My first outing hunting Pokemon yesterday was an interesting experience. My brother and I went to the local Walmart (hitting all the Pokestops on the way there ofc) and we bought some stuff while hunting Pokemon. At this Walmart, I got to level 5 and chose Team Instinct. We got home and chilled for an hour or two and we decided to walk around at the local park. We walked, talked, and caught Pokemons (metric fuckton of Magikarps). Then we came across a neutral gym. My brother, having the strongest Pokemons out of us two, decided to take it over. There was this couple there attempting to take over the same gym. After about 5 minutes of my brother battling them for control of the gym and me just walking in circles trying to get an egg to hatch (ending up being a, yet again, fucking Magikarp) the dude looked at us and said, "Good game guys." and walked off.
During this outing we had atleast 3 different people come up and talk to us about where a good Pokemon is at. This game has managed to bring people outside and, if they choose to, socialize with other trainers. It's amazing!
Also, should I evolve my Pokemons as soon as I can or wait? I am level 6 if that makes a difference...
