So... once I get to level 5, am I absolutely required to join a team?  Is there an option to defect?

Lucky Eggs, only way to obtain is cash shop?

How exactly do I make my critters stronger?  Turn critters into candy and feed em to other critters?

You'll eventually get lucky eggs as a level reward.

Pokemon Go is now out in the United Kingdom

Yep. Pokemon cannibalism FTW. I'm waiting for the day we start seeing Mad Tauros Disease....

I have heard stories of people who are level 19 and still haven't joined a team. Some people are saying how it'd be cool to have Team Harmony (Lugia) or something.

I kinda wish they at least let you switch what team you were once or twice a month. I want to join team blue but if every gym in my town is just blue all the time it just doesn't seem as fun. All I can picture is someone starting up a popular team game like Team Fortress 2 and the first thing it asks is what team you want to be on forever; every server you join forces you to that team. Planetside got away with it because you can create alternate characters that are on a different faction.

I chose Team Red (Valor), because why wouldn't I?

[kilakan]

You can probably create a new character on a new team if you have an android phone, log out of google+ on it and log into a new account.  Then go to the app and try and play it.

It works with some other phone games and I have a mate who got it to work with ingress.  Can't confirm till I get a new cell phone (old one broke a few days before poké-go came out and I am still salty.)

[Girlinhat]

You can make a new account, but then you have to start over...  Or, just never visit a gym.  They're not that great anyways.

Pokemon No (Servers)

[Ozyton]

They have servers, they're just fire types.

If you find that there aren't many PokeStops or gyms around your area Niantic is apparently accepting requests for new locations. That link goes to an IGN article that discusses it and links to the submission form.

[Ozyton]

Here's a link to the form without the article

These server issues, blech.  I hope it dies down as the novelty wears off and people drop the game.
I have never successfully loaded the shop, it's always a white rectangle.
During daylight hours, about a third of the time my pokeball will just sit there forever with the pokemon in it.  Iphone users apparently can resolve this by bringing up the phone menu or something, but on Droid I just have to restart.
This weekend it was basically unplayable, (I only ever managed to catch one thing after the tutorial.)

Blech.  I guess I just need to play late at night, though of course that can be dangerous.
I just reached level 5 today, and joined blue team because my friends did.  Here's how they described it:
Red is mostly young people with bedtimes, they rule the day.
Blue is college students and night owls who reconquer around midnight
Yellow is 4chan (or more generically, memesters)

Dunno if there's any truth to that.  I did shake hands with a cool Red-teamer I met at a gym though!  I told him I was level 5 and he let me have a go against just 1 pokemon for my first battle.
Of course it was some level 400 feathery lightning asshole and utterly destroyed my lvl ~40 pokemon, particularly since I had no idea how to control them   But I haven't upgraded them at all, I thought it was better to wait for higher base stats or something.
Kinda annoyed that I didn't know upgrading gave experience points, reaching level 5 was a little tricky.  Used an incense, which helped a *lot*, but I suspect those are dear.

I put a bird on a friendly gym, don't I get to collect coins from that somehow?  This is quite confusing, but so was Ingress initially.

So Darkrai is being added to Pokken Tournament Arcade Version and a new Sun and Moon trailer came out a bit ago that gives a teaser glimpse at what appears to be the Gen's new battle mechanic

I'll ignore my... disappointment with Pokken Tournament to say...

I find it funny how Fenikin, spelled who cares, is a lot cooler in pokken tournament then it is in the official games.
