Re: Pokemon GO (IOS/Android)
Took over a gym for the first time today. Bryant Park in NYC, which is about as nice of a location as you can think of here.
Held it for a grand total of 3 minutes.
Best character is an 1155 CP Dragonite.

This is a pretty detailed, well-written guide for the game. It's meant for first-time players or people with some familiarity with the game, but not for experts.

What it does not mention is:
If you want to track a specific Pokémon from the guide in the bottom-right of your map, click on one. Then, once you're headed in the right direction, the guide will blink green (faintly around the border). If you don't see green you're not walking in the right direction.

The border around the small menu where the nearby Pokemon is. If you look closely and spin in a circle, it should quickly blink green.

I serve a United Methodist church.
We had at least 30 people stop by over two hours, plus people would walk in saying there are people outside the building trying to catch Pokemon, too. I know it's possible because I did it the other day, too. Walked out and encouraged people to come in if they'd like and some did, especially when they found out we have pizza. The people who were there the whole time caught at least 50 Pokemon, easily. The big hit was when everyone caught Meowth. Pizza and other snacks when quick. Fun way to meet people from our neighborhood. I'd do it again.

Re: Pokemon GO (IOS/Android)
App question - on Android, Moto X. How do I shut down the app? I don't want it running all the time in the background (do I?) and for some reason I can't find an 'exit' or anything. I get my Back/Home/Apps buttons to overlay, hit Home a few times, then do the Apps thing and swipe it off. That's probably not killing the app entirely though.
Just read that guide. There's a lot in this.
Can the game be played entirely for free or will there be a paywall, either totally or practically?

I liked the game a lot and spent $10 on it (less than a cocktail I would drink in 5 minutes) and expanded my inventory.

I haven't been able to open it today, the loading bar won't get past 20% before I get an error. I don't think it's local stations nice my wife has been on several times today. Anyone else with this error?
