I Need Space: PoGO Gyms

GYMS IN POKÉMON GO

This is the short version. For more detail, go here.

Gyms can be unclaimed, allied, or rival.

Choose exactly one Pokémon to stay at that Gym. You become the Gym Leader.
Gym Leader gets a crown logo, and their Username/Pokémon is listed on gym description.
When people challenge your Gym, they see your avatar standing behind your Pokémon.

Choose exactly one Pokémon to add to that gym; make it stronger.
Fight your own team's Pokémon to practice battling and make the Gym stronger.
If you win, you get trainer xp and the Gym gets Prestige.
Prestige makes the Gym stronger and harder to take over, allows Gym to hold more Pokémon.

Choose 6 Pokémon to take into the Gym battle. Use those Pokémon to fight, in order.
If you win the Gym battle, it knocks that Gym's Prestige down a ton.
If you get the Gym's Prestige to zero, you dethrone their Gym Leader and can take it over.

Combat in Pokémon GO is not turn-based. Every battle is on a visible two minute timer.
Dealing damage: Tap screen to quick attack, hold screen to charge attack.
Avoiding damage: Swipe left/right to dodge. Jump to avoid AOE attacks.
No status conditions in Pokémon GO. Moves can be super effective/not very effective.
Pokémon in Gyms fully heal after a battle. Pokémon training/challenging remain damaged.
Pokémon have HP and Stamina bars. Stamina is used for charge attacks.
You have a camera angle from behind your Pokémon. AR camera can be toggled on/off.

Combat is fast paced and exciting, animation is well done, visuals are colorful and attractive.
Combat is test of skill. Strategy still relevant.
Like in Smash Bros, will learn to use specific Pokémon styles.
I'm very excited. Pokémon GO will change the way we view the world. Pokémon are real, now.
