    I finally reached Level 5 yesterday and I chose Team Mystic (yellow) because whenever I ignore my instincts things don't go well.

    My biggest frustration right now is that the gyms around me are held by Pokemon with really high CPs, like 800 - 950! I have no chance at training my Pokemon that way. :(

    I run a Meetup group (Geekitude - East Coast) and I think I'm going to schedule a training session on Sunday in Old Town Alexandria which is near the water and has lots of Pokestops. This game is so much fun!

    Team Mystic

    My husband is on Team Valor. It seems to be mostly a battle between Valor and Mystic here. While there are some Instinct players they don't hold any gyms for very long. The parks are full of people playing and socializing since the game came out.

    San Angelo, TX. I've been using it to make my walks more interesting, but not much outside that (though I love games). Just hit level 5, leaning towards Valor for my team. Fridays should be more interesting too since I hang out downtown with my coworkers (of which several also play).

    I'm also from Minnesota, and am on Team Mystic! I just downloaded the app yesterday morning and I'm obsessed. I'm trying to figure out how to make it fun for my three year old joining me on extended walks to find Pokémon... Maybe she would have fun spinning the coin at the PokeStops. Must try this tonight!

    Team Mystic here. I'm in Portland, Oregon - and I must say that I've walked more in the past week than I have since... I can't remember. It's fantastic. =)

    NC, Team Valor, my starter was Charmander because I figured it was just training to throw Pokeballs. I've spent entirely too much time on this game. :lol:

    Hi! From CT and team Red. Game is still very glitchy for me. Keeps freezing and such so I haven't been able to catch many yet. Hopefully today will be glitch free

    I'm from New Hampshire and chose Team Mystic. I started with Squirtle :) This game has made my morning walks 10x more entertaining and my bf is walking with me more often. Love it!

    I haven't had a glitch-free day yet, but there seems to be fewer as days go by.

    Hello everyone! I love this! I'm from Birmingham, AL and I chose Team Valor because of what they stand for (I also took a quiz to see which I should be on buzzfeed) and because I am a huge Bama fan (ROLL TIDE) and so I just couldn't go blue or yellow. I started with Bulbasaur. I'm loving the way it makes me get out of the house and just walk around. I have a toddler so that has been hard for me but when I have a rare pokemon up the road, at 9:30 at night, I leave her with her daddy and go for a jog. LOL! Last night it was a pigeot up the road but when I got to it, it was red with ?? and VERY hard to catch so it ended up disappearing.

    Central Florida, team mystic. There seems to be an even amount of players for each team in my area and the gyms are constantly flashing different colors. My immediate neighborhood has been great for getting pokemon, but no pokestops. I got a pikachu before I even got out of bed this morning!

    Suburban Saint Louis, Missouri. I am Level 10, Pokedex shows 50 caught. Have not yet chosen a team.
    Highest CP Pokemon currently is a 661 Flareon.

    My favorite place to play P-Go is a small park in town with a half-mile walking trail w/ 7 evenly-spaced pokestops. It's great to stock up on pokeballs, hatch eggs and catch a couple rares in the process. And get fit. :)

    It's fun listening to people trying to describe the game that really don't understand it.
    One of our radio guys in town was talking about it, about how parks and shopping centers are being overrun by people looking for "poke-men," and looking for places to get items you use in the game: "I don't know, guns or something."
    (You're embarrassing yourself; just stop.)

    Southwestern VA here and team Mystic. I picked mainly for the team name and because a few of my friends are on it (also the buzzfeed test confirmed my choice). My husband picked team Valor solely off of colors.

    Where I live is not great for pokestops or gyms, but on the bright side there's been quite a few Eevees. Near work is better since our building is right across from a park.

    I live in South Florida and I chose Team Mystic but there seems to be a lot of Team Valor in my area with a few Mystics and Instincts around. I'm only on level 7 and my starter is Charmander. And even though I mostly get the common pokemon, I like that it helped me be more accountable when it comes to walking especially so I can hatch the eggs.

    Wow! Look away for a minute and the group explodes! Great to see you guys all here, and welcome to everyone from everywhere! Are you all aware of how to get the Eevee evolution you want?

    You just name your Eevee Rainer, Pyro, or Sparky before you evolve it, and you'll get a Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon respectively!

    I've been lucky so far and got a Jolteon first, and a Vaporeon today. I'm going to test the new theory to see if it works when I get enough candies for Flareon.

    I'm in Wiltshire, the south west of the UK. I've been playing a week now but this weekend the servers have been down everytime I've gone out, most people in the UK only downloaded it Thursday, I'm hoping tomorrow when I go out it might be a bit quieter.

    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.

    Hi, Flora! I'm in Fairfax as well! My starting Pokemon was Squirtle and I'm Team Instinct (Yellow).

    I'm from Wakefield, UK and chose Charmander because I always choose fire for my starter for some reason.

    Joined Team Valour when I pressed the wrong button, but oh well, sticking with the fire theme.

    I am desperate to find a Vulpix!

    I'm from Oxford, Maine and I'm Team Mystic. I live in the sticks, so I have to drive into town to walk and actually find anything.

    Hey y'all! I'm from Rhode Island, and I chose Squirtle to start, and I think I'm on Valor? The red team, anyway, haha. Love how my obsessive need to catch all these guys makes me get out and walk.

    I live within walking distance of at least 6 pokestops, which is awesome!
