brightknightie: Cropped screenshot of my PokemonGO avatar as seen in gyms (Pokemon Go)
This 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.
