I haven't played Pokemon Go, but if you can't do this, what exactly are people doing in the game? Just collecting Pokemon and doing nothing with them? Honest question -- I had implicitly assumed being able to battle with collected Pokemon was the whole point.

Right now everyone's collecting and fighting in "gyms" with the assumption that fighting each other comes later.
