Please someone enlighten me as to how to catch the damn things! I've been stuck trying to catch a zubat for my entire lunch break and I can't seem to get off this screen!
You basically just flick the pokeball towards the pokemon (like paper toss). I struggled a bit trying to catch Zubat, it doesn't stay still like the other pokemon. Also if the pokemon has a yellow or red circle on it, it's more difficulty to catch, if it's green it's easy to catch, at least that's what I've read.

This is why I downloaded it early. *

Plus I'm back at work today after being off since Friday, so I'd have been super annoyed if it wasn't available when I was actually able to play.
Thanks @puddlesthemonkey :u:*
THe pokestops near work weren't loading properly :sad:

If you've downloaded the APK file you should be able to install the app from the play store and log in as usual :smile:

Thanks for the shout-out, but after two days of playing on it fairly obsessively I cleared the data and uninstalled the app.

I've been interested over the past week or so to see what the play value (is that the right term?) is - it feels like it might be a bit of a gimmick which gets boring after a while :beard:

Easier said than done lol. It's a shame because I hear loads of people are playing it around London.
Yay finally i can play pokemon go :woo: :danceboy::excited::woohoo:
Found a hotspot area in my city, theres a fountain with three pokestops around it and when you sit down you can get all 3, amd they constantly have lures on them so I caught tons whilst having lunch!

Some guy in a suit ran through shouting "You sad Poke****ers!" though lmao. The fact he knew that it was a pokestop is what makes it funnier. :tongue:

Yet I've been out the house and seen no obvious signs of this obsession everyone's talking about.
:woo: I'm playing pokemon go :excited: I choose squirtle as my starter pokemon and I just caught a rattata in my house :biggrin:

Edit: Just caught pidgey, I haven't even left my house and already caught 3 pokemons :biggrin:

I've been playing it for over a week now, but thanks for the heads up :tongue:.

Saw quite a few people have downloaded it since its release earlier this morning. Not really sure why people didn't just download the APK, they could have had it for a week already.

Quick tip: Save as many evolutions as you can. At level 8 you will get a lucky egg, which doubles your xp. You get 1k xp per evolution, so this doubles to 2k (+500xp if it's a new Pokemon, which is also doubled) giving you a possible 3k xp per evolution. If you've saved 10 evolutions until then (or just bought a lucky egg from the store) you've got an easy 30k xp.

Also, savour those easy levels now, currently it takes me 20k xp to level up D:
Is possible to battle against other players ..?
