What Level Are Y'all?

Hi all! I'm a Bay Area professional by day, and...okay, also by day I am a Pokémon Trainer Level 23.

Where you at?

I've downloaded the game but since then have been at sea, ergo level 0 (is that a thing?). Honestly, this is my first Pokemon experience, but I am getting excited reading about all of the fun this game seems to be.

Level 23, that is impressive, especially given the fact that you are clearly busy during the day.

At sea! Yeah, not many pokéstops out there, I suppose. Perhaps some water pokémon? ;)

I'm obsessed, it's true -- but also lucky that I both live and work in a busy area with tons of pokéstops (there are 15 pokéstops within a .3 mile radius, and 3 gyms) AND that it's a reasonably safe area; my workplace is in a commercial center with *squint* 6 pokéstops in a .1 mile radius and 1 gym -- I literally take my workwife or one of our data engineers around the building complex, and we catch Evies all day long.

And oh, our software engineers drop lures like it's their job. :)

Holy moly, that's a target rich environment!

[I started writing a comment to explain how to make the "at sea" screen go away in the game, and then realized that you meant you are literally on a ship in the sea. When I first started playing my avatar appeared to be in the sea and it took me a while to figure out how to fix that...]

Haha yeah, I did notice the sea screen something about having to use my camera. I am home tomorrow, and looking forwarding to jumping into the game. I am sure there will be a few (??) posts here once I get going. And I am sure cool people here will be willing to help.

Is there a way to change your avatar after the initial setup? I hit "done" (or whatever it is) much too soon and I've been wishing I could customize it more.

I believe there is (currently?) no way to change your avatar. But I suggest asking at a higher level than replying to my comment, I'm a very casual player and haven't read a lot of lore or guides or anything.
