We (well I say we - I mean the foal) caught 2 more on the way to school. There were none in the hospital. I'm going to take the dog for a walk and see if I can catch any more

I'm playing. And the park opposite my flat is a pokestop I can access from my sofa 
I'm on level 4, can't decide whether to go for Mystic or Instinct. I don't like the name Mystic but I want to be on a team led by a woman. Yellow or blue, yellow or blue, what shall it be?
I am not telling my 5yo I'm playing. Although she's bound to find out sooner or later.

Either buy some more or go to a pokestop where you can usually get 3 or 4.

I don't think which team you're on actually matters much tbh

When you get to Level 5 you have to pick a Team to join - Mystic (blue), Instinct (yellow) or Valor (red). Apparently you then fight and defend gyms for your team. You know when you see gyms on the map they're one of those 3 colours - that means that team is in control of it. You can drop your pokemon off at a gym that is held by your team, and you get daily coins and stuff for defending it. And you can battle other pokemon at gyms not held by your team in an attempt to take it over for your team. How well you do depends on your pokemon's CP, evolution level etc. You can train your pokemon to get stronger at gyms that your team is in control of.

No. You do need to do the 10k with the app running though. Which is bad news for your battery

Exits gracefully.
No, but you do have to have the app open for it to count the distance.

Get a roomba and attach your phone to it. Or a drone.

Not if it's on charge in your car

Car won't work. It's using both the gps and the accelerometer in your phone to work out if you're walking or not.Not if it's on charge in your car

Fucking Instinct now controls all 4 gyms near my house. 3 have solidly been Instinct since I got the app, and the nearest flips from time to time.
I'm not going to pick Instinct when I get to level 5. Fuck them and their monopoly. I'm going to pick Valor or Mystic (probably Valor) and train so hard, harder than any trainer has trained before, and take control of every motherfucking gym in the area. Fuck yeah.

I normally go for a walk around the neighbourhood in the evening with the other half as we both have desk jobs. As he said to me "this evening let's go down to the river again and look for water ones" it struck me: is this it? Will we ever go out again looking at the sky, the tree leaves, talking about random stuff? It'll always be "let's go for a walk. Wait let me get the spare battery, I only need two more Venonat candy so I may as well..."
In future it won't be "this is St Stephen's church hall and community centre" but "this is St Stephen's church hall and community centre, it's quite busy tonight because it's a spaceport in Galactic Empires III and everyone's trying to get to Tau Ceti before the Mayinoids arrive"

There's a lure in the cemetery. I repeat, someone is luring Pokemon towards the dead people. DEPLOY DEPLOY.

Pokemon have 3 stages of evolution. Their form and names change as they evolve, generally getting larger, more elaborate, and stronger.

Even the same type can have different special abilities. Also weak ones are easier to upgrade which gives you more xp making you better at upgrading better ones, i think.
I think it only pays to transfer when you need more space.
