Oh, God, no! The last thing that needs to be encouraged is the limitations that the old game systems provided. They are awful. Gotta catch 'em all, not trade them all. Also, I think it would be bizarre to have all these opposing teams being actively encouraged to trade with each other instead of with their own team members.

So I downloaded it yesterday and there is a Pokéstop I can access from my flat. Pretty happy with that. Drowzee and Jynx seem to be flavour of the day in Edinburgh. I've also managed to grab Charmander (starter), Caterpie, Pidgey, Rattata, Nidoran (F), Nidoran (M), Clefairy, Zubat, Oddish, Paras, Bellsprout, Gastly, Hypno, Krabby and Horsea. I've seen shadows for a bunch more, including Squirtle, Weedle, Spearow, Pidgeotto, Raticate, Shellder, Koffing, Seadra, Staryu, Goldeen, Magikarp and what I think was either Dratini, Lapras or something like them.

All this so far done without going out of the flat to catch any. I also discovered that due to traffic in the city, I'll be hatching eggs in decent time because the tram / buses slow down to a crawl that seems to count as me walking. Finally, my commute is working for me. Oh, and there are buttloads of Pokéstops on the way, too, so that's nice.

The nearest gym to me is juuuuust out of my flat's reach, which is annoying, but oh well. I'd have to go around and stand awkwardly outside an old bar full of boozers and smokers. Not sure I wanna linger there. Oh well.

Work has been dead so far. Everything is three prints away.
