Again, I have no idea who most of these new things are, but I kind of like the Aron guy I'm seeing.

Not sure if it's a fluke or something Niantic actually thought about, but the Pokemon in my area do seem to match the actual wildlife at times. Mostly it's the spheal/seel/actual seals thing, but also zigzagoon/racooon, and the occasional teddyursa/black bear.

God forbid Pokemon ever makes a mock skunk.

Not sure why, but meowth likes to hang out in the local mall.

I actually saw an eevee the other day! Early gen pokemon seem to be so rare now with all the news guys about.

My growlithe is now at 45 candies. 5 more to go.

You mean this guy?

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I was expecting that.

[Coda]

It's quite a tanky Pokemon, actually.

[KittyBeary]

What an... interesting Pokemon. XD

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Tanky is good, and at least it looks like something ... feasible. Not sure about a lot of the new stuff that happens.

During my trip that I just came home from, I found out that airports are full of Pokestops. I don't play that much but that was a great time to do so.

[RedRum]

I've had an on again off again relationship with this game.
Right now, it's on.

I'm enjoying the new field work--except that right now it's requiring me to achieve great and excellent Pokeball throws.
I've never done either with intent and most of the time I'm walking my two dogs when I play which makes throwing a Pokeball difficult enough regardless.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I like the research thing, too. I used an egg the other day and pretty much spent the entire time evolving the pokemon I'd been sitting on. I was hoping to go for another 7 day streak but it's miserable outside and not sure I want to bother to find the time.

And someone tell the pokemon to wander into my circle. I'm working right now and can't move around.

[Kaderin Triste]

My main issue with the research is that I have to do raids on gyms, which is difficult because there are seldom any around me when I actually have time to play.
But I do like it for the most part.
Seriously, there is a raid battle about to start at one of the pokestops at the museum, but in order to battle it, I have to be outside, 5 feet from the door. But I'm at work, so I can't.

[RedRum]

I'm not even battle ready, as in I have no Pokemon strong enough.
Though even if I could battle I as well don't get a lot of raids near me. I have a gym just down the street from my house but it's almost never a raid site.

So yeah, I have a raid research task I am unable to complete.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

My thing with raids and gym battles is that I usually can't be bothered to stick around long enough to finish them. As long as I don't have to actually "win" in a raid, I suppose it won't be too much of an issue. I've also never really found out how the teams work.

[Kaderin Triste]

Quiet: The teams are almost more for group/friend playing in my opinion. If you can put a pokemon on a gym that your team has control of you win pokecoins, which can be used for buying more items or avatar clothes, but beyond that they don't have much of a purpose.

And I don't think you have to win just enter the raid battle, maybe fight a little, then leave and it should count. I did the same thing in a regular gym battle and it counted.

[RedRum]

I concur regarding the teams, thus far in my single player experience which is my entire experience, my team hasn't come into play at all.

[Kaderin Triste]

Back in the early stages of the game, teams were a little more important I think, because you could "train" at gyms of your team and gym battles tended to be tougher, so having a team to battle with was easier. But they kind of did away with most of what makes the teams worthwhile.

[RedRum]

I had no idea.
As I said I haven't battled yet so I've only interacted with gyms for their Pokestop function.
