it's only supposed to be available in australia Not true anymore its on the us Android and IOS stores now It's not helped by the work around for region locking being so easily found and shared causing server overload by people wanting to play while it's not available in their country. Had three people playing it in my store yesterday even though it isn't out in the UK.

Had three people playing it in my store yesterday even though it isn't out in the UK. That's absolutely true as well....but that could have been easily solved by a defined global release date....Niantic just wasn't prepared.... Quietly with no fanfare dropping a highly anticipated game in only two countries then not saying a damn thing....not the smartest move ever. They dropped in in New Zealand and Australia.... Then sent an update to the US beta testers....this has got to be one of the worst high profile game launches ever.

There's no way I can get Pokemon Go due to data space. That or delete every app I have on the thing and that's not going to happen. :l

People got ridiculously good at this quickly. Won a gym last night with a level 153 Growlithe. At lunch today, that same gym is ran by a cp 650 Primape. Yikes.

I love how the White House is a gym protected by a Pokemon named Merica.
If only there was a "GYM TRAINER BARACK wants to fight!" message.

Today, I caught 2 Pidgeys, Weedle, Caterpie, Spearow, and Raticate. Not bad for a first day.
Also, the local grocery store is a gym. Guess I've been a trainer for a couple years and I never knew it.

I love working in New York City, kindly players across the city all using those group lures. I caught tons of good stuff just walking around my office today.

Wasted 25-30 pokeballs last night trying to get a Golbat. Just got it with 2. By far my best Pokemon so far, followed by Paras & Nidoran male.

So it turns out a bunch of my coworkers also play this game, so we frequently take walks in groups catching whatever pokemon we find.
We even joined the same team (Mystic) and took over our closest gym. Of course, we eventually got beaten out by people who obviously slack off more than we do.

When it comes to evolving, is it best to power up first or evolve, then power up?

My best is a 472 Flareon, and I just picked up a mid-60s Abra that is going to be a pain to level up, and a 166 Pikachu. Walking around is more fun than I thought it would be, but I'm still really mad about the complete lack of battling. But it is the first week.

I got home to find Rapidash, Omanyte and Jynx hanging out.
And I had one pokeball left. :/

I may have bitten off more than i can chew. I created a Pokemon Go Pub Crawl and it has blown up! I may be in some trouble

Bastard Aerodactyl takes me on a hunt into the heart of Hoboken, escapes my Pokeball and runs away. I'm glad Charizard punked you out like a bitch in the cartoon.

The end is nigh. Think that's shopped... though I doubt places are happy about people coming into their businesses to track down invisible animals
