I feel that this is probably big enough to warrant its own thread.
What level is everyone at now? I am at Level 9 and my best Pokemon is a a CP258 Oddish lol - not really put much time into it at the moment. All the the gyms around me have Pokemon in them that are all 1000+ and are owned by like Level 20s so it is going to be awhile before I can compete.
What Pokemon are common in your area? I am flooded with Drowzees, Zubats, Pidgets and Rattattas primarily, I imagine it is similar with everyone else?

Had the game since it was out on Thursday and have only managed to play it twice because the servers are wank.

Yeah I'm trying to save my data by only going on it when I can get on wi-fi, two stops by my work and there's free wi-fi so that's a bonus. Two gyms too that have been blue for ages so I went team blue hoping to drop some pokemon on the gyms to piggyback off their hard work and by time I went to do so on a break they'd all been taken over and now keep swapping every five minutes. Only level 6, highest is a Raticate 258, only 'rare' I've caught have been Jynx or Rhyhorn or Meowth and even they're ten a penny.
I just want a Blastoise tbfh.

I'm level 9 now and I decided to go instinct, I'm not really sure what impact this has really. My strongest Pokemon is a 521cp Pidgeot but my best catch is 320cp Aerodactyl. Started off with Charmanda and picked up two wild Squirtles. I'm getting pretty much the same regulars as you Exonerator

I play it a couple of times a day, don't really go anywhere to catch things just catch them if I'm there anyway.
I'll never own a gym though, some fella near me owns all the gyms in sight and all of his Pokemon are 1500+ CP. Some dedication that, his best one I've noticed is a 1973 Arcanine or some shit like that.

Was walking through town yesterday and a team instinct gym was nearby that had enough prestige for another person, so I added my Hypno to the cause thinking it would help solidify the gym. Walked away and two minutes later the gym had been taken over. Can't help but feel somehow responsible.

Well I got caught an Aerodactyl today, that will do nicely!
Need to use my lucky egg and evolve loads of Pidgeys for the XP so I can gain a few levels easily. I just want to do it when I am within range of some lures so need to dedicate some time to actually go out and play it properly.
Gyms are a no-go though, not until I work out what the fuck I am doing.

Dropped 2 pokemon on lone-manned gyms down near me that have somehow stayed there for a few hours now, the gyms near me at work change every ten minutes.
First 2km egg hatched earlier and gave me a Charmander. Cba faffing with levelling or training as I'm so far behind tryhards.

I've actually put a bit of effort in so far, and I'm kind enjoying it - especially given how lazy I've been lately.
I'm currently level 15, and have a few pokémon in the 700-800 range. My strongest is an Electabuzz leveled up from an egg, although I did also catch a 738 Nintales in London earlier.
I've done a bit of gym fighting, but haven't yet had an opportunity to add one of mine to a friendly gym. Nothing I've taken has held for long enough for any bonuses.
