Evolving should be the least of your worries right now, as is leveling up (the pokemon). I didn't evolve anything besides pidgey, weedle, or caterpie until I was over level 15 (except for a random pokemon I didn't care about and just wanted the pokedex entry). It is just like the old gameboy games. Once you get higher levels, you will find the beginning stage pokemon at higher levels than your evolved ones, so don't waste the candy early on.

I don't think so. That maybe something they include later, but as of right now, no.

I'm afraid to do something like that, but I also haven't made any in-app purchases. I'm living off of the bonus items you get with every level-up. I went with a mini pidgey-leveling session, and jumped three levels. When I checked the main screen and items list, it looked like I only got items for levelling up once. That made me

Sure. Better yet do a lucky egg with incense. Double xp on everything you catch

Looks like the servers are down for me right now. It's also 5:00 AM tomorrow morning in Japan right now... so I think the rest of the day here is fricked.

yeah, this impending server crash might kill PoGo in NA.

fighting vaporeon vs vaporeon in every gym and capturing 10000000000 pidgeys just to make your vaporeon 40 cp stronger wont hold ppls attention much longer

this game was never meant to be this big/popular

Since it is this big and popular, I'm sure there will be updates/nerfs, etc.

I mean shite, they're making like a million dollars a day.

yea, it only recognizes your new level when you capture or fight after making the level I think, so if you level five times without doing ANYTHING in between the levels, it may only recognize it once.

maybe?

Not sure if this is the case of if there's just a lag in between actually leveling up and the game recognizing it.

I thought each country was on its own server?

That's possible. I threw in a "maybe?" at the end of my statement to recognize that.

I mean fricking A. Nintendo and The Pokemon Company own part of Ninantic, surely after all the money they have made they can invest in more servers and a few more staff members to keep the damn game up and running.
