downloaded Pokémon Go
Sunday, July 31st, 2016 12:00 pmThis post is backdated, to mark when I first downloaded Pokémon Go.
When the game first released, I was extra busy at work, and I heard about the servers crashing, and the unparalleled permissions demands. So I didn't install until July 31.
My starter pokémon was a charmander (of course!). I didn't at that time know that you can turn away from the trio and find a pikachu as your first catch, but it wouldn't have mattered; I would have chosen charmander anyway (little dragon!).
Once I did install, I kept the AR on for some hours as I figured out how to play. I was vastly amused by the sight of pidgies and rattatas in and around my home. But I quickly figured out that my catch rate went up with the AR off; I've kept it off ever since.
