@Grookey: I hear ya. Somehow, I got lucky, and there's a gym right under my building. I can access raids and protect the gym not even getting off the couch.
But if I didn't have that, I prolly wouldn't bother much walking around and raiding.
For now, I decided to mainly turn on the app occasionally at home, or if I'm near a wifi hotspot.
Why do you play, as a casual player?
@So What: Wow that's pretty lucky lol, bet you get a lot of coins because of that. Have you been able to capture any legends that might spawn at the gym? Also I wasn't always a casual player, at the start of the game I was really active. I thought it was the coolest thing when you could track the pokemon's footsteps. Two of my brothers and one of their friends walked to/around the mall with me, trying to catch cool pokemon like dratini lol. When they removed that, my brother stopped playing immediately though, so it's just mom and I now.
As a casual player though, it's a way for my mom and I to bond, she gets very excited encountering new pokemon, hatching eggs, participating in raids (even if we can't beat it.) Usually we'll walk to the gym that's just down the street, but sometimes we go to the park.

@Totalanimefan: I'm level 29, I don't do raids very often. If I'm already at a location that has a raid going on I'll enter it, other than that... not really. Usually the ones I care about (legendary) there's no one else at them.
@Totalanimefan: Not really? Or not that I've noticed. You see a few players at the college, but.. It's really just mom and I. If I had more friends it'd probably be easier to do raids. I might go to the park for community day, but probably not. I don't care too much for slakoth, if anything I'd get a shiny to annoy a friend of mine with. He absolutely haaates sloths.
@Totalanimefan: Oh nonono, I don't particularly care for slakoth which is why I wouldn't want to get it. However, it would be fun to annoy my friend by capturing a shiny one and showing him it lol.
My mom and I do those lower level raids occasionally, it's just not too often. Maybe once a month or so? Usually more than that, but her foot is broken right now so we play less now.

@Totalanimefan: She broke 4/5 metatarsals, BUT she has made a 100% recovery. They were really fretting over her possibly needing surgery. The swelling just needs to go down now. That's pretty much what we're doing now too, haha. She feels so bad if she can't send gifts to the people on her friends list.
@Grookey: I'm glad to hear your mom's doing better! It's not much, but send her love from us across the world :D
How long do they reckon will take for the swelling to go down?

@So What: Thank you so much! 
They didn't give an estimate, but did give her the OK to walk without the cast/boot. She's broken her foot before so I reckon it'll take a little bit longer than usual, maybe? Hopefully by the end of June she'll be able to walk on it without any problems, she's able to walk without the cast/boot most of the time. It'd be a shame if she had to spend most of the summer inside.

I play when I can! Feel free to add me. 8543 9677 6333
That's about the same for me xD though lately the game is being a butt and not loading properly
I play when I'm able to leave the house. We only have one car so I don't always have time to get out and play. But when I do leave I do play.
Oh btw, whici teams are you all on?
I have a grave underrepresentation of team instinct in my city. Wherever I go, it's red and blue gyms.
Which is why I'm gladly keeping a yellow outpost in the gym across the street. Feel like a lone ranger hahaha

I'm on blue.
Can you change teams? Is that an option yet?

Team instinct for me. :) I have a Pokemon thread that I been writing voltras members teams down in for fun. Though I think I may have made it on my alt xD it's a hangout.
There is a way to change teams now. Pretty sure. Some coo. Thing you can buy?
Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.
I'd like an option to change if I wanted to. I've been debated changing to instinct but I don't know many players we have around my area in there.
@Queen of Trash: You can change teams, but it cost 1,000 coins. My area has almost no instinct players. :c During big raid events we usually split groups up based on teams so we can fit everyone into a raid. We always have to do two groups for mystic, one group for valor, and then stick the remaining instinct players in whatever group has room because there's only 2-3 of them.
@Totalanimefan: Congrats! I haven't found a shiny yet today, but I did level up already. c:
