I love the new customization option
I noticed that the gym across the street was guarded by a single level Pokemon of the Valor faction. I decided to take it. On my way to it, I saw three people on their phones heading towards it so I said it right there and take it before either they took it or they added reinforcements. Turns out, they were also team instinct and had the same idea. They are their own reinforcements to it after I took it.
