Pokemon Go - Don't be shy....
Discussion
We definitely need an FAQ! I'm only level 5 and way out of my depth already.
For instance, the local gym icon keeps changing colour and different animals appear over it. I guess that's different factions taking it over? I'm not going there as it is next to a school and play area... Yeah.

The ones that you currently cannot get is.
the 3 legendary birds
Mew
Mewtwo
Ditto
They are in the games code but you cannot catch them.yet.
Also, the game checks your location every 60sec In order to get the distance and deduct that from the egg counter. The distance is always measured in a straight line and doesn't consider corners/turns. So if you're trying to hatch an egg, walk a straight path. Ontop of that if the distance is greater than 300metres the distance is rejected.

300m/min equals 18km/h.What's your source?

Dunno what your source is, but that's incorrect. I've Walked in a circle for ten mins and the distance has gone up.

Took a trip into Birmingham yesterday, it's just crazy how many Pokestops are there. We went to the Catherderal and it was crazy! 8 Pokestops all with lures going off. I got around 20K xp in an hour or so.
Snap! We had a walk round the town too and caught some uncommon (to us) stuff, good day overall
I think it's a bit crap that there's always mountains to do/catch/swipe in urban areas.. we're not exactly short of reasons to go there already. It'd be nice if it was promoting getting out in the country - which is, after all, where you find actual nature, so why not Pokémon?
There's a canal with dozens of locks along a mile or so length just up the road from me, and that's got plenty of Pokéstops and reasonable spawns, but typically being away from towns seems to mean you're wasting your time, which is a shame.
On the other hand, I'm currently in a tiny village in Scotland which happened to have a gym, now mine
I put my 643CP Pidgeot in there, and two team-mates helpfully reinforced it with a 131CP Bellsprout and a 73CP Venonat 
remind me again why you can't have more than one of your Pokémon in a gym....

Was to the shop and back (ok only 1/2 mile trip) several times.. Nothing.
Walked to big shop (2 miles) - 1 pidgey.
Thought "why not try the bike?" 5 mile ride, 1 rat and something that buzzed and was really big and round, but the game crashed so I couldn't catch it.
Looking at poke vision, there's only 2 Pokemon in the whole of wilmslow one rat and one pidgey. Effectively means game unplayable unless I move back to Manchester city centre? I mean - poke vision doesn't know my level so there's nowt to catch here!

That's like putting up a tiny picket fence around a castle I put my 643CP Pidgeot in there, and two team-mates helpfully reinforced it with a 131CP Bellsprout and a 73CP Venonat remind me again why you can't have more than one of your Pokémon in a gym....I'm currently part of a 6 man strong gym in town, I honestly don't see us losing it anytime soon, all our Pokemon are 1000cp+

I spend a lot of time just up the road in Alderley and it's exactly the same while going on a walk there. Pigeons and rats.Was to the shop and back (ok only 1/2 mile trip) several times.. Nothing.
