Who didn't like that small cute yellow ball when we were little.
In a nutshell, a pokemon outdoor app was released today, it reminds me of the app, of which i honestly forgot the name, that was released by google, i dislike it, it's complicated and has an ugly space-themed interface.
However this one seems easier and straight to the point, a reason to have a walk in the early morning, or if you live in a remote area, and have no means of entertainement.
It's not yet out in lebanese stores, and i'm too lazy to work this around.
I hope it's good.

I downloaded the app (the apk, i can share it with you if you like) started playing around, i am currently level 5.
The other app you are talking about is Ingress, i play it every day.
Basically what Pokemon Go is, a "duplicate"/"copy" of Ingress' data, and use it in a different game, of catching Pokemon.
Ingress uses things called "Portals" which are real life objects/monuments/historical places/churches/mosques etc, and now in Pokemon Go, all those portals of Ingress are switched to be Either Pokemon Gyms or Pokestops.
Even though i agree with you on the ugly-space themed interface (All black), Ingress is much easier and more entertaining, because in ingress you are the one who is making plans, knowing where to go, planning what to do etc...
In Pokemon Go, now i have not yet quite grasped the mechanics of the game and how it works, but i am guessing it is all based on probabilities, like perhaps you walk many kilometers and not a single pokemon appears, or you just open the game in your house, and pokemons start appearing randomly for you to catch.
I might be wrong though, i dont know the game is still in its early phases, all will be cleared after its a few months old.

I played it for 2 hours, and i got hooked up pretty badly.
Going for a pokemon hunt in the afternoon ^.^
If anyone plans on doing that too, don't forget to bring along a portable battery pack... this game is HEAVY on power consumption!

The word going around the Internet is people getting banned from servers if they use the workaround to play it in places where it is not released yet. Can anyone here comment on this?

i've been playing it from the first day it was released in New Zealand from the same link provided by ngel. Till now i haven't got banned and i'm always able to connect to the server.

Me, among many others dude
My pc is worth way above 3.5K$, yet I am going out every night twice to do a poke hunt....
And i have a G4, and i used to charge it 3 times a day, BEFORE pokemon go. Now i just keep it plugged ^.^ Problem solved, pokemon caught, everyone is happy

great game, but need to be updated badly, since there many critical bugs in this build.
a lot of times when i catch a pokemon the game just freezes which will force me to close the app from the task manager .
server problems are numerous, like not being able to login , or not seeing any pokemon/pokestop/gyms on the map. or delays and frequent hanging in the game.
that being said, this game is a lot of fun specially for old fans of the franchise.
i do wish for them to add more features, i think we will have to wait and see.

Those who used the apk, when updates are implemented, how do you update?
Ngel
has any update been implemented yet ? because i doubt the server will allow multiple client versions to connect

Serebi is not in the game files yet
Mew, Mewtwo, Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres are in the game file, but no one has seen them yet. Hints says that they will be placed a special global events, and will be spawned manually.
