Works quite well when the US is asleep.
Yep. Also, a 2 hour drive through London in a moving van netted me 40 Pokemon, including an Eevee, Jinx and Squirtle

Had a rarer one pop up earlier, escaped 3 times, then I ran out of poke balls, used about 40!

How come this is still not available on my iPhones App Store?
Not out in the UK officially and Niantic is now delaying the EU release until they sort their servers out.
You can however change your Apple account region to the US to download it.
I don't think the pokestops refreshing quick is a big deal as balls arnt that valuable, and eggs take time/distance to incubate.
There should be a trade feature though, and the gym battles are a bit meh, should be turn based so you can think about what you are doing instead of just tapping. Seems a bit hit and miss.

How you do this? When I do it, it says I need a credit card, and obviously I have one but since my billing address is UK - it doesn't switch the region?

Love the concept of this, think they've done really well. Can see it becoming addictive and kids must love it.
sign out of app store
go to settings general location change to usa
go to app store try to download a free app
Create a new account based in USA
Bill none
google a random address for usa and setup a new email address.
it will then change to usa app store.
Once installed do reverse to get back to normal UK app store

Hardly massive gaps in their release dates, 5 months apart but both well over 4 years ago.

I think the game needs a minimum of 4.4 Kitkat, although not 100% sure on this. And Apple supported the 4s for a very long time.

Oh yeah, forgot no trading either. This game really does stretch the definition of a Pokemon game thin
No trading, no turn based combat, no Pokémon levels or experience gaining, no battling wild Pokemon, no PvP...
Pokemon do level up and evolve.
Its a good start, has potential, if they add more servers!

Not through gaining XP from battles they don't. You just 'buy' them. I evolved a Rattata through doing nothing more than simply catching and then transferring a bunch of Rattatas. The one I evolved had never battled and was just the one I randomly picked.
The game lacks almost all of the core mechanics of Pokemon, and its not things that will be easy to add later. The trailer says Go Catch, Go Trade, Go Battle and Go Play Together. 3 of those 4 things are missing.
I've actually resorted to playing Emerald on a GBA emulator instead

I can't say I'm overly impressed with it so far, huge battery drain, causes my phone to overheat.. and I hate to say it but, what is the point?
I do hope that it improves..

Cannot believe how popular this is even though its not out over here yet.
Took a little walk through town last night and must have spotted 20+ people walking around playing.
Also found a gym with 2 team standing next to it fighting constantly for control. Honestly feels like the mid 90s again. Its nuts!
Hope this get released over here for real soon, everyone and their mum will be playing it.
