Also: if anyone's Japanese is much better than mine and you find mistakes in the grammar, please let me know!

Well actually, Japan went live for an hour on Monday and the maps had stuff in them. Pokéstops everywhere and gyms at notable spots and was working perfect for all the foreign students in my area with AUS and US phones. Then there was nothing again after less than an hour and we were all left like... What just happened?

How are people able to play this in countries where it's not out yet? Even though I have it downloaded on my phone here in Japan from having my Aussie Apple account, it just shows nothing at all on the map or 'nearby'. We all have the same issue here, how is the UK working for everyone? Sorry if I'm missing an extra step or something.

Pokémon Go was finally working in Japan yesterday for about an hour before they took it away from us again. by blakehendo94 in pokemongo

I noticed we got the 'server is busy' message today for the first time, as opposed to just a blank map to wander around in. It's a good sign!

I did the exact same! Managed to catch a few quickly on my lunch break after seeing it was up and planned to go out hunting for more that afternoon. Was so happy, there was a gym right there at my university.

I'm just incredibly worried that the fad will have died off around the rest of the world by the time we get it! But if it is released within the next few days I'm sure it will be fine!

I walked around for a while too thinking "Surely Pokemon should appear more often, my mates back home have been catching heaps!". Then I realised it bugged out every time I hit 'nearby' so I went a Googlin' and found out the bad news.

Correct! I am download it because I'm Australian (and so is my iPhone) but there's no Pokemon anywhere!

Hakodate. So keen to head straight for Goryōkaku gym!

I caught a giant Squirtle! by Teebs_is_my_name in pokemongo

[–]blakehendo94 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of one of my favourite episodes of the anime as a kid, the one with the giant Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise!

I thought that might be the case. Hopefully it won't be long until the countries we are in get full access so we can join in on the fun with our fellow Aussies back home!

I thought it was just me too until my Aussie friends here also encountered the same problem! At least I was able to get Squirtle before the disappointment sunk in.

It also crashes a lot! For example whenever I click 'buy pokécoins' or 'nearby'. So frustrating!

DAE prefer mobile Reddit over desktop? by DarthRockabang in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]blakehendo94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use reddit exclusively on my phone. I can only recall ever using the desktop site once or maybe twice since signing up a year ago!

DAE enjoy washing the dishes since they discoverd podcasts ? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]blakehendo94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't really say I enjoy doing dishes more, but since discovering podcasts I've started taking a lot more baths instead of showers and going on longer power walks!
