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!

Washington, MO.
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).

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.

I'm in Louisiana. I chose Team Valor.

Columbus OH, Team Valor

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!

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!

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.)

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.

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 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.
