What's the point of transferring a Pokemon after you catch it?

It gives you an extra candy. If you catch multiple of one Pokemon then transfer the weaker one(s) to make evolving and strengthening it faster.

Join the superior blue team and take it that nasty red of course.

It gives you a piece of that Pokemon's candy. It's functionally just a "release" option to reduce clutter, though.

That's how I'm feeling when I started yesterday. Sometimes it works, then takes a while to load up before freezing or making the touch screen unusable, forcing me to restart.
Hopefully this improves, but I'm really close to level 5.
I think someone tried it on a train and it didn't count steps.
Went on a morning walk. The route I took has 4 Pokéstops, one of which I can claim again on the way back. I ended up catching a Jigglypuff and Staryu, among other repeats. A Nidoran Male got away, though.... I also claimed an untouched gym for the glory of Team Yellow and sparred my Beedrill with a Pidgeotto at my other gym. And to top it all off, a 5K egg hatched into a Diglett! It's getting a bit hot out, so I'm gonna hold off on another walk till the late evening.
I'm really enjoying the game so far! This level 6 trainer is signing off!

Same here.
At work I can catch a whole bunch but when I'm home it says there are none nearby...
Blue because Articuno is Best Bird.
Heh. I don't know your situation for sure, but you may have been hitting a "friendly" gym of the same faction as you. That is a sparring match and you get more powerful but don't get to take over the gym.
I think there's a cooldown on being able to do it again, not sure how long.

If it's late at night and you can pull over while you drive around its great. Otherwise you normally move too fast. Forget trying on the highway.

Why oh why did this game have to come out in the summer, when walking even across the street leaves me drenched in sweat? (And I'm in shape, too)

It was definitely a different faction, I'm yellow and this gym was red. It HAD to have been a glitch, the level 80 Eevee wouldn't take any damage against my level 300 Jynx.

im guessing its best to raise a pokemon from egg or base level and evolve, rather than just power up already evolved mons right? like the gb game?

Does anyone know how to heal a Pokémon that's taken damage? Sorry if it's already been answered elsewhere, but I didn't see it in the OP.
Use a potion. You can get them from Pokestops, through leveling up, or by buying them with coins.
Gotcha, could be shaky servers still I guess. Sucks. A 300CP Jynx sounds terrifying

6 people you know? Were they playing too? Were they not playing and thought they thought you looked stupid? Were they people who you physically bumped into? so many questions
Same problem here too, nothing shows up, it was fine yesterday.

Ah..will have to look for more pokestops when the servers come back up, then. All I've gotten from the 2 I've found were Pokeballs.

How are ya'll using your camera to see Pokemon? I can't find that option.
I believe it works as long you are traveling less than ~15 miles/hour.

It was on by default for me.
I don't think you can really get Potions from the Pokestops until after you get them via leveling up. I think you get them and revives at Level 5 and after that, those items can appear at Pokestops.

The music sucks in this game. They just sound like bootleg versions of already existing tracks rather than being their own thing. It makes me frustrated that they don't just go the way the original tracks go.
They should make it so that actual vets and PetsMarts or whatever are Pokemon centers
I don't know if there's any truth to this, but I've seen a few anecdotal reports that:
- Pokestops will give out more potions if you have injured pokes with you
- From Level 10 onward they can also give Super Potions

Why would you leave the music on anyway lol you really gonna go hiking with that crap blaring ?
Also to add to what others have been saying, I've got it to work in the car. You can click on Pokemon or Pokestops if you're quick enough (or the car is slow enough). Seems it doesn't count towards steps taken, however.
As in, I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and bumped into several people like a dummy.
The canal by my apartment seems like it'll give me a handful a day. Which is good news cause it seems I'll need 100.

Could be licensing issues, but who knows.
It will count steps if you are moving at a snails pace in bumper to bumper traffic. You can click pokemon as you drive past them and catch them, but pokestops you wont be able to visit unless you stop moving. Once you are out of range they disengage and you can't spin the token. I would assume gyms are similar to pokestops where you need to hang around them to battle.
It's worth using it while driving around though (as a passenger) as you will come across different pokemon in different areas. You will mostly likely want to use a car charger due to the game being a battery hog
It is there until it gets defeated, so choose wisely.
On that related note, the only gym I still have control over is one in a "bad" area of the town (read: bad for this town, not that bad at all). I left a level 10 Rattata there. It's not like it'd be hard to beat.
