really fun. It already makes me want to explore around my entire city, lol. Already went around for about 3 hours catching pokemon and getting pokestops.
Also, I find it weird that some neighborhoods have pokestops at their marquees but others don't. The neighborhood next to mine has one, but my own doesn't :/

Should I wait until I have enough candy to evolve it, or should I use the candy on upgrading when I have the chance?

I've evolved before anything else.
There doesn't appear to be any reason to not just evolve asap vs leveling.

A server issue I think. I always force stop the app and just restart it.

CP cap is based on your player level not your Pokemon though.
