Install starting! Now I shall finally be a Pokemon PROFESSOR! Muah ha ha ha!
I have to use my James voice whenever I'm on this app. And make it double!
Pokemon GO installed! Now I wait for tomorrow when they get more servers running.
Would it have killed them to adapt the English anime first opening theme for Pokemon GO?
Charmander! I shall train him until he takes his final form. A MOTHER LOVING DRAGON!
First wild catch: Pidgey. I named him Grackle. His main attack shall be "poop."
Going to hunt Pokemon at work tomorrow during lunch. I'm curious what I find. Mostly getting grass, poison, and bug types here.
Caught a Pidgey and a Taurus at work. Named the former Cock and the latter Bull. Great story there.
Two Pokestops and a gym right near where I work. Ah, yeah.
I need to remember to point my camera at something interesting when a Pokemon pops up so I can take funny screen shots.
I'd be further along with Pokemon GO if the server would stay up during my lunch hour, when I'm near two stops and a gym. I've barely been able to use either stop as is and still haven't been able to add a Pokemon to a gym yet.
When I transfer a weak Pokemon, I imagine it's going to a candy factory where it's chopped and squeezed into the free candy the Professor gives you. The strong feed on their weaker brethren to grow more powerful!
Went walking through Rutland doing Pokemon GO. Ended up in a park, met two guys. Also playing Pokemon. And they were Team Valor! Nice.
First Eevee evolution: Flareon! Do I name her Sailor Mars, Phoenix, or something else?
Caught a Ghastly, then my phone died. As I was catching him, had a person drive by and shout, "Are you playing Pokemon?" Second time that's happened. Also met half a dozen players near my work now.
Not bad. Pokémon servers are staying up during my lunch now so I can hit the two nearby stops.
Blanche is trash waifu. I mean, no glasses?! Seriously?! TRAAAAASH.
That feeling when you sing the Digimon theme while evolving your Pokemon.
I don't understand how folks had Eevee evolutions over a thousand but now I'm the same level they were and only getting 500's.

Tip: like Ingress, Pokemon GO can sense when you're in a car by speed. If you move 20 mph or less, it thinks you're either biking or running. Past that and it won't measure. Tested that today. Good way to level up an egg while driving slow through local streets.

Not serious Pokemon GO questions:
--
For those wondering why I'm into Pokemon GO when I don't normally do video games, this is easy to explain:
Pokemon GO is my first Pokemon game.
I watched the show and read the manga. In fact, I remember watching the very first episodes when it premiered on UPN on weekday afternoons - before Warner Brothers bought it. But I never got into the CCG (I did Magic) and I never owned a handheld system for the video games. This has been the first release I can play on a machine I own.
Experiment: testing if the CP of the evolutionary antecedent Pokemon is positively correlated with the CP of the evolutionary descendant.
The test: two Pidgeys. One at CP 42 and the other at CP 10. They were both evolved to Pidgeotto with candy.
Result: The CP 42 Pidgey became a CP 80 Pidgeotto. The CP 10 Pidgey became a CP 15 Pidgeotto.
Conclusion: Assuming the CP isn't totally random, evolving a stronger Pokemon provides a stronger next stage. So strengthen them before evolving to get the best results.

Level
5! Joined Team Valor (Red). Going by mission statement, Team Mystic
(Blue) is more my style, but red is my favorite color and that beats it.
...I'm betting the head of Mystic is a glasses girl, though. I have a feeling.

Valor is Gryffindor and Mystic is Ravenclaw. (Which has me going against type for once.)
Let's all agree that Team Instinct is the Hufflepuff.

Yay, lunch time at work. So of course the Pokemon servers are down.
Servers popped back up at the end of my lunch - just in time to see the double lures put on the two nearby Pokestops. Caught quite a few, including some new ones. Also met another couple Go players who work down the road.
I found a place to order Team Rocket t-shirts online. Tempted to get one in white and black.
Climbed down into a drainage field to catch an Ekans, Eevee, and Poliwag all clustered together. Totally worth it.

During work: Ugh, I'm on my feet. I'm in pain. Ugh. Want to sit down.
After work: Oh, the server isn't down. I'm going to walk to that gym finally!

Not serious Pokemon GO questions:
- Will Missing No. take over your phone and delete everything?
- How many children must be stacked into a pile of corpses to summon Mew?
- When will we have projectors that can put the Pokemon out for everyone to see?

So I can happily say Charmander is my very first and only starter. Just like I always wanted as a kid.

Serious Pokemon GO question: I have enough candy to start evolving some of my Pokemon. Should I only evolve those with the highest combat points? Does that matter? Or can I evolve whoever?

Current Charmander naming scheme:
- Chamander - Agumon
- Charmelon - Grimlock
- Charizard - Godzilla
Why
Team Valor? Valor is red. In anime and sentai visual vocabulary, it
means you're the LEADER. You are the Red Ranger. You wear the goggles
among the DigiDestined. You are the boy who will become Hokage, and then
go on to be King of the Pirates. YOUR DRILL WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!
That is #teamvalorlife.
That is #teamvalorlife.
"Go Team Valor!" Say this ala the Venture Bros.

Pokémon Go algorithm right now:
1. Do not evolve Pokémon piecemeal. Do it all at once in a huge wave with a Lucky Egg in place.
2. Stockpile Pokémon to evolve. Pidgey has one of the best ratios of candy required to XP gained in the game.
3. If you can't evolve a Pokemon yet, transfer lower CP until you get there. Once you have enough, wait per step 1.
4. If you have candy to evolve more than one of the same kind, keep that number and scrap the rest. Do this until the number you can evolve increases.
5. Repeat until you can do a full 30 minutes of nothing but evolutions with a Lucky Egg. You'll get 1000 XP minimum each time. More if a new form.
