Pokémon Go!

There's a pokestop across the road from me , but it's a Girl Guide's hall. Could be a bit embarrassing hanging about there.

I've got a Pokestop just outside my flat. If I sit in the right spot on the sofa I can get stuff from it every five minutes.

Threw down some insense that I got and caught about 5 from my sofa. I take it I can join a team once I reach level 5? Maybe I need to read a beginners guide to this!

You should have joined a team when you signed up. But you can use gyms once you hit Level 5.

[Keith Houchen]

Ah shit, so I'm going to be a ronin forever? Better get a tshirt so people know who I am.

[SpursRiot2012]

You don't join a team when you sign up. You can't join until you hit level five when you click on a gym for the first time.

I couldn't join s a team until u I was level 5, so you should be fine Keith.

 

Edit- Jobber got there first

The Local Primary School is a Pokegym, the post office is a gym. and i have 15 pokestops near me... At the local church they put on refreshments and seats out for people to come and use the Pokestop.

 

I had 2 kids yesterday ask me what gym I was and they helped me out with what i'm supposed to be doing. Its fantastic.

Started playing last night — went out to the shops, and suddenly found myself 6 blocks away with a couple of new pokemon. Had to take the bus to work this morning, I've now got a ridiculous amount of pretty much everything — have a 5km egg on the cook, so I think I'll be cycling around at lunchtime checking out the environment.

 

Aside from that, I don't know nowt about the game. Any idea about a good idiot's guide?

Thanks! Just discovered that depending on where the phone decides it is, I'm in a confluence of two pokestops, and they seem to constantly have lures on them because of all the Wall Street types playing. I had to turn the game off, because it was just constant — I was getting a new pokemon every ten seconds or so, I've already transferred out about 12 zubats. I know what I'm doing at lunchtime, and I don't think I even need to go out to do it.

The pub directly opposite my house is a Pokestop, though it actually closed about five months ago, so I doubt the former landlord - who still lives above it - is particularly thrilled. The Mormon church at the end of the street is one too, though I'm scared to approach that one because they'll already have some super-sneaky way to convert everyone, like the time they had two really attractive American girls banging on my door trying to get me to convert.

 

Anyway, I got bored of this after about two days, with only a Weedle and Rattata to my name other than my starter Charmander. Might just go out into the woods later this evening though and see what rocks up.

Getting really frustrated with the fact that everytime I put the phone in my pocket with the battery saver mode enabled, when I take it back out after a couple minutes, the minimap has frozen and I can't press anything so I have to reboot the app (at which point, the pokemon that was there is often no longer about).
