Just reached level 21, Team Valor, 66 caught, 70 seen.

I don't have a cell phone though and that's shared with my oldest while playing on a laptop. (You can move around on the map with wasd) It's fun to see all the places in the game I usually ride through while cycling, lots of stuff I never notice while cruising by.

The town we live in is pretty small with only a couple gyms and pokestops. Currently I'm (at home) 'walking' around the Hamilton bay area which is the most active place I've seen yet. It's close to McMaster's university campus and has tons of pokestops and plenty gyms close together. There's lures everywhere and the gyms cycle around like traffic lights.

Even with the obvious advantage of 2 people playing and being able to run through buildings and across water at about 20kph, it seems impossible to catch up. Best we have is a 1221 Hypno and 1123 Tentacruel, yet some gyms are already over cp 2000. Not that there is any point in taking over gyms other than xp.

Without the social aspect it's not a very good game, just interesting enough to play while browsing the web or watching Netflix. Ooh wild Rhydon just appeared, 67 caught.

This is one of the stranger posts I've read, using gps spoofing on accounts should hopefully have them banned from the game soon, having people cheating around the globe because they have "only a couple of gyms" in their town. Our town of 100k people has around 4/5 gyms in it I'm not going to use that or the fact that there are people who have put more time and effort into the game as reasoning to "cheat" in something like this, that's nuts logic.

It's not just the social aspect of the game you are missing out on, by trying to play this as an actual PC game with wasd you're just missing the entire point of the game.
