I chose instinct but the game glitches and made me valor...
HardRockAnal
Instinct for life!
SunfishHero
Downtown Sacramento, CA is pretty competitive on all sides. The gyms are an ever changing rainbow. No one dominates here.
RyanMcFlyin
TEAM I N S T I N C T!!
LoudAngryJerk
I would never not pick zapdos
BethanyButElectronic
I picked instinct intentionally knowing they'd be underdogs
Falos
This has actually been drawing me, if it doesn't hinder my game too badly.

Damn Zapdos is really the most badass of the trio. But I couldn't resist Team Valor
BropaneAndBropaneAccessories
You've made good choices my friend.
SugarSmack
Team Instinct is the Hufflepuff of Pokemon Go.
WaluigiInAWheelchair
I'd say Ravenclaw. Underrated, and biding our time...
RobotsAndLasers
Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff is "team Harmony".
Felyne
You wish you were Ravenclaw.
goldensky
So if I take Instinct, I'm going to be the tiny team that nobody likes?
ThatOneGifOfJerryFuckingTomInTheAssIsMySpiritSlave
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
goldensky
I'm electrical engineer, I have to go with Zapdos.
ThisIsGod
No, you'll be apart of an amazing group that is beloved by all...also, you'll get a free puppy.
goldensky
Shit I'm not ready for a dog XD
ecodude
Then you'll get a stuffed puppy.
LatoyaTheExploya
What is this gif from? I keep trying to figure out what is destroying those shelves. Is it dinosaurs or something?

SPIDERMAN
JustTakeItAtFaceValue
I see Spiderman behind team Mystic's Articuno. And the old man kinda looks like Stan(I assume)

Omg, I see Spiderman now! Thank you so much

And Stan Lee i hope
theblackcanaryyy
Hahahahaha dinosaurs. Oh man I needed that. Thank you.
RiftRaptor
You rang?
muttonchoppa
I've been playing very casually since it came out. I'm only level 4. Still dont know what team to join. Advice?
VenserArtifice
I am biased to picking no faction. Stay out of this mess and focus on what matters: Converting an army of pidgedies into super-steroids.
MrBlewSky
i dont think it makes any bit of difference tbh - that said, TEAM MYSTIC
KPopGirlKimi
TEAM MYSTIC MASTER RACE! #BLUETEAMBESTTEAM
muttonchoppa
any unbiased logic behind your thought process?
KPopGirlKimi
Oh because I prefer team blue's aspect of evolving pokemon, rather than red's leveling up and yellow's breeding/hatching theme
gursai
Mystic.
muttonchoppa
I was looking for maybe a more expansive answer. Like if your area has a lot of X, join Y because leveling up is easier. Or join X cause...
Gwaiin
If your area is ruled by mystic, and you want to do well in the game, join mystic. The most challenge come from being the little guy though.
Waarro
Depending on how strong the leading side is, though, you might have an easier time leveling by choosing against them. Only can use 1 to 1/2
Waarro
train against your own team's gym while you can use 6 against an opposing gym, and as long as you beat 1 opponent you'll gain XP
nendzeey
whoever first started this rivalry: thank you for creating these glorious role assignments
MLGsandwichmaker
I mean, stat wise Zapdos is the best so obviously his team is the best and red v blue are just natural enemies as colors lol
uhhMurdok
Stat wise and movepool make Zapdos the best, still picked Valor for red, even though Moltres sucks, Charizard is way more usable then him.
Felyne
Moltres in rain is deceptively strong. Wish I could say the same of Articuno, ever so unusable competitively.
uhhMurdok
Really? What changed? I remember Dos being an absolute beast, Uno being an okay tank, and Tres being wasted stats, quit keepin up after FR
Felyne
Rain is prevalent and has steel and grass types. Hurricane, strong flying move, has 100% accuracy in rain.
JustAnotherCynicToo
It's always been Red v. Blue, so in this, Yellow is the underdog.
SailorVSays
I honestly don't get the whole rivalry thing. Does it really matter which team you pick?
SavageHonesty
Right now, in game, no. IRL if you have self respect, yes.
SailorVSays
And why is that? What does it really matter?
Iwillhaveoneofeverything
It's absolutely fascinating we developed an entire culture of traits around the teams. Despite only getting 3 lines to describe them in game
ThatOneGifOfJerryFuckingTomInTheAssIsMySpiritSlave
I wonder if that's deliberate, so that if they do flesh them out canonically, they can fall in line with community expectations.
Iwillhaveoneofeverything
Could you clarify what you mean by deliberate as in by whom?
ThatOneGifOfJerryFuckingTomInTheAssIsMySpiritSlave
The developers. Leave it vague, let the community invent this stuff (we've demonstrated we're good at it), then hop on that train.
iDrinkDrano
Well I mean it's based on fighting, learning, or eating paste
iwantalltheinternetpointsonlyfromcomments
I truly laughed way to hard. Take your +1
PolarHailStorm
The thing is, as a Mystic, I jokingly carried on these roles with friends, but as the days went by it got more ingrained... Now it 1/2
Different55
"as the days went by" dude it's been like a week.
PolarHailStorm
Sure, but it feels like longer due to immersion and saturation of the game in all media forms. Also I said days, not weeks :P
PolarHailStorm
really feels like there's some genuine reason there that has me picking apart Valor gyms first and foremost, and giving them more banter 2/2
GalbatoexCaedes
you make it sound like this started half a year ago mate
thegoldenalchemist
Time passes differently in the real world than here on imgur... almost as if it is more slow... A week on imgur gives a month in the real.
BridgetoTerabithiawasshit
In my group of 3 friends, the roles are flipped. Friend A is shy and Valor, Friend B is childish and Mystic and I'm an arsehole Instinct.
GingerGrootGamer
You are the arsehole.
UberEmployed
My 2 friends started before I did and picked mystic and valor without taking to each other. I picked instinct knowing full well their choice
DiscipleOfAnorak
My friend group, and extended friend group, all planned this out and chose team valor. It's pretty fucking awesome
goldenspider666
Most of my friends are mystic with like one valor and one instinct
Wolverinebrandedcircumcisions
I look at the bright side. I can always use 6 pokemon at any near by gym.....GO TEAM INSTINCT
Pr3daking
I just picked Instinct because I like the colour yellow... now I'm glad I joined Instinct because of the solidarity we all share.
RuckOverMe
instinct reins in Arkansas. We just took over all 4 gyms at Harding University
ItWasNothinButGarlic
I've conquered my whole area, team instinct ftw
Waddafaq
I solo held half my town for the first 5 days... but now it's just me and like two other people against everyone
DevinIsConstantlyTired
Instinct or extinct am i right?
ItWasNothinButGarlic
Yes
DoubleNubbin
I went yellow because all the gyms around me were blue and red. The ratio has not changed. I take a gym then it reverts 10 minutes later.
Zoronii
I took a Valor gym at the mall this weekend. Soon after I was joined by a CP 113 Psyduck and then Mystic took over :(
ThatTransformersDude
All I saw was the tri-force being explained and went with what Link would have picked.
Ravenclanner
Instinct DOMINATES in Baton Rouge. LSU, i guess.
whiskeyonthebeach
What do you mean? Are there gyms where you have to use fewer Pokemons?!
Wolverinebrandedcircumcisions
I mean, if your team owns the gym you can only train with 1 pokemon.
SarahsAlbums
I was wondering how people take over my gym so easily then put in shit
KPopGirlKimi
Its so that they can fight themselves with their higher cp pokemon used to beat you. Its easier that way to get xp points too.
whiskeyonthebeach
Ah, okay, thanks. First time I've done that I was startled that I "battled" my own team. As if we have it not hard enough ;)
TheMaestro66
"You mean there can be yellow gyms?" Yes, friend, welcome to the team -_-'
IPoopAfterDrinkingCoffee
Fucking team instinct. Glorious bastards we are.
imasneakypineapplehead

