Yes, I know it's not Pretty Cure-related, but I'm kinda curious. Have any of you downloaded the app?

I did, and for me it's kind of a mixed bag. I mean, on the one hand, it's fun to go out and catch Pokemon in real life, and is a great reason to take a walk every now and then. And it's exciting to encounter rare and strong Pokemon.

But on the other hand, because it was released before it was ready, it is extremely glitchy. And there have been times when I was certain I had thrown a Poke Ball correctly, but it somehow missed the Pokemon I was trying to catch. And the fact that you need a certain amount of the corresponding type of candy in order to evolve a Pokemon, and the only way to get that candy is by catching that specific type of Pokemon...that means a lot of grinding.

So, for those of you who are also playing it, what are your thoughts about it?
