So far, gameplay seems to consist of a lot of:

@RnMissionRun I was in the park on a walk and spotted a gastly. One pokeball it escaped from, the other one had it captured... then game stops. I closes it, reopen, and I get that. Worst part, there was another guy like 10 feet away catching the same gastly and he had no issues.

Geez, where is this person? There's a poke stop everywhere! I have like 3 within a mile radius, and I'm considering that lucky.

While you guys are busying yourselves with this game, try not to forget something suuuuupeeeeeer important!
Good hunting, and all that.

They may live in a more rural area. Where I lived prior to my move to Seattle, there was pretty much absolutely nothing on Ingress without driving a short ways. The more populated and tech-prone areas are going to have more Pokestops because they have more Ingress portals.
Here in Seattle region, there are bus stops that are portals. Trail markers. Heck I own a portal that is 'ornate sewer cover.' Bet that's a pokestop, actually. I'll find out the next time I go see my therapist.

My town is freaking full of pokestops.

The water tower near me had a blue square that turned purple as I got close and gave me three pokeballs. That's a pokestop?
And I think I found a pokemon I can catch. It was a tower looking icon with what I believe is a dragonair in the middle.... man, wish I walked the extra bit to see what it was!

I think the best thing I've seen is a gym which is a portapotty.

Yes! That was a Pokestop. The square turns to a circle and then you can tap and spin it. There's a wait between 'spins,' too.
The other thing you saw was a gym. You can tap on them in the distance to see info, but you can't until you're level 5. You do have to be right there to battle or train at it, though.
Wild Pokemon will just appear on the map.
As a note: you do not need to be 'on top of' or have the wild Pokemon inside the ring to catch it. If it's on your screen, it's in range. Just tap on it.
Bolded because this is the cause of people trespassing, crowding businesses, etc. They think they need to be 'on top of' the wild pokemon like they do for Pokestops and Gyms. You don't. If you see it, tap it, and you can try to catch it.
ETA: If you can't, it's probably a server issue. But the intent (and in practice, during beta) is that if you can see it and aren't moving too fast (in a car, because it speedlocks), you can catch it.

Hah. Was walking the neighborhood tonight (don't have too many poke stops close by me but I live in the suburbs) and came across a guy doing the same thing. He paused as I did, we both caught a pokemon, realized what we were doing and laughed. THEN we realized we were on different teams and now we're mortal enemies.

I have to say that aside from it looking like a cute little game I am happy to have it so I can have motivation to get off my butt and walk. XD

So not only do people ignore where they're going while texting, now they're doing it playing this game?

Yeah, my friend from Twitch tripped in a hole while walking with her kids and playing it with them. Banged up her knee something awful.

I can't believe that I was out in 94F heat today looking for Pokemon. It usually takes an act of Congress to get me out of the house in this kind of weather.

Playing Pokemon Go for the first time.
The evolution of Nintendo getting people to go outside. (Except the list should have started with Boktai.)

So, my twelve year old son is playing this and I decided to play too. So yesterday, I get a knock on my door and open it. A seven year old little boy and girl are standing there holding a cell phone. "Um, excuse me Miss? Can we go in your back yard, there's a pikachu we want to catch."
I smile sweetly and say, "I'm sorry, there's a dog back there." and close the door. Guess who's got a fucking pikachu?! This girl!
