So my wife sent me out to Wal-Mart to pick up a few necessities. As I'm leaving the store, I see a few oblivious bros wandering the parking lot and staring at their phones. Idiots almost caught my *Car-izard by mistake. #GottaCatchEmAll

*On second thought, given the vehicle I was driving, it was more like a Van-usaur.

Caught this guy on the way to lunch when I took a minor detour across the lake:

If the game disappeared and was unplayable tomorrow, I'd still be satisfied because of this little guy.

So you guys actually see these things in normal life? As a non-player without a clue, I'd never see them, correct? Or could I see a pokeman because someone on the sidewalk is playing?

So I've got a question about gym battles... I don't think I can possibly be doing them right. I went to a local gym today and battled... I beat the first Pokemon, then it immediately put up against the next one and my guy got KO'd. Because... duh... I can't beat two strong pokemon back to back. Is there any way to "sub" pokemon like in the original game? Or run multiple so that when one dies the other goes? Or is it just going to literally be impossible for me to ever make progress?

Would you quit bragging about how much you go to the gym SMH.

I literally have no idea how this works and youtube is blocked at work so I'm just a racing mind right now. I am seeing some weird ISH online and am thoroughly confused.

My understanding is that you made the mistake of attacking a gym controlled by your own team (red / blue / yellow). When you attack an opponent's gym, you get to use six.

1. You find an area with Pokemon based on a distance marker on your phone, which displays a map of the surrounding area to follow (a legit map, from Google Maps, with a Pokemon skin layered over it).

2. When the marker reaches "0" your phone will buzz and a Pokemon appears on your phone screen.

3. Click on the Pokemon and raise your phone. It activates your camera, and displays the Pokemon over top of the real-world view that your phone displays.

4. It's literally just super-imposing a Pokemon over what your camera displays, aka Augmented Reality (AR).

5. You can turn off the AR feature, which is useful in most cases, but sometimes you just want to show off your Pokemon in the real world, dammit.

6. Get the girl, who is undoubtedly attracted to your Dratini.

7. ???

8. Profit.

Yeah, absolutely. I was trying to get my pokemon into my own team's gym... apparently I'm doing that wrong?

Without playing or seeing it, I do wonder... can't this cause problems if a Pokemon someone is obsessed with is in someone's marked property or in a house or restricted building... I'm sure this game doesn't have it down so cold that this never happens...

Isn't it a matter of time before something like that leads to a hostile or dangerous interaction or sorts???
