Exactly. You have to strike a balance between leaving strong Pokémon to defend a gym and having strong Pokémon in your party so you can conquer new gyms.

What happens after it is defeated

anyone know what battery saver option does in settings? i turned mine on, but no clue what it does...
After it's defeated, you can "regain access" to it. It'll be at 1 HP, I believe, so you'll have to use potions to heal it, but then you can level it up, evolve, etc. This all happens without you having to go near the gym again. The servers just know when you've been defeated.

It comes back to your party with low HP and you need to heal it up.
Same thing here. Wonder if it's an issue due to overloaded servers, or something else.
I think it lets the screen dim without disconnecting the game.

Caught a Psyduck and an Eevee on my walking path at work. I feel so fulfilled!
Got to put them in an incubator to hatch them during the steps

Do incubators ever show up as regular Pokestop items or do I need to shell out cash for them?
Servers seem to be down. I can't sign in either.

Got to level 5 today and picked blue team. Evolved some of my pokemon so now I have a 220CP pidgeot and a 150CP raticate. Gonna go take on some gyms tomorrow.
Is there a map like Ingress's yet which shows where the pokestops and gyms are? I could just use Ingress's map to check where the portals are, but I can't tell pokestops and gyms apart that way.

1. May be server issues causing nothing to load
2. Ingress added points of interest as it grew, and Pokemon Go seems like it will make a bigger splash... It's pulling from Ingress data right now but I wouldn't be surprised if Niantic made another pass to add new locations for the people Go brings in.
You have one free one, I got one for leveling up I think but I haven't found any from Pokestops yet sorry
I got one leveling up, so you can get them that way. It's a 3-use one. And of course you start with the infinite use one.

Game has some bugs. Earlier I couldn't grab the poke all to throw it. Map is a huge WTF. It must be counting dirt roads or some shit.
So I only have to move about 20m from my desk to get the Pokestop at my work.Also walking to lunch between buildings got me two pokemon (like a 100m walk).
Funny thing is waiting in line for lunch I hear behind me "So I just caught a weedle." Turn around and it's one of our companies staunch PC gamers (refuses to buy any console) playing Pokemon GO. This thing is going to be huge if it has lasting appeal.

If you turn your phone upside down it will dim the screen. This allows you to walk like a normal person and not have to look at your screen. If you have the vibration setting on, then the phone will vibrate to let you know you've encountered a Pokemon.
To me, battery saver is a must so you're not walking around, staring at your phone.
I still think that this is all due to server issues. When servers work great, the game looks absolutely fantastic. But when they're slow or not working, it freezes, stuff breaks.
And regarding the map, pretty sure they count roads, sidewalks, etc.
They should be vets and pet supply stores!
I wanna be able to go take care of my dog, my cat, and my Squirtle simultaneously.

How many catches did you all have to get before you hit level 5?

App still needs to be open to vibrate though right?
I live in a fairly populated area and there's nothing around.

Not too many. Make sure to transfer duplicate 'mon for a while, too. When I did a bunch earlier I got 2000xp and basically did all of level 4 to 5 from that.
I think new moves are automatically switched out on your pokemon as you power it up, but it seems like themoves they learn are not the same, i.e. I've had two zubats at the same level that know different moves.
I personally try to fully power up a pokemon before I evolve it, but it looks like when you evolve a pokemon, then it keeps the progress on the power up meter, which is good because it looks like evolutions cost more to power up than the base form (zubat cost 800 star things and one candy to power up in the end, Golbat cost 1200 star things and one candy to power up at the same level).
I live downtown in an older city and when I opened the map up last night when I was at home there was a Pokestop literally every block and two gyms within a 3-4 minute walk for me. Just curious if you live in a newer city. It does say Memorials and Historic Landmarks are often locations of interest.
But then again my works plaque for dedicating the place as a research facility counted as being a memorial.

Well I give up; what's the safest site to get the apk from (if it isn't against the rules to link me, please do so)?
Edit: To clarify, it probably won't be coming out here in spain for a few days, and I don't want every gym to be captured by level 5s

Thanks! Didn't even know it was an option.

Servers have been down for me for the past 10 minutes. Anyone else?
Same here, I couldn't click any of the landmarks, closed the app and reopened, and it popped up saying server issues. Oh well, guess I have to get some work done.
