Anyone get this game yet? It seems to be EVERYWHERE. I was in dt Montreal today and saw a half dozen ppl playing in in a 3 block walk, and it's not even out in Canada yet.
This game seems significant enough for its own thread... What say u? Have u caught as many zubats as me? (no, it's all I catch)

there is a nearby park i love to walk my dog in and it was nice to get accosted by strangers about pokemon, rather than about signing petitions (which was par for the course 3 weeks ago)
a woman with a shiba inu talked to me...after some chitchat abt our catches (and our dogs) she said, "my dog is like a real life vulpix" ~ oh brother!
i was a fan of ingress (it got me to know my neighborhood a lot better!) and played pokemon for 17+ years so yeah i am all about this

So many people in parks and just walking down the street playing. Often find myself surrounded by like 30 other players.

what a crazy phenomenon. i'm trying this out, no idea what to do w/ anything yet. there's a few landmarks in my block and wouldn't you know it there were people strolling around them with their phones out just a few minutes ago.
how do teams work? I haven't battled anyone yet.
and i really wonder where they're pulling these images from and assigning spots; about half were really out of date.

played it with my partner in a park, she isn't into pokemon but she has an S7 and i have a measly S3 so i've been sad
it's a lot of fun but i worry about glued-to-phone-while-walking, we are definitely going to drown in a lake
her battery was maybe 25% gone after 45ish minutes? apparently keeping the camera off saves a lot of battery i think
