I've never played Pokemon before or watched the anime, but the Toasties over on the Toast Slack videogames channel were having so much fun with Pokemon Go that I downloaded it. Toby downloaded it, too.

And in between server crashes--for all of the US is trying to catch Pokemons right now--I caught a Squirtle in the media room!




Toby was annoyed because he couldn't get any farther into the game than to find there were Pokemons of some sort at the neighbor's house. I managed to see there was a Charmander across the street, but (a) it's still too damn hot to go outside and (b) constant server crashes.

I caught a Bulbasaur and two Rattata at my desk but then I couldn't even get the app to load on any of my devices at home. I deleted the app. I may come back to it in a few months, but probably not.

There's a gym location at the hospital a few blocks from work, at least.

I just got a Zubat at my desk. There's some sort of gym nearby, but I can't tell where on campus it is right now.

It's crashing and freezing when I even try to log in. Bummer. By the time I get on, it's not going to be possible to do much in a gym...

Whatever server I'm getting on right now is pretty robust--maybe because I'm on a college campus, so they figure it's likely to be heavily used? I caught 3 more walking around the 2nd floor at lunch, and hit another pokestop to stock up on pokeballs.
