I'm from Fairfax, VA (just outside of Washington DC).

The app hasn't worked well enough for me yet to get to join a team (yes, it's that glitchy for me so far), but my starting Pokemon is Bulbasaur.

I'm in Minneapolis, on the yellow team! Love this game already!

Hi! I'm from Central California and on the yellow team. The first day I ran into at least 5 others who were walking through the neighborhood doing the exact same thing! Kids and Adults are getting really into it. In the last few days I've walked at least 5 more miles than I would have otherwise.

Hey All! I'm from Chicago, IL and I'm team Mystic! I can't stop catching Pokemon!
Woke up on a Sunday that I normally would have stayed in bed and ended up walking for 3 hours! This app is so much fun!

I'm in Las Vegas. Haven't picked a team yet.

The name's Tia and I'm team Valor from Melbourne Australia.

I feel like I've benefited heaps from this. I don't think I've sat down properly in almost a week. I was struggling to do 10k steps a day and lately I've been getting to 20k. I've also met people and think it's cool how people are out there helping eachother find a Pokemon lol. It's still surprising to me that it's so intense. I went out to the beach 5 minutes away from me thinking it would be bare but instead at 12am (on a monday night) there were 50 people there in the middle of winter fighting at the gym.

Team yellow from Washington State.
Where I live in town there's really nothing, but in the places that I work I find all sorts of cool ones. If only I could find exactly where they are. My friends upset because she hasn't been able to find pikachu but me and her boyfriend have.

Not sure about my steps. I'm going to go get a fitbit tomorrow to see how I'm doing.
I can't wait to see where this fun app will go.

New Mexico here, and my daughter picked Team Blue for us -- she's 10 and we are sharing my phone for this game. What I really like about this app is that I am thinking not just of "when can I go for a walk" but now it's "WHERE can I go for a walk?" Thinking of taking her to the local university campus this weekend for a Pokemon Go sesh.

Chicago area here, Team Valor (red). Just started yesterday, made it up to level 6. Wound up walking 5.2 miles in search of Pokémon. Caught lots of Rattata and Pidgeys, a few Caterpies, found a Jigglypuff near the local mosque and a Magikarp in the stream near my apartment.

It was a little frustrating though, because the more people who were around me playing the game, the more glitchy the game was. Half of the Pokestops would come up blank. But as soon as I got farther away from the crowds, the game performed better. So I think I will be playing in more remote areas for the time being until they get the servers sorted out.

My favorite part of the game so far is actually catching the Pokémon. I tried my had at a couple of gyms, but failed pretty miserably because I'm still a noob.

Oklahoma City, OK here and Team Valor for me.

Westchester, NY - Team Valor! Just got back from a short walk and found a Pidgeon... and ran out of pokeballs Need to get in a nice long walk downtown, where there are plenty of pokestops.

Greetings. I am Joslyn, I hail from the land of 10,000 lakes known as Minnesota. I am not on a team yet. Haha only level 4. My phone and connection is very spotty so I have not had consistent time doing it everyday but I enjoy it when I get to play randomly at night. I hope to meet many new friends who have a passion for animation and exercise.
