People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
I can't even really play the game because it refuses to load into the game on mobile data for some reason (a mobile game might need to use mobile data to load???) and I have to use wi-fi to load in and then go out hunting but if the game crashes (and it will) I am hosed and can't get back in until I locate more wi-fi

what is wrong with this poo poo

Walked from work to lunch and back. Every time I ran into a Pokemon and I would catch it the game would freeze forcing me to kill and re-open the app. The captured Pokemon would be there so I wasn't losing anything But that was annoying.

Also this poo poo needs Apple Watch support. I don't want to buy that dumb dongle.

Ive yet to be able to log in with my restaurants lovely wifi but can constantly use 4g to log in. Maybe its your service provider? Or maybe the mobile service providers near you are themselves getting blown up with traffic.

I'm very interested to see what the pokestop/gym situation is like when PG is available in Canada. If Ingress is any indication, I should have plenty to do. There's about 40-50 Ingress portals within a 10 minute walk of home, so even if half of those are used in PG, then it should keep me busy.

Can you log in from multiple devices? Fiance's coworkers are trying to take over the flatiron building, can she log into her phone as me and help or does the game get confused if you're in two places at once?

It's the same thing as people fighting over restaurants in Foursquare, it's fun to win things in the "real" world rather than just in the regular Pokémon games. I just wish that you could actually train the Pokémon and do actual fights, but that might be too complicated

At the very least, this game is an amazing proof of concept for a full on AR GPS-based Pokemon game.

Really right now the main problem is Niantic's platform is pretty limited. At the end of the day this game is a reskinned Ingress, but imagine something built from the ground up. Of course, copyright problems might ensure Niantic's involvement.

Darn. But that makes sense. I downloaded it in the parking lot at work and have been puttering around all day until about an hour and a half ago. Everything was going great until then.

Unless I'm burning incense, the only pokemon I've seen have been hanging out around fast food joints. wtf is up with that.

They evolve into one of three different forms (electric, fire, or water). The game chooses randomly, and apparently the evolved forms are available to catch too.

In the original games it was based on evolution stones, and they added more evolutions with each generation (there are like 7 now), so when they add newer Pokemon they may do that too.

Eevee is one of the few pokemon (the only pokemon in the game currently) that has branching evolutions. In the regular games, you can evolve Eevee into Jolteon (electric type), Flareon (fire type), and Vaporeon (Water type) using the corresponding evolutionary stone items, but in Go it's just random which one it becomes when you evolve it. Also it's pretty rare.

idk how it's going to work in this version, but in the main Pokemon games Eevee can evolve into several forms instead of just the one. Originally it was just three - Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon. I forget what the two other ones are called that came in gen 3 or 4

Got a pikachu out of it as well, so it seems there can be some decent stuff in them.

Now if only the servers would come back so I could register the last 700m needed for my 10km egg

Don't worry, that's only because they're doing a staggered release in different regions. Once its readily available worldwide we should have full round-the-clock server outage.

I have far, far more eggs than I can reasonably hatch. Does it count the distance based on GPS or steps? Because I need to go grab a citi bike and do laps in the park to get these 5KMs out.

ya, I've hatched four 2.0 eggs, and with the exception of the Pikachu, they were all Zubats.

Then again, you get a lot of candy from hatching, it seems.
