This game looks so much fun, and I've never even really go into Pokemon!

No age limit, don't be bothered because it's pokemon!

When it comes to hatching eggs do you need to be connected to the internet for it to work?

Me and a group of mates had a lure set up last night. We was siting in my car and an old couple in there late 50's/early 60's sat on a bench and leeched our lure.

So there is no age limit. Download and enjoy!

Yes, as your GPS movements need to be received by the game servers to calculate progress,

Out of Pokeballs

I'm stuck at home with a bad knee so can't walk to get some more.
I'm also a bit worried about buying them as i download the APK from a website so don't really want to risk putting my details in.

I'm fairly sure it's all nice and secure through google, I wouldn't worry

Capture Bonuses:
-Nice 10XP
-Great 50XP
-Excellent 100XP
-Curveball 10XP

So when the green/yellow/red circle starts shrinking, landing your pokeball within that circle will grant you the nice/great/excellent bonus relative to the size of the circle when you hit. So hitting within the circle when it is tiny will get you an excellent.

Good info, thanks. Any idea if pulling off a Great or an Excellent increases your chances of capture?

I haven't seen any confirmation, but anecdotally it would seem so.

That said, I also had a yellow Jynx, that I gave a razz berry to, AND threw a 'great' great ball at, and she popped out instantly and ran away. lol

Amazing, 'pay us to play the game for you!'

Some of you guys are well ahead. I'm on day 2 and my best company is 300~ cp. I did have 1 question, can you get better CP pokemon that are still lacking in the powerup bar (so still low on the half circle bar), or is it always correlated to their CP.

I think the power up bar (semi circle) is just a visual representation of max CP, once it's full that pokemon is maxed out unless you evolve it? not sure though.

Ok, but does each pokemon have the same end CP, or does it scale as you level up. Wondering if its worth upgrading things I've caught now or saving for later.

It's correlated. But the bar scales up the higher your trainer level, so your trainer level caps the max CP the pokemon can achieve.
