Pokémon Go

Why is there no thread for this hype train yet?

So... What team are you on? What have you caught so far?

Re: Pokémon Go

It does nothing for me. I don't plan on buying it do I like it heck yes it has everything I like about Pokemon with, the adventure, team-building, and competitive nature. Plus the Pokestops and claiming gyms is cool. And the new method of evolving your Pokemon is cool! But it's just not serving I see myself using. I do enjoy all the footage I have seen though!

Re: Pokémon Go

Maybe you should have mentioned those details from the beginning so you didn't come off that way, though? I mean, that's a fair enough complaint, but you mentioned none of that in your original post and just complained about people enjoying the game "when they should have been enjoying nature!!!" and how popular it is. hmm It did honestly come off as pretty "high and mighty," yes.

Re: Pokémon Go

Yeah there's definitely some legitimate gripes about it, but that's ultimately on the people who are abusing the game themselves. Its attracted a huge audience, including those lacking in social graces. Like anything else, it needs to be tapered with courtesy and common sense.

Re: Pokémon Go

I'd like to play pokemon go, but my phone is too old to run it.

in terms of people playing the game in public, I would say that unless it poses some kind of immediate barrier, it's a non-issue. If you're thinking it's a problem, you should probably get that idea out of your head, because you're ultimately only causing harm to yourself. People are enjoying themselves, and you're trying to stop that because you don't like that they're holding a small device in the process. That's a fairly selfish and ignorant way to think.

Re: Pokémon Go

I'm really enjoying this game with the time I've been able to play it. I was getting so tired of Pokemon and this was just the new spin on things I needed to get me back into it. I find it just fascinating how successful it is. Never in my life have I seen something that brings so many people out into the world to do the exact same thing. I always think it's really cool when I'm either going to a pokestop with a lure or a gym and see others gather around and realize they are doing the same thing as me. There's this kid and his mom in my town that live across the road from a pokestop and every day this week when I drive home they've had a free lemonade stand set up for people playing the game.

And for the claims that all people do when playing the game is walk around staring at their phones, just last night Stormy and I were going from stop to stop in the downtown area of the town we live in and it ended up leading us to a historic section of town I have never seen before full of the homes of all the original settlers of this region of IL. It ended up being a really interesting walk. (And I caught both a Ghastly and an Exeggcute, which I've been waiting for)

Re: Pokémon Go

I started 2 days ago ;-; I found as much as five eggs (three for 2 km and two for 10 km, hatched one of the 2km eggs and one 10km is on the way). I have a Charmander, Pidgey, Rattata, Geodude and a Weedle. I'm lv 3 and still green lol tongue

^ And I completely agree to what you said, it's fascinating how much of a success this game is, and how much it did for the issue of today's youth spending all their time in front of pc screens. I wish nothing but the best for its future. Theoretically I cannot play this app in Poland since it's not officially released there yet, but you know how that song and dance goes tongue

Re: Pokémon Go

My mom has an extreme hatred for Pokemon Go, which kinda stinks cause the game isn't bad.
