Pokemon GO Thread!

Howdy! I've just managed to download Pokémon GO in the U.K., using a workaround and I'm SO EXCITED OMG I CANNOT HOLD IT IN ANYMORE!

I thought I'd start a Pokémon GO thread so that we can all share our tips, tricks and achievements :)

I'll start off with this funny status I found...

Attachment 24883

Just using this as a placeholder (Have a few ideas).

I just downloaded Pokemon GO yesterday have yet to go out and walk around but I've already caught 5 Pokemon I look forward to go out and catch some more

So many people have died and been injured while using this app already. Be careful out there!

Example: http://www.cartelpress.com/pokemon-g...catch-pikachu/

I swear I am going to get a new phone soon because mine can't run bigger games without crashing.

Then I can put my lockpicking skills to the test. >;)

But yeah, the police department near me put out a notice on Facebook. Basically said "You're still not allowed to break into people's homes. Those who don't understand the game may find you suspicious and call the police. This is ok, and if you are approached by an officer, they are only there to make sure everything is safe."

I just want to let you and ANYONE else who has this game that the game hasn't been officially released to other countries and are using a workaround program to play. If you have downloaded not the actual TRUE program, that "other" program is stealing your information and other valuable info that is linked to you and your phone. So, its highly advise to wait for the actual program to come out to your countries. The game will be coming out across the world at one-three countries at a time, so that they can properly create working servers for the game.

US, Australia and New Zealand are still working out the kinks of the game and when it goes live in other countries there shouldn't be much of the issues of what we are seeing in the States.

Yeah I've heard about that, but it's only for Android and I always urge people not to do it.... I did it the iOS way and tricked my phone into thinking I was in America and got full access to the American App Store so I have the real version :)

It's not available in my country yet, any word on when global release is?

Yeah! When do the canucks get it !?!? Me and the women have been itching to play it :P

Been playing it since yesterday. It's a curse, I tell you. On the way home from work last night, I noticed that people would slow down, stop, or weave around the road at random times. After being a passenger and running the game this morning, it looks like that the "random" behavior was where pokestops were. I have a pokestop just a few feet away from my office door. Convenient for me, but I could imagine it turning into a nightmare soon.

On the positive side, it's definitely easier and more gratifying than geocaching.
