So I just got back from biking around town. Went to the park not too far from my house and it wasn't even on the map??? It showed a large body of water (it's a lake park) and no road, so I basically just wandered around "out of bounds" for a half hour. Wasn't a total loss though, as I was able to capture Zubat, Psyduck, Slowpoke, Goldeen, Magikarp, Eevee(s), and most impressively a Ratticate, who was a yellow-level capture.

I kept encountering problems though... I would usually keep my phone on in my pocket so the app was still open, but eventually it would start doing the thing where the screen turns off (when you have the phone against your face during a call and the screen auto turns off) so no Pokemon would appear. This led to another problem- the screen would become unresponsive. It wouldn't freeze, it just wouldn't react to touch. My trainer would keep moving but I couldn't rotate the screen or tap Pokemon. A Vulpix popped up and I kept tapping but nothing happened. Rebooted the app and the map was empty... This happened several times.

Then to top it all off, there are no Pokestops anywhere near me. I went out of my way to find one and eventually found both a stop and a gym at the memorial park (that I never knew existed). When I went to claim items, I got three Pokeballs. +1 +1 +1. I literally went out of my way biking an extra 45 minutes to find a stop only to get three balls. Seriously?! Looks like when I run out of Pokeballs it's game over and I'll have to uninstall the app. There could always be a stop at McDonald's but nope. :/

I mean, you could spend $1 for 20 balls, continue going to that pokestop, and just try your best to aim better or something. Every time you level up you should get more balls. I got 20 when I leveled up to level 4 I think, and then 15 at level 5.

or maybe it was 20 at 5 and 15 at 6, I don't remember too well >>

20 for every 5 I believe and and 15 for the rest. But to level up you need to catch Pokemon and you can't without Pokeballs.
Also I don't have any money and I'm not spending 2 hours going there and back if I'm just going to be disappointed.

There better be ways to compensate for out of area people like me, because I'm really starting to get depressed that I can't enjoy the app with everyone else.

That's A Bummer. I Just Downloaded It And My BF Walked Me Through It. My Gym Is Right At The Edge Of My Community And There Are Like 5 PokeStops Within A Fifteen Minute Walk. But Sadly Most Are In A Gated Old Folks Community. I'm About To Go Out With My Bro And We Are Going To Catch Pok?mon Til The Phone I'm Using Dies

 

[JellyLu]

I got a Vaporeooonnnnn <3 <3 5 more eevees until I can evolve again! I hope for Flareon this time ^^

 

[Pokemanz]

One of the Eevees I caught has a CP of 103. That's higher than the Raticate!

 

[Vizionari]

Urgghh I'm so mad, I went outside and found a Growlithe...twice! I clicked on the model and the game would just freeze and then Growlithe would disappear :/ Is it because I don't have data turned on (I don't have a data plan)?

At least I got a Hitmonchan earlier on the dining table

 

[Aali]

There are hardly any gyms but yellow has all of them but one which is for red

#wheremybluehomiesat?

 

[vel]

i think everything is going wonky, pokemon go is down for me, the server is down apparently.

 

[aleshapie]

How do you get stuff? Like eggs, coins and other items?

 

[vel]

eggs: pokestop if you're lucky
coins: you have to buy 'em i think, or do something with a gym ? idk
other items: pokestops.

 

[N a t]

You get some items by leveling up, mainly pokeballs, and other items like eggs are exclusive to Pokestops! When you find a Pokestop you spin the picture that appears in a little circle to get the items.

 

[aleshapie]

Thanks! I have passed a bazillion gyms, but no stops. Ugh.

 

[lovendor]

Has anyone seen the screenshot of someone taking over the White House's Gym with a pidgeot named Merica? (the country is being run by Team Valor)

 

[Wisteria Rytsar]

I'm A Bit Disappointed From My Run. I Took The Risk And Went To The Closest Stop. Stood In Front Of It But Still It Thought I Was Across The Street. So For Now I'm Stuck On Level 4

 

[D i a]

There's quite a lot of pokestops and gyms when I got out in town, but nothing too close to home.
I'm still pretty excited about this though! :3

 

[Corrie]

So I go to the Play Store and I can't find it. I then go online and apparently it isn't out in Canada or is banned from Canada? Is that true?
