A random browsing session on Twitter taught me 2 things about the game:
1. Goldust is a fan, His first catch was a Charmander he named FireAss.
2. If #pokemongo isn't capitalized, I read it as Poke Mongo which I find amusing.

Hey, quick bug question, guys. So I got to level 5, so I went to a gym. It gave me the options to sign up for a team. I didn't sign up for a team, because I got busy, so I quit out of the app. I turned the app back on and had to log back in. Now it's showing no Pokemon around me, when there were a lot a few minutes ago, the ones I caught are not in my list (though the journal says I did capture them), and everything else is also gone. My Pokeballs, my stats, everything. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix it?

Liked the original seasons of the anime, but never played any of the games. What do you know, my little brother just came in my room talking to me about it, asking me if I had heard about it. He's never played a Pokémon game in his life either that I know of. I may download this later.

Never f***ed with the cards. Sorta liked the series. And really didn't dig the games but convinced my GF to get it and the last two days have basically just been Pokemon hunting.
It's ridiculously fun. We got a Pikachu today and almost got a Charmander but were out of poke balls.
she's got like..60-something. Anyone got tips on generally anything?

I know nothing about Pokemon. My friends love it, so I figured I'd give this a try. It's pretty cool. I caught 11 total. My fiancé wanted to go to Jo-Ann Fabrics today, so I got to walk around and look for Pokemon while she looked for fabric and thread, haha.

Hopefully the server issues get fixed soon. I caught a Horsea at the park near my house, then the server went kerpluff before it could be confirmed.
EDIT: No, it didn't, I did get Horsea.

Not really about the game, but...if I were to want to understand Pokemon, what would I have to watch, read, or do?
I was looking into the TV show. Are all the seasons necessary? Are they all available to stream somewhere? I know Netflix has some of the episodes from the first season. Unless the numbers on Wikipedia are wrong...

The show doesn't really go by game logic, but the first season is a good way to get a briefer on kanto pokemon (which are the only ones available in pokemon go right now). I recommend checking out serebii.net. They're the best source of pokemon info and you can pick out what things you want to learn about pokemon (video games, card game, anime, manga, or just the pokemon themselves) and they got some guides for pokemon go up now.

But I've been following pokemon since the gameboy days. So if you got any questions, feel free to ask me! I'd be happy to help out.

After one day I've got Squirtle, Pidgey, Eevee, Kakuna, Zubat, Paras, Venonat, Rattata, Weedle, Goldeen, Krabby, Spearow, Caterpie, and Poliwag. Not a bad haul. I'm finally up to level 5 and live near some gyms so I'll check that out tomorrow.
Living on a college campus is cool because there are a ton of Poke Stops and gyms nearby.

I think that when I get through some other shows, I'll check out the TV series since that's the easiest thing for me to get to. I'll consult that website along the way.

Caught a level 570 Arcanine. Learned how to use the lure at a Pokemon stop and have begun evolving my original Pokemon I've caught. This game is awesome

Damn those rumours about players (potentially) being banned for downloading the APK in countries where it hasn't been officially released yet. The rumours don't seem real, yet also doesn't seem worth the risk, decisions, decisions.

So you pretty much just pick a favorite one and feed it Stardust and candy? When you get like 50 of the same kind, transfer them and evolve that one you chose you like?
And I have no clue about battling. Everything is higher CP than me and always will be. So what is the point in attempting a gym battle?

Took another two hour walk today, less successful haul. I hatched a Growlithe better than the one I already had. Caught a Goldeen, Poliwhirl, then immediately a Poliwrath, Gastly, Magikarp, Staryu and a Slowpoke.

It seems like people always have to mess with something fun...people are already using lures to get people to come to pokestops so they can rob them...THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!!

Know nothing about this (thought about trying though) but got a nice laugh as it seems my local VFD is somehow a gym(?) and kids have been wondering in and looking for Pokemon with the people on duty.
