I've nearly walked myself to death since this thing was released and I've been able to catch 5 (counting 1 of the 3 it initially 'gives' you).
At this rate, I should catch them all sometime after the release of the iPhone 18.

I just got home to discover there's three stops right near my apartment building (but not close enough that I could use them from here) and people keep seeding them with lure modules. Sorry, battery life. (But seriously, there were about eight cars parked in that area, which is a Catholic school, and a bunch of people wandering around there. It was equal parts hilarious and endearing.) So I actually started seriously playing it on my walk home tonight and now I have a shitload of flying types (four Pidgeys, five Spearows, four Zubats and a Pidgeot, for starters). What can I do with them? (Although my strongest Pokemon are a 162 CP Jynx, a 120 Paras and a 110 Clefairy. Should I take shots at a gym where the leader has a 250+ CP... something?)

I was down to my last Pokeball and a coworker told be to go downtown after work because there was a metric shit ton of PokeStops. She wasn't kidding. In 15 minutes I went from 1 ball to over 100.

my feet.....are so sore........
I live downtown in a college town so i have in a four block radius about 15 pokestops and I just lap them over and over, by time I finish the lap the first ones have reset. It's a blessing and a curse.

For you more frugal-minded trainers, it's being said that if you tap the pokéball after botching the throw, you can retrieve it.
Not personally verified, so take with grain of salt.

I don't get the whole "Pokémon" fad. All I know is that, after seeing it all over my Facebook feed, it's gotten really annoying.

It's been an international phenomenon/top selling video game series/Nintendo's bloodline for two decades strong now. Not quite slap bracelets or pet rocks.

Yeah at this point a lot of kids that are into Pokémon learned about it from their parents...heck almost everyone I've seen playing PoGo are in their 20's and 30's.

So much different then pogs....Nintendo makes millions maybe even billions a year off Pokémon. The franchise has been around for 20 years at this point and still going strong.
