Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?

When does it ask you for team affiliation, anyway? I made my dude and picked Charmander as my starter. Do you need to be level 5 to pick a side and interact with the gyms?

Team Blue supremacy (Pokemon Blue was the first Pokemon game I owned, natch)

You got to pick your starter? I made my dude and it put me in the world and there was a Bulbasaur sitting on my desk at work. Figured you got something random.

After Professor Willow talked to me, I was surrounded by Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, and could pick which one I tapped on to "challenge" and catch.

Yep, at level 5 you can pick your team and also do all the gym stuff. It's great because right now every gym is empty so I just plop a pidgey in each one and move to the next.

So goddamned excited to get home and run around to do this. I'm sure Philadelphia will probably have quite a bit more activity, especially downtown, though technically without it being released yet we'll see.

I'm sure Philly will be pretty crazy with the amount of gyms. I might check out DC today depending what time I get off work. Would be pretty cool to be the first gym leader of the Washington Monument gym, etc. Haha

It's highly likely that it's not released in your country yet. Check the playstore page of the game with your phone and it will display the correct error message.

The error message is that the game boots the logo splash screen, then goes to a grey screen. Also there's a ton of posts on r/pokemongo and various articles that mention that it straight up doesn't work with Android N, not to mention a bunch of Play store reviews.

Sadly the best thing on ANY platform like that right now is Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE for the Wii U on hard. The only thing I've played on Android recently that comes close is Brave Exvius (wherein a $600 phone chugs on large tilemaps that an SNES can handle no problem) but it's more gatchathon than RPG. There ARE the old Dragon Warrior games (I think DQ1 is like $1, or I got it on sale or something?) if you want to go literal.

Yeah on my phone it says "not available in your country", on the web it gives me this ("not available in your country for this device" in the dropdown after pressing install lol) and if I just install the APK I get the aforementioned grey screen of death.

Zoom! Swish! Bang!
I'm looking for a multiplayer game to play with family and friends that has more "clan" interaction than just donating things. Asynchronous play is a must, since we span time zones and school/work lives. Co-op isn't necessary, but I do personally prefer it.

To give some context, some kids and adults in my extended family have been playing Clash of Clans for a while now. The clan war mechanic is a really fun way to be involved with my nephews beyond impersonal card donations and stuff. We do a bit of strategizing, cheer each other on, all work toward a goal (winning the war), etc. But the game has become enough of a grind outside of wars that the kids are less interested these days.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for, but any suggestions are welcome!

According to Pocket Gamer UK, the following Kemco games are not bad.

Symphony of Eternia
Symphony of the Origin
Eve of the Genesis
Covenant of Solitude

Kemco has, like, 20 different RPGs that they've come out with. I got almost all of them through a Humble Bundle, but I've only dabbled in a few. I'm always impressed at the amount of care that is put into them, regardless of how good they actually are. I remember playing, like, 10 minutes of Symphony of the Origin when it first came out and I remember it being pretty good, but I moved on pretty quickly. For whatever reason, I've tried to play a ton of RPGs on my phone and regardless of quality, I just tend to lose interest. Final Fantasy Dimensions is good (and expensive) and I really liked it, but I just ended up playing, I dunno, some Skinner Box poo poo anyway.

Other poo poo... Doom and Destiny is goofy, but okay. I actually hung in there with this one and I'm almost at the end, but the random battles end up being a huge pain in the rear end after a certain point (you can't just auto-attack through them, they take some effort, which sucks when they are relatively frequent).

Edit: Apparently Asdivine Hearts is good, too, and you can get it for $3 along with a whole bunch of other mobile games here.

I'm in a town that you probably can't find on a map in North Carolina and there's a gym down the road from my subdivision and 2 Pokestops between my place and the McDonald's. You'll have something, I promise.

Game is back up and there seems to be a spawn point directly in my back yard, and a Tauros was chilling in my yard. loving awesome.

Looks like Pokémon GO has launched in the US. This afternoon, it wasn't compatable with any of my devices, and now it's compatible with my LG running Android 4.4.4, but still not with my Nexus 7 running Android 5.

Also, thread for it.
