Pokemon Go! Are you playing it?

Super disappointed with the game right now. Updated, now I can't play with just wifi, nice Niantic... take away the tiny little bit of gameplay I could have!

Niantic basically collected the money like "BYE." Apparently they've had a job posting for global community manager for the past month (to communicate the game's issues and how soon they might fix them), but no idea why they haven't found someone yet.

The fact that the tracking function hasn't been working for 3 weeks now is what's getting me. :\

They just straight up removed the tracking, people don't seem too pleased.

LOL I realized that now- that's crazy!

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...2ec8390b59.jpg[emoji29] Super irritated that I can't play with just wifi.

I just started playing a few days ago but it's beastly hot here in Florida so I haven't done much. When I'm not so busy, I try to load it up and play a little, mostly during breaks at work. The data use is a major concern for me. I can deal with the battery usage, but data costs money!

That said, I visited my first pokestops yesterday and got two eggs!

yeah, come on man. fix the tracking. alotta peeps are requesting refunds b/c they bought Pokecoins to buy in-game supplies but now they can't track their desired monsters to catch.

make sure u incubate those eggs! they incubate an hatch as u walk. the eggs with the higher walk goals have the more rare and/or stronger monsters.

i gotta organize and post some of my NYC pix but here's some gym battles we've had over the week...

i took over 2 gyms by myself!

by 9am the next morning, we survive protecting 1 gym. i can't believe it, my Lapras is protecting one of the most popular parks in Seattle and we made it through the night. (yes, we re-named my power line-up that night. ;) )

i did non-Pokemon stuff and our last gym falls by the time i check it in the afternoon.

I personally think it adds more adventure to the game now that they've removed tracking entirely. You still know what's nearby, so I think it just makes you have to explore more to find those cool nearby Pokemon!

I walked around a park today to hit pokestops and caught several pokemon and with today's update, the app only crashed a couple times. I'm pleased. When I tried to update though, it ended up hanging up and I had to delete the app and reload it.

I intended to walk around after dark when it's cooler to hatch the first egg but it's poured rain both evenings so far. I doubt I'll walk tonight, I'm exhausted! But it'll get done sooner or later. Once I get time to air up my bike tires, I can roam around town and hatch eggs easily.

I would sooner dress as a woman and walk around my local mall than play Pokemon Go....or any Pokémon really. I have never understood the obsession. The cartoon/anime sucks too.
