This new app has taken the gamers I know by storm. It's a real world Pokémon catching game, encouraging you to get up and go catch Pokémon.
I just downloaded it, haven't gotten to really play with it do to traveling, but later tonight I'm gonna try it out
Any one else playing?

| I AM. When the servers aren't down, I have a lot of fun with just catching stuff around the house. There are like three gyms around the corner and down the street from me, and two of them are controlled by Team Instinct (The team I picked at Level 5). The last one is the Blue team, but they have a scary Poliwrath guarding it right now. I've evolved a Pidgeot and Raticate so far ^^ |

| I downloaded it and had a great time playing for about 10 minutes, but unfortunately the next time I tried logging in it gave me an error message, and it hasn't stopped since (I've been checking every so often) ;-;
I'll try my best to get it fixed though--it looked really fun to play! |

| Yeah, seems like they got far more people playing than they anticipated. Hopefully the out pouring of support will show them how much we love it and pour money into it

| I love it! I got to play this morning and there is sooo much at my work. There are 2 gyms at work and 4 Pokestops. Even the church next door to my apartment has 3 Pokestops. |

| Pokestops are specific places on the map you can visit to get Poke balls and other items. |

| I did get this! However the servers were acting strange for my brother and I too. Imm not sure what I think of the art style. And I have a story about my name. So when I got to the point where I needed a name, I tried my real name. Not available for whatever reason, even though it's pretty uncommon. I try WHAT, pleasestop, and Janeausten. All taken somehow. Looking around my room for inspiration, I see this shirt I have for Disneyworld's Twilight Zone inspires ride, The Tower of Terror. I go, "Why not?!" And put in Rodsterling (I know it's supposed to be Rod SERling now...) and IT FREAKING WORKED. So I hope we can change our names later on. |

| I've heard that the servers are clogged to holy hell, so I'm probably gonna wait till they get that settled out.
Though I've heard some strange stories about where the pokespots are located. Do you have to have a specific IOS version/update to run it? |

| Nooooo. I was going to take a picture of me eating dinner with a Pidgey, but I accidentally closed it while trying to take a screen shot. And, then Pidgey was gone by the time I came back. He must be camera shy. |

| ^ Unfortunately, it has not been released in Canada yet. The company has only said it's "coming soon", so there aren't any specific dates for release either. Currently, the app is only available in the US, Australia, and New Zealand. |

| Considering how many people are clogging the system right now, I'm not surprised they have to roll it out slowly so the servers aren't permanently down. |

| Who prepares to get over 50,000 users on opening day? Lol. There were 50,000 downloads in approximately 24 hours in the Google Play Store. That doesn't even account for however many downloaded in the Apple Store. Me and Duduo having dinner.

| I am just arguing to cut them some slack. They became the number one free app within the first 5 hours. Even if their IT was prepared for a global phenomenon, that's a huge amount of people in a short amount of time. I am soooo not jealous of those that maintaimed the IT infrastructure for this thing. Casanova and Paras having a staring contst.
