Yeah. I think the game needs a bit of touching up in terms of where some go stops and stuff are. I've noticed a few near my house out in the middle of some wetlands which might not be safe for kids to wander around in. Moving some of the pokestops closer to the road might be better.
I'd imagine some of that stuff will be smoothed out.
I drove by my old high school and there's both a Gym and a Poke Stop there. Have fun with that next semester, professors! Oh god. What is college going to be like?
How fast or consistent does my mobile internet have to be to work properly?
It keeps saying "GPS signal lost" or somesuch. And when that message wasn't on, the white Pokeball on the upper left keeps spinning.
And of course I haven't seen any Pokemon yet besides my starter.
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!I was sitting in the passenger seat of my Dad's car on my way home from Church. As we stopped, I turned to him and said "Dad...one second. There appears to be an Oddish on your shoulder..."
Leviticus 19:34I don't have anything in range out my couch, but there's 6 pokestops and 2 gyms within 5 minutes walk of my house. There also seems to be an unusually high density of spawn points around, as I find pokemon more often in my neighborhood than I do on walks.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.With a few places like the Holocaust Museum not being too happy with being a Pokestop, I think Niantic's going to be moving some of them. Businesses/people can request that they not be a marked location for Ingress/Pokemon Go after all.
They're going to open new submissions for Pokestops at some point though.

It seems stupid to me. What about the rarer Pokemon out there and the ones who are harder to catch? It sounds like it'd be impossible to then level them up.
And what about traveling? Say I live in Phoenix where its a hot dry desert. All of my friends from college tell me its populated with nothing but the usual fair and Fire based Pokemon. If I travel somewhere I can get an Ice Pokemon and then go back to Phoenix, doesn't that then mean there's no way for me to actually upgrade that Pokemon?
That just seems incredibly discouraging towards creating variety in your catches. Sure, I could try and catch this Pokemon that's ultimately rare in my home town, but then I can't do anything with it because I'll have no way to train or upgrade it. It doesn't encourage diversity of Pokemon.
I don't exactly see any advantage to it either.
Unless I'm really misunderstanding something.

Each catch gets you 3 of that Pokemon's candy so you at least have 3 opportunities to boost its CP. Eggs can also give you Pokemon that may be rarer for your region or not even found there.
Again, the point of the game is to get you outside and exploring. Your example of bringing an Ice type to Phoenix is a bit of an outlier since it's not something that would regularly happen.

So Pokemon GO is now the biggest mobile game in US history

It surpassed games like Candy Crush which took years to get that high, in just a few days.
It's not Ogre, It's Never Ogre.
