Servers are a fucking joke. All day yesterday not being able to get in. All day today not able to get in. 3 am this morning? No worries, fire away there even though you're i the middle of nowhere and there are no stops or Pokemon anywhere

Apparently Canada came on board today and that's been the real issue with the servers and extra load.  The ddos attacks were yesterday, no word on them still going on today that I've seen.

Or just get out and you know, enjoy the scenery instead of swiping at pokemon xD

I am in Australia though, so we've had the game for a week longer.

It's a true phenomenon that gets old very fast.

Unless they plan on making battling/gyms a lot more fun than it is right now, I can't see how more than 1-2% of players will continue playing after level 20.

I've been getting out on my bike and riding much further now, got a mobile phone/gps holder for my handlebars and just go.  Hit 6 pokestops about every 10 minutes and just keep doing the circuit.

Got the full complement of 780+ evolved Eevee's now, so going to start taking the fight to some gyms around here.  There's a gym an easy bike ride away that's my team, their lowest is like 129cp and highest is maybe 650?  Time to start stacking coins and buying lucky eggs and incubators ;D

Here's a good power saving tip.

When you're walking around and don't need to look at your phone, turn it upside down and it dims to nearly black, while still running.

I didn't know if that was common knowledge, as I've only just found out myself ;D

I tried this earlier, but every time I did it, my screen froze :/

I could see the trainer moving, so it was live and working but I couldn't touch anything or activate any of the stops or catch any Pokemon! Had to restart the app several times and restart the phone too!

I think people will try to catch all 150; it's not just about levels etc.

Will be interesting to see if they introduce trades, it will take a while otherwise. Like football stickers, there will be one fucker you never get.

I found cycling didn't account for any distance covered with the incubators

And what colour of the map do you find them in more frequently? e.g. dark green, light green etc. I walked the dog last night for 90 minutes and nothing at all came up

I went to the local cemetery last night, because it has about twenty stops. The roads through it are wide enough for two cars. There is one place, where there are five stops in close proximity, about two minutes walk and you can hit all five. Someone had put lures on three of them, and I was walking between them, catching loads. But there were about ten other people, just sitting in their cars, the lazy fuckers. It's funny, a couple of weeks ago would have meant it was a dogging spot.

Electrabuzz, Slowpoke and Dratini all lost to the fuckin freezing ball bug, first time I've seen any of them aswell... at least before it was still registering when this happened. Be nice if the developers let on that they're bothering to fix the multitude of bugs.

No matter what I do I can't ever have a battle at a gym. My GPS jumps around too much and it quits out of the fight :( In 10 days and a lot of attempts I've managed to complete 2 rounds in total. Wish they'd make it less strict about your positioning, I can't be the only one with shite GPS?

Basically had to give up on fighting. Still having fun catching them though, got a Growlithe today with 400 CP, which was nice

Thats how I got my three :-D

Apparently have to be under 15mph for distance to count, I usually only get distance added between my high intensity intervals when I rest, but then again I am putting in like 25 miles whenI go out.  Eventually adds up

Try changing your gps from device only to high accuracy or vice versa if in android, dunno about IOS.  Had this happen at one gym I found that is at a boat landing under a major bridge, only thing I can figure is the big bridge was interfering.

I have noticed this only happens when you are moving while trying to capture and they end up outside of your radius.  Sometimes they are still captured though, wait about 10 seconds after the ball freezes before forcing the app to close, then check your journal when you come back, might be caught

Started noticing the pokemon have started darting more often the last 2 days if you move outside the radius and they bust out.

Most decent Pokemon I've found seem to be in a city, outside where I live it's just the same old Pidgey/Weevil etc. would be nice if some rare ones turned up out of the way in the 'green areas' instead always by a road.

You'd hope they'd fix the nearly game breaking bugs like server crashes, tracking being broken, freezes during pokeball attempts and gyms being dodgy before launching in another major market to crash the servers even harder but yeah...

Finally evolved my Poliwrath  8) Absolute beast he is, defo gonna be taking down some gyms now.

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Do the more rare ones show up the higher level you are?  I have evolved a couple and upgraded them.  I went past a gym the other day and the person holding it (I think ) has something like 1500 CP.  I've got one over 100 and I'm made up at level 5.

Level 10 and I think the highest I've caught was 300-odd CP. Definitely seeing a wider variety, but still a lot of rats and pidgeys.
