So what happens if you leave a Pokemon in the gym? Do you lose it? Also if a gym is full of Pokemon how are we suppose to add ours into it?

If you leave one there you can not use it whilst it holds the gym. As soon as someone else takes the gym you get the pokemon back with 1hp.

A gym has 6 levels I believe (6 slots) however these slots are only unlocked when you reach certain gym prestige levels. You add prestige exp and rank up a gym by fighting/ training against your own team. Defeat them and you get exp and eventually levels. 1 level = 1 more slot.
 
Ive only just installed it on my phone, but I have a few silly questions:

- from what ive seen you can only catch pokemon, there is no battling with pokemon/other trainers apart from at gyms, is this correct?

- and why would i bother to catch the same pokemon twice?

- do pokemon spawn randomly or are there specific spawn points for specific pokemon? How fast do they respawn?

thanks

EDIT: one last one - the footsteps indicate how far away a pokemon is, but how do you find which direction it is in?

You really have to draw a fine line between focusing on reality and on your screen at the same time. I am 40 and am enjoying the game (I know it won't hold) but I have walked into quite a few tree branches lately and have the forehead scratches to prove it....

How is it different from everyday commute?

panyan -> catch same pokemons and transfer them, you get candy for them, which you use to evolve pokemons.

To expand on that:

Prestige determines how many pokemon can be slotted in a gym, 2000 per slot.

Increase your gym's prestige by 'training', which means defeating your own gym (defending pokemon heal back to full).

Winning a training session with a Pokemon with CP under that of the defender gives you more Prestige than winning with one with more CP, so exploit type weaknesses.

Battling and winning against an enemy gym reduces their prestige.

You always fight the pokemon in order of weakest to strongest CP.

You can team up with friends to attack multiples on one if you attack the gym at the same time.

Reducing prestige enough to remove a slot means that the weaker pokemon get removed and sent back to their owners with 1hp.

Once you have reduced their prestige to 0, the gym becomes grey and can be claimed. ANYONE nearby from any team can claim it, so be quick after your win.

The number of gyms you have a pokemon at gives you reward every 21 hours (500 stardust and 10 pokecoins).

Hope that helps.

Yeah catch everything you see, you get so much XP for evolving Pokemon and the only way to evolve them is catch more of the same.

Although at the same time, I'd hold off evolving until you're a higher level as the starting CP of wild Pokemon will increase the higher level you are
 
Does this game have legs?
I still think Nintendo are missing a trick.

It's share price has increased by so so much may because of this game! Looks like near 70pc increase!
 
Since the uk release of this, evertime I catch one it just hangs on the ball so I need to force close and reload. Still uses up a ball though and since I'm nowhere near a pokestop it's getting annoying
