I can already tell that it's going to ebb and flow. In like a month, most people will have all 150 and either be way too weak to stand a chance in gyms or so overpowered that nobody can stand up to them. Then trading will be added, and it'll kick up for a week as even more people hit the 150. Then battling other than gyms will happen and players will get stronger on the whole, but the ones who were already leading gyms will still be way ahead of anyone else unless they just stop playing altogether despite the updates. Then legendaries will happen and everyone will be using them only, so every gym battle will be legendary v legendary, and unless they change the way pokemon get stronger, there's really no way to upgrade them, so it'll stagnate and nobody will use regular pokemon anymore because they won't be able to compare with the legendaries and early gym leaders' super powered pokemon. Once everyone is just playing to catch a ton of dupes to upgrade one or two pokemon to back up their legendaries, nobody will play anymore. Then a johto update will come out and we'll have another month or two of what we have now. Rinse and repeat. Unless they totally overhaul the way pokemon get stronger, the gym systems, the battle system, maybe even the catching system at some point, all the game will be is "catch one of everything and use legendaries to do all the battling." If they eventually add a sort of pokeamie, then that would add a lot of life to the game again, but the game will always last for a couple months then die out until the next region update, then die down again after a couple months. It's been, what, a week since it launched? And the gap between current gym leaders and non-gym leaders is already impossibly large. Add in that a lot of people don't live near pokestops or gyms, and now you've got players who HAVE to pay to play, and can't battle at all.

@DarkwolfX37

You can only catch 146 at the moment.

As an Ingress player who joined about halfway through, considering PoGo is just pretty much a reskinned Ingress, I'm sure they will implement balances if they have not already.

Ye.

Okay so team yellow is gay. I'll probably choose red. I like blue's motivation of learning everything about pokemon, but red's got a female leader and if I'm gonna fight for anyone, it's gonna be a cute girl.

@Techspert

I'm sure they will too, it's just that go will keep having a month or two of play and then nothing until a new update for most people.

THERE'S LITERALLY ONE NOTABLE PLACE IN IOWA ACCORDING TO A MAP MADE BY INGRESS PLAYERS

@Techspert

Bi-weekly updates, supposedly.

Yeah but you're not led by a cute girl. I will never follow anyone who isn't a cute girl unless it's Accelerator or Lelouch. Or Nagisa. Maaaaaaaaybe Karma. I either lead or follow cute girls.

The teams are basically this:
Instinct is Green, Valor is Red, Mystic is Blue.
Just like Green, Instinct is all about finding pokemon with high potential and then trusting in them and loving them to make them reach that potential as friends and partners. They love their pokemon like family and think that the pokemon are strong enough to not need their help, only their friendship.
Just like Blue, Mystic is basically like "I don't fucking know if pokemon are naturally weaker or stronger than others of their kind, let's catch a shitton, raise them with laboratory-like preciseness, and find the fuck out." Yeah they're the researchers, but that's what the fucking profs are for.
Just like Red, Valor is like "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOU I'M THE BEST AND IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE I'LL KICK YOUR FUCKING FACE IN YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH." They love their pokemon but want them to go past their limits, even if it means pushing them harder than they maybe should. They also are more likely than the other two to travel on long journeys only to get bored with crushing everyone they come across and go camp on a mountain somewhere.

I like Instinct because it's all about being friends with pokemon and that's sort of my thing, loving all my pokemon and only using the ones I like, even if they aren't as strong as others I could be using.
I like Mystic because it's all about learning about pokemon, which I like to do even though I never try to complete the pokedex, see also: I only use pokemon I like because I'm all about trusting and loving my pokemon. It also seems like the team most likely to be breeders and I'm always a breeder in the games. In SS and HG I was obsessed with the ruins of Alph, like, even though I never fill the pokedex, ever since crystal I've loved the ruins of Alph and the Unknowns, and have caught all 28 in SS and filled out the entire Alph report.
I like Valor because I intend to be the fucking best, it seems like the team top three waifus Mimi, Ryuko, and Chara would choose, (though they'd just as likely choose Instinct so bleh) my first ever pokemon games were yellow and red, and Red is a fucking boss, AND it's the only team led by a girl. Plus, Valor is doing research too, just on how to make pokemon stronger than they should normally be rather than on evolution.

FUCK Instinct is the breeding team. Spark is all about researching eggs and hatching, Nature over Nurture, which I believe and am also always a breeder in the games. Mystic is all about evolution which means they're probably really into Eevee, my fav pokemon, so there's that. Oh hey Mystic is led by a girl too apparently. Not cute enough though. Valor's all about training methods so Nurture over Nature, which I don't agree with, but still. Cutest girl.

"The inimitable Team Valor is awash with the colour of their fiery passions. The red team is lead by Candela and is driven by the urge to the very best, and although she’s super keen on things like power and strength, she’s a well-adjusted young woman and definitely not a sociopath. Our mascot is the fancy-looking Moltres."

I would actually be even more inclined to join if pokemon go was just like "Valor's leader is a sociopath."

-----------------------------------------------

So even though Moltres is worst bird, I always choose the fire starter, and since Valor is led by a cute girl, I'm gonna have to go with it.

-----------------------------------------------

"is quickly becoming the banner of Pokémon Go fans already tired of the senseless hostility brewing between teams Mystic, Instinct and Asking For It."
Pretty much this.

I love that it was a mexican who first took the white house, not counting the blastoise that probably got it just by being the first to notice it's a gym. He's also taken over the senate. Trump's already lost. A mexican owns the white house and the senate.

[DarkwolfX37]

So I for one, if I could find it, would give my soul for someone to buy me and everyone else here Under Night In Birth Exe:Late.
It looks like fucking Blazblue all over again and I am fucking ready to give another chunck of my life to a new game series.
