    Post Pokemon Go

    So Pokemon go has been released! The wife and I took the Bub for a good hour long walk around the neighbourhood.

    Already caught a staryu and eevee as well as the early game mons. Easy to play but what a battery hog! Lost 70% of my battery in that hour from just having the app running in my pocket!

    Damn I didn't even notice the battery drain until I read this post and then looked at my phone. 1 hour and down 60% on my Samsung Note 4... This is not something you will be able to spend the whole day on without a battery charger close by.

    The pokemon capture is novel but I am more looking forward to trainer battles. No idea how that works yet but that is the fun part.

    I chose Charmander first and have Eevee, rattata, caterpie, weedle, pidgey, venonat and poliwag already.

    Just noticed in settings there is a battery saver option. Let's see if that helps.

    Not really...

    Mine is now having sign in issues as everyone gets home and downloads it!

    Is it just me or is there not much to do other than walk around and throw pokeballs? I was hoping i could battle friends but I think that only works at a gym?

    I've been in bed sick all day
    And I wake up to find that all my friends have started playing Pokemon go.
    I've got some catching up to do.
    So far I have Charmander, Catterpie, Pidgey and Gastly
    Depending on how I feel I may be going for a walk tomorrow

    I just spent the last hour walking around Cronulla in my lunch break. Picked up a lot of Pidegys, rattatas and even a few eevees. Found an Oddish on my keyboard and a rattata on the toaster when I went to make lunch

    ^ Quite a drain on the battery there. You're down 8% in 10 minutes...

    It does look fun. Will probably try this soon.

    That's a good point. I didn't even realise that. Yeah it is not a game I would suggest playing if you are going to be out all day without a charger.

    Is anyone else able to get Pokémon Go in Japanese (i.e. with original Japanese names instead of the dub names)? I tried to download the Japanese version, but I got geoblocked!

    Also, apparently the Japanese version is currently just the Beta. :/ Hopefully the full version will be out when I'm in Japan in late Sept/early Oct and I can just download the full Japanese version from inside Japan.
