The game is telling me to find a pokestop, and the closest one is a church that is JUST out of range of my house. I'd usually have no problem just walking over there and getting pokeshit, but it's 9 PM and I'm in my PJs.

Am I locked out of catching wild pokemon until I roll over there? Because that sucks if true.

Also, will the app send me a push if a pokemon rolls around, or do I need to keep it open? There's no pokemon in my house right NOW, but who knows what will happen in the night.

They'll still spawn. I don't think you'll get notifications though. Gotta sell those crappy wristbands somehow!

What the hell do I sign in with. Is there a diff between Google and that trainer thingy.

Basically you either tie your account with your Google account or your Pokémon.com account. I don't know if tying it with the latter will net you any bonuses down the line but I have a feeling it's just whatever preference you have.

Anyone else have problems with getting AR to work? It says it can not read my orientation but every other app does it just fine and the general gps stuff does work.

I, too, made the fool mistake of signing in with PTC the first time and played around for a while this morning, but have been unable to authenticate my login for hours now. I finally pressed the Google button just to see what it would do, and it started right up with what looked like a new game.

So... does this mean if you use the second login type, it starts you over? Is this like a different file than my PTC login, in that I'll still be able to get back onto my old level of progress when/if the servers come back up, or did I basically delete my game just now? Does anyone know?

So far this whole thing seems equal parts fun and frustrating. I'm also not sure how well my phone is picking up movement-- sometimes my trainer on screen will randomly start walking (in place) when I'm sitting still, then when I start walking she stops, sometimes she turns around and faces a random direction so I don't know where I actually need to move in relation to the map/Pokemon on screen. It's weird.

You can sign out and sign back in (in theory) with your PTC creds and it'll load that account. Basically the two are separate, and never the twain shall meet.

I was able to log in, catch a Rattata, evolve it, and hit level 5. I clicked the gym by my work before the servers shat the bed again. Rip

Has anyone had their trainer just... wander? I was getting ready for bed, and the game seemed to think I was crossing the street repeatedly, back and forth to the Pokespot downstairs, for like half an hour. Probably still.

All this talk of ugly Pokemon and nobody brought up Stunfisk. How?

Stunfisk is perfect and its smile is all that keeps me from just staying in bed all day crying.
