Do we still have no idea when the Pokémon Go Plus comes out? I've got one preordered, but they really should have had it out before the game launched. It can be dangerous walking around while staring at your phone.

Yep, can't login. Sure they are getting hammered. Hopefully back up soon.

Cool, thanks. There's a ton of Rattata in my area, so I guess that's easy xp right there.
I'm a bit confused how some things work. Like if I see leaves appearing somewhere on the map, does that mean I can go there to get Pokemon? Because I have walked to them and got nothing. Though I've been having server issues so maybe that's a part of it.
Also when throwing Pokeballs, does the pulsing green circle dictate anything?

Yeah my game crashed when I caught a pokemon. Figures.
This sucks tho, the servers went down the second I started my commute to work this morning, and now they're down again as I walk back home. I have a gym to reclaim! :<
Installed this and went for a walk. I live in the outskirts of a suburban city near Copenhagen. I have a gym very close to my apartment that was just claimed by a guy with a Pidgeotto - really cool. My nearest PokeSrop is quite far away, though with no other stops in sight.
Caught a few Pokemon, mostly Rattatas, Pudgeys, Weedles and Catetpies. I did find a Venonat too and there are supposedly Drowzee, Krabby and Koffing near me.
The coolest bit was when I went near this tiny lake and found a Goldeen - and a Squirtle! Unfortunately, it popped out I'd my Pokeball TWICE and ran away

Dunno about waiting to evolve. No way to acquire new moves I don't think, but different caught pokemon of the same kind can have different attacks, in both slots:
These attacks can also have different types and be different from the Pokemon's type, so it is worth checking.
Definitely
What do you mean by "upside down" in this case? This seems like something I'll want to use

I'm curious about this too.
Caved and installed it Android style. The GPS had some trouble, especially with the only, and surprising, pokestop close to me. I spent a good five-ten minutts circling it before it registered me as close, and it would sometimes place me in an entirely different location.
I was going to try finding out where this other location was since I actually caught a pokemon while it happened, but now when I got home again the app asked me to create an account again. I gave it a try and turns down the servers went down, I hope or I'll never find out!

The most unique Pokemon I've found so far is a Gastly last night at a cemetary when driving by.
I'm also being told Pikachu are rare? I was given the option for one as a starter last night along with the 3 Kanto starters, I'm not crazy for not choosing it right? This is also assuming I wasn't just seeing things.

The leaves flying up in the air is supposed to show that there is a pokemon there, but so far I haven't noticed that. Pokemon seem to pop up everywhere, leaves or not.
The smaller the green circle is, the more likely that you'll catch the pokemon. The colors show the difficulty of the catch: green means super easy, you can basically catch the pokemon regardless of the size of the circle. Yellow means difficult, you'll have to have a fairly small circle to get a catch, and red means hard, so you'll pretty much need a minimal circle to catch your target.
It could be server issues. Sometimes they show up and other times nothing. The servers have been having issues everywhere. Try restarting the app every once in awhile if things are buggy.

Servers down again.. ;(
HELP IN CANADA!
With the game or finding it? You'll need to download the APK (If you have an android phone) since it's not officially out here yet.
Pretty happy with my day 1 catches.

Should've used a google account instead of the pokemon trainer one cuz it can't authenticate for shit!
Lol, the phone charger at my desk is dying, perhaps this is planned obsolescence.
Damn I want a Paras, nice catch.
Errr, yes to both? Can you explain what you mean

How do you use the egg incubator?

so it's seemingly like rarity isn't THAT special of an attribute.
sure you may find different mons in different inneighborhoods, but it's not like i have to go to a specific national park in my country to obtain a tauros exclusively for example.

Does it provide notifications if there's a pokemon in the area, or do you have to be constantly running it? Sorry, I've slept really poorly and I'm not making sense right now.
Go to your Pokemon, click the tab at the top-right labeled "eggs", choose an egg, click "Start Incubation", pick an incubator, walk around with the app open for it to count towards steps.
The app has to be open and your phone can't be locked.

click an egg, and drag the incubator onto an egg i believe. also, the app must be open in order for it to register distance walked.
There aren't any notifications, you have to have the app running and your phone unlocked in order to find pokemon while you're walking around.

Preferably at real hospitals.
Open open or open and then let my screen go off?
It gets returned to your inventory
You need to have the app open. Running it in the background doesn't count. You could turn on battery saver though and if you put your phone in your pocket (it has to be upside down vertically) the screen turns off but the app is still running and will also still notify you of new pokemon and stuff
Oh my god, yes. This is driving me insane!
Once the gym is defeated the pokemon you had there is returned. You may need to use a revive and potions on it to fully restore its health. Also, don't forget to collect you rewards once every 21 hrs when you have a pokemon defending a gym
Pretty sure it's open open.

I feel so bad for all the Zubats in this game. They'll never become Crobats.
So then it's best to get as much cp before evolving?

Has anyone caught a Sandshrew/Sandslash? He's my favorite and I'm not seeing anyone's pictures with one.
