Yeah, I tend to play more in the mornings because America is sleeping and that seems to make everything work a lot better. Can't wait for them to iron out all these issues, but it's understandable to some extent - they have to balance getting more servers to keep up with demand against the inevitability that a lot of people will stop playing soon after release, so figuring out just how many servers they should anticipate needing for one month from now is not an enviable task.

Still, would be nice if they communicated with us a little.

Also, omg, Growlithe, stop running away. Raspberry, Great Ball, escapes immediately and runs off. Doesn't he know how to play fetch!? You return to the person throwing the item!
