    A few questions..

    1. Does every time you miss with a pokeball count as a lost pokeball?
    2. Can you only get pokeball with coins? And can you only get coins by buying em?

    Yeah you lose it. And you can get pokeballs at pokestops when you spin the joint. I only bought 100 pokeballs the first day then just kept re-upping at the pokestop. I got a lot around my crib.

    Yeah i picked up on that after a few minutes. Is there any benefit to catching the same Pokemon over and over again?

    trade em in for candies

    so if you have 10 Pikachu's, keep ur highest level one, trade the rest to the guy for one candy apiece

    u can only feed that candy to that specific Pokemon

    they evolve and ?

    Yeah, you get like 500xp when you evolve a pokemon. The higher your level the better pokemon you run into. I basically catch every rattata and pidgey just for that reason. I'm level 10 now.

    Also it's good to catch Pokemon cuz if you have a lucky egg that experience points is good then evolve Pokemon you already have you can level up quickly

    It's a good thing I get paid to drive around a college campus. I'm catching Pokemon using state money on gas and my phone battery AND I'm on the clock surrounded by Pokestops everywhere lmao

    Can you create the Pokémon you want in the egg by breeding or is our an environment thing?

    Old Pokémon games it was based on breeding.

    Ayo Anyone else having problems getting on?

    I started yesterday morning and today I was playing earlier on my way home from work. Got home and settled in. Decided I was gonna go out to grab some pizza (giving me an excuse to go out and play some more) and the ? basically restarted my game! I had already caught 6 pokemon. When I closed the app since I figured it was a glitch, the ? hasnt loaded back since. It keeps telling me cant retrieve my player info.

    Idk what to do, this ? making me sad

    Finally got some pokeballs. Like 30. Went to a gym and got bodied by a Golbat.

    Anybody know how to use both attacks?

    I know you tap for 1, but how do you use the 2nd?

    This app has GOAT potnetintial, but I'm been spending more time trying to keep it from freezing and the server going down than actually playing.