Yay electrocuted chickens! We shall calmly prevail. Very calmly.

Team Winstinct!
Nuttburger
You guys are the watchers on the wall, you don't own any land and don't get involved in the wars of the teams
gibbusChrist
Went to a concert yesterday and heard someone say they were instinct. As loud as I could I screamed "GOLD TEAM RULES" and so many others /2
gibbusChrist
Around joined in chanting it as more and more joined in
Elphienis
Instinct or Extinct!
Samwichh27
The nicest people I've met while playing have been Instinct! What a good group we are :)
mynameisbucky
Come to my city! There are dozens of us! Dozens!
TheLegendaryHeropon
Yes, all 12 of you
Cassiraa
you beautiful paste-eaters
JamarJamalJamalJackson
We are the bourgeois, the patricians, the cultured.
IOnlyFavoriteDickButtAndImNotEvenMad
Aye.
AirshipCircus
Team Instinct. We're just happy to be here.
DerekSalisbury
I could not agree more
SkylaKitty
*disagree
boobphysicist
what do you do after drinking coffe?
Mirawatts
Since he's team Instinct, probably goes back to eating paste.
boobphysicist
look at his username
DontGoInTheDogPark
I got pushed into team instinct. I feel like a spy for mystic

As a mystic player, I only ever take over valor gyms. There's an instinct gym I can reach from my house but I'be decided to let it be

ophirwaasdorp
Nobody likes Valor (+1 from an Instinct)
rossimus
I'm about to join PG. After seeing all this back-and-forth-ing on the internet I kind of want to join Instinct on principle. Yay or nay?
xaviouswolffe
Yay!
Thrashwell
Yay! Verily.
IPoopAfterDrinkingCoffee
Yay!
rossimus
XD
PunchItChewy
I meet 2 other instincts last night. We bonded over being left out. Then went around and took over every gym. It was glorious.
lambueljackson
Read that as "boned".
JamarJamalJamalJackson
Zapados Vult!
MechAnon
HalloIamherenow
We aren't losing, we're biding our time. When Mystic and Valor let their guard down we will swoop in and rule over all.
Konguy
FOR STALIN
SleepyWalrus
I haven't chosen a team yet (lvl 10) but I gotta say, team instinct has the best slogan yet, "There is no shelter from the storm" :D
schlabbalappen
don't you gotta choose a team at lvl 5? and our better slogan is INSTINCT OR EXTINCT. almost finished my teamshirt
OneHandedClapper
Your mom likes team Valor. HOOORAH!!
NecroticWords
Only after Instinct sired you. Rrr!
SleepyWalrus
#GoTeamHermit
SleepyWalrus
you don't HAVE to, you just need to have one to do gym battles. there's no gym in a comfortable range from where I live though so...
schlabbalappen
oh okay^^ didn't know because I chose right away. sorry you don't get to play that much :/
SleepyWalrus
i mean i still play, but pokémon spawn seemingly based on population of city, so living in the outskirts of a small town, not that many xD
