I went outside so I finally got to see what kind of Pokemon I could get. I ended up getting about a half dozen Pokemon while visiting four PokeSpots along the way. My yields were 14 PokeBalls and 2 Eggs. I have one in the incubator and eggs take 5 km to hatch. I can't seem to put the other in the incubator so I guess I'll have to take these one at a time. Really want to hit Level 5 so I can battle gyms.

How did you get those eggs?

When you get close enough to a PokeSpot, you spin the little disk in the center and you get items. Sometimes you'll get only PokeBalls, other times you can get an egg with it.

I had a lot of fun playing this today! Caught up with a friend and forced her to get the app with me, and we went around the river near my house and caught quite a few Pokemon!

In one day I managed to find 62 pokemon, 6 eggs, and get to level 6! Most of the gyms around my area are taken by me now heheh! It's extremely fun for now, I hope the eggs can hatch even if you walk with the app not running

Kinda annoyed I only found out about this just as I was about to leave university and only had time just to redownload the game. Looking to be able to find as close to the original 150 as I can and beat my original catch count of 85 Pokemon during the beta.

Since it was night time I was able to catch a lot of Zubat, so I could start getting it ready to evolve into a golbat (and then ended up catching one any way). I currently have 9 pokemon in my team and still siting on level four:



Unfortunately not going out tomorrow, but will hopefully be catching more and taking over gyms on Friday.

Does anyone know how to battle or trade with players? Does it need to be in a pokestop?
You can't battle trainers in Pokemon GO. Only exception would be if a trainer left their Pokemon at a gym, and you'd have to battle that Pokemon there - but there is no PVP. Trading is something that is still to come in the future and has currently not been implemented yet.

PokeStops are only used to get items (pokeballs, revives, potions and eggs) and to attract pokemon with a Lure Module.

The game asked me to go to a nearby pokestop, which happens to be a mosque. I can't go there, this is ridiculous.
There's no other pokestop I see in the map. HOW DO I PROGRESS!?

PokeStops will be located at select places near you, such as historical markers, monuments, and art installations.
If you're located in a place that is either more rural or home within the suburbs, you're less likely to find pokestops there than if you're in a city or town. You'll have to keep moving around until you find some.

My nearest pokestop is a 'Gospel Hall'. I didn't have to go in there to access it though, so in theory you should be able to just walk past to use it, unless that's not physically possible.

Caught an Eevee when I was out which really surprised me! Also just found a random wild Squirtle. I'm having a hard time evolving anything. You need Pokémon Candy, right? But how do you get more?
If you want to evolve your eevee, just catch more eevee! You get three candy for catching an eevee and at least one more eevee candy when you transfer it. Not 100% sure about the full release numbers though because it was originally that catching one pokemon = one candy & one candy for transfer, but people have been telling me they're getting three now.

Candy from the same evolution line will also work - (catching a medapod, you can still use it's candy to evolve a caterpie or a medapod).

Went for a walk and managed to catch a Pidgey and Drowzee which was pretty cool. I haven't really had much time to properly use it yet but I'm looking forward to discovering more Pokemon around my area!

I have had quite the eventfulll first day!

Installed this app together with my brother, after that, we needed to do some shopping in a nearby city.
Caught around 43 pokémons, including Dratini, Staryu, Magickarp (for that potential) and Slowbro.

After that, went back to my own town, caught some extra mons, and then proceeded to claim 2 gyms, and setting it up.

When the other people in our town start the game, there will be 4 different gyms the can challenge:
-The Staryu Gym (AKA library), owned by us. Basicly 2 high level staryus.
-The noob Gyms (AKA central square), owned by us. 2 trash pokémons on it, so people have an easy first challenge
-The Raticate gym (AKA train station), owned by someone else.
-Unknown gym, was too far away.

Having a lot of fun with the game so far!

Current team setup:
- Dratini
- Pidgeotto
- Staryu
- Koffing
- Ratata (with dig)
- Slowbro

Caught a caterpie before the servers went down. Wasn't planning on heading out today, but it ends up that I have to anyone. I've been assuming since the first release was only suppose to be for Japan/ Aus/ NZ, they weren't expecting people to get their hands on it from USA/UK - that's why the servers are down? That or they're preparing for the rest of the world to release~

Had heaps of fun with this yesterday! Was at a summit for work and a bunch of us were catching Pokemon from uni to a restaurant in the city lol. Took a while to work out how to catch Pokemkn though haha. Best catches so far are Pinsir and Ekans imo. Almost at Lv 5 so can check out like the rest of the game lol. Only issue is the app reaaaally drains battery life.

Despite the servers being down I was able to log on and choose my starter, haven't been able to log on since I closed the app though. It's so cool seeing some places in my town identified as PokeStops. Well it's almost midnight here in the UK and with the servers being down I'll have to wait until the morning to explore further. Tomorrow's gonna be a great day :)

Started the app, went through a few names I wanted to use but of course they were taken agh. What else should I have expected.

Named myself JannaSheep and begun my Pokmon adventure with Bulbasaur! Caught Zubat and Spearow in my room, then Koffing downstairs. Then I decided to brave the heat and go outside despite there being a severe heat warning. :D Used up an incense and found a few Rattata but the game froze trying to catch them each time. Servers are really unstable atm, gonna try again tomorrow cause I can barely connect right now.
