I didnt play computer much today.. I was outside all the day... playing Pokemon GO on my phone.... I caught so muuuch Pokemon and everything ahahah... this app is the dream.. unfortunately, not available in Canada.. I had to backdoor to get it in US google store =) (well my bro did it and gave me the apk lol).. Good game.. finally the game i was dreaming to play when I was kid is available! I can roam my city and catch pokemons and defeat gym leaders and become a gym leader myself.. soooo much addictive! Walked 5h today.. probably did around 15km on my feet! if you ever needed a good reason to get out and walk, get Pokemon Go lol.. it's so ridiculous.. now i'll wake my 2h every evening to catch pokemons! XD

That's cool you are going around so much to find different ones I have it as well but I don't really ever leave my house ... the whole walking thing ... Caught a handful from my house and I see there is a gym kind of close that maybe is playable from the house, I'm not sure, think I have to be a higher level to play it. Anyways it seems like people are having fun with it ... on the local reddit there's a post for people to gather and walk around together playing Don't expect it will stay on my phone very long but I like the pokemon games so I figured I'd at least check it out.

Played this weekend with my kids. Had lots of fun and saw maybe 20-30 others kids doing the same thing. Great idea, but unfortunately just pidgey, and weedle around me here. No gyms in my neighborhood. Will have to go exploring in the bigger city next door.

Lots of pidgey and ratatata when I play from my house, but I caught one of the 3 starter pokemon at some point ... I have two of them but don't remember which I picked at the start. The only other cool ones I have are a Gloom and a Drowzee. wooo pokemans!
EDIT: Right after I hit post I caught a squirtle so now I have all of the 3 main ones!!!

Here's something I found out today:
If you take all the extra crappy pokemon you catch and transfer them to the professor, you get a candy, which you can use to evolve that pokemon when you have enough. So even if you already have one of that pokemon you should still catch other ones that pop up, then click on them in your list of pokemon and hit the transfer button at the bottom to get the candy. Then when you have enough you can evolve them! I did this with pidgey and ratata earlier.

So:
Catching a pokemon - 100 stardust - 3 candies for that specy - 100xp + bonus xp for good throws
Evolving: - 500 xp
Discovering a new pokemon : - 500xp (no matter if its from catching or evolving)
Xp needed to level up Level up needed to unlock: - Gym at lvl 5 - new items in pokestops - New pokemons - Free items (directly in inventory)
Stardust needed - train pokemoms (amount vary)
Candies needed - Train pokemons (amount vary) - Evolve pokemon (amount vary but usually, pokemons with 1 evolution are 25 or 50 candies and pokemons with 2 evolutions, first evolution is 12 candies and second evolution is 50)

No gyms in my neighborhood. Will have to go exploring in the bigger city next door. Because you are low level Leveling up will unlock new pokemons. True i live in a big city and we have almost 10 pokestops that i can visit in 15 minutes lol. I know spawn rates are bigger where there is more people but its supposed you can get all pokemons around.

Just lvl4 so far. Looks like a bit more work to unlock some gyms. LOTS of kids walking around here...might be too late to catch up to the hours they are investing while I am away working!

At least, gyms are per team.. at level 5, you'll have to chose a team (blue, red or yellow).. and if your team get a gym, if there is an empty spot, you can grab it even if you are low player (and get the reward from it). Sure it's harder for people not playing alot but at least you have a chance. I'm level 10 even if i was playing like 3h for 2 days.. but alot teen or people having spare time playing more than me are higher than this. I guess it's not a big deal. Isnt the goal to catch them all after all? And no one will stop you from this! Not even if you are not able to get spot in gyms ever. Because for now, we cannot fight with our pokemons against other players. It's only against gyms. So at least, if you play for the fun to roam around and catch em all, you'll be able to do it and no need to rush.

So, a video game designed to get kids off the couch and outside? We can't unplug them to get them to be active, so we get then active by plugging then into an active game? Brilliant!

I read about a guy yesterday who's house used to be a church, and with this game churches get marked as a landmark to go to. So the guy has people showing up at his house at all hours playing this game Needless to say he is not a fan of Pokemon GO.

Unfortunately the 'lets go outside and walk' might disappear - there's things out there now that allow you to walk around the game without...uhm...actually walking (external software).

I've thought about finding ways to trick the game into thinking I'm elsewhere, its not very easy for me to walk all around catching these things.
Oh yeah and I think you asked me how many I've caught so far yesterday Quick ... I have 27 (no repeats, each a separate pokeman)

For sure some lame people will find a trick. I wont. I have too much fun playing legit

Seems like another kind of sciatica. 2 in few years is really bad luck. Cannot walk much, hurts too much. Ill go see a doctor specialized for feet on friday. :$

Not active over here yet... never watched Pokemon, so I barely know what it is about, BUT I do know -don't we all?- about the risks of not concentrating in what you are doing for answering a whatsapp... I hope adults control the use of this game for kids, I can clearly figure a kid crossing the street to catch a pokemon in red light. Sorry to be the spoiler, but take care of yourselves and of your kids. good fellas... not any game is worth dying for... (except those that can be played by two adults, champagne, melted chocolate and John Coltrane as soundtrack... that's always worth dying for)

People dont need Pokemon Go to cross street on a red light. They already do that with tons of other apps. And if they are that careless, they deserve to be hit by a car lol. Come on, are human beings that dumb those days that we have to restrict apps because people lacks comon sense? Problem is not the phones or the apps, problem is all about a lack of education. And maybe the fact that they get everything without doing any efforts.. Technology is far of making people better, in fact, all the opposite is happening.. New generations are not smarter, they are more dumb, lack comon sense and are clueless about solving more and more everyday's tasks without being told how.

I love how new articles come out on a daily basis bashing Pokemon Go - it's like, the same incidents can happen if you're distracted. The problem isn't the app they're using, it's their own lack of awareness of their surrounding! The same can arise if you use facebook/angrybirds/etc or any other app for that matter.

Plus when you start the app, this is what you see first: How many apps do that? This is the first one I had so far. True I'm not really using my phone while walking to avoid accidents but.. really, I never seen one before. Pokemon Go is doing nothing more wrong and not putting more people in danger than any other apps or phones or gadgets we already have. It's just people massively rush the street to play it but most of those people were already doing this on a daily basis with other apps. So yeah, pretty much, keep educate your kids as you would have always done.. and if they dont listen to you, may they rest in peace lol...

So you guys work for the app developers and earn some cash out if it? Hahahah sorry, just messing with ya. Nevertheless I think you might have miss read what I posted: If I was someone who give things special powers, I would being called a warlock hahahaha Lol Childhood went away long enough for me. Now I just blame people, thus I was giving an advice. So you guys should just read again what I posted and you'll realize I said the same exact thing you guys have pointed out about just beinfgg careful, thats all. And have fun catching those things while you step out of the subway... Muaaahahhaa

I mean, you seemed to do like alot of people and say this app is MORE DANGEROUS than any other before. This is something we hear alot in the news those days and it's absolutely not true. This app is doing nothing more than other apps before. Maybe it brings more people outside. But people already are not paying attention when walkin in the street playing on their phones. It's not worse than before, it's just the same but people seem to enjoy to blame pokemon go for it and it's pretty hilarious to me. By the way, yes we got paid by Niantic.. well.. as far as I know, Quick did.. *whistling* .... i just hope he didnt got a bigger check >:/
