I'm really interested to see just how high this thing can go. It very well could go past snapchat.
Im still not sure what I am doing other than I am currently collecting as many as I can find. Can I combine multiples? And I don't get the evolution thing at all. Ingress at least sort of explained things and let you be a one a grand team. Worth mentioning I have never played any Poke game ever.

Jesus at that stock rise. Somebody's doin the scrooge mcduck gold dive right about now.
Yesterday I felt crummy and thought my interest was waning in the app, today I feel rejuvenated and am bout to hit up a local paved trail near an outdoor mall that has a crap ton of stops along it. This game is brain control, and I love it

snapchat should add some pokemon filters
I really am happy with how well it's doing. Even in town here in the UK you can find a dozen people playing at any one time and it's not even out here yet
Very much so. The hits this past week have been the highest since X & Y's launch.

The trick is understanding that there are two simultaneous long-term goals (you can aim for either/both):
- collect all the Pokemon to complete your pokedex (sort of a nature book or essentially a stamp collection), this includes evolved Pokemon (which require candies to evolve, and to get enough candies to evolve a Pokemon you need to find multiple of that exact same type of Pokemon... I suggest you explore the various menus and click on things to get a sense of the economy involved)
- earn enough XP (experience points) from battling at gyms, practicing battles, and collecting and evolving Pokemon to be strong enough to take over a gym, for as long as possible.
I may be a little off here as I'm not a poke expert but this is coming from having had the game for a day or so and reading a few bits and bobs.
I hope they don't put that in. Seeing as it's in Ingress and not in this, it seems a deliberate move to leave it out.
I hope not. Part of the fun is finding people out and about enjoying the same thing you do, talking to them and having fun going on a mini adventure to track down an elusive Pokemon. With chat I expect that to happen far less... Though, having someone scouting out Pokemon a bit further away from you might be handy.
Awesome to hear!

Starting to have fun with this. Nintendo is winning me back. I miss their franchises

Nintendo stock is up another 20% in pre market trading.
If that happened since before Sun & Moon leaks, it's even more interesting.
yep! was happy to see that I wasn't wrong about it still having some room to go back up. Sold my position at a 50% gain this morning.
They will at some point. They'd be idiots not to.
P2P expansion packs by regions incoming...
It will probably have because Ingress the previous Niantic game, has it.
Same with team chat.
You should gets peeps in the UK to carry around you in a Celebi Palinquin.
That's actually a great idea, Team chat, for trading or some other way to organize an attack on a gym you would other wise have a hard time beating yourself.
Eventually we would be able to challenge other trainers we meet irl right? That would be awesome!

Shit is a cultural phenomenon is a matter of a few weeks after release. It's gonna be bigger than Pacman, Street Fighter 2, etc.
This could be huge for any Nintendo game featuring Pokémon, hence why The Pokémon Company needs to get that stick out of their ass & allow the Pokémon Amiibos to be used in more games (which, judging by the recent Kirby game, is what they may be doing).

Nice, it's really strange that it's even defeat facebook.
Interest on Pokemon is just insanely high.
Probably a combination of factors
