Pokémon GO Likely Coming to iOS Devices in July

So sad to read that anybody still pays attention to this brain numbingly idiotic franchise. Ugly drawings, piss-poor animation, total lack of any sort of plot, it's just a really bad cartoon supporting sales of really bad toys and video games. As South Park so brilliantly put it, "I am Chimpokomon! Buy me, buy me! And destroy the government of the United States of America"

You must be the highlight of any party you attend.

Mind you don't cut yourself on all that edge.

I remember being a teenager, thinking South Park was the bomb and hating on anything for children in case anyone mistook me for a child. But then I came to understand that the intense desire to be seen as an adult is incredibly childish, and enjoyed whatever I wanted without fear or shame.

There are better things out there than gritty military shooters, grand theft auto, energy drink and Spawn comics, there's a universe of bright, unrepentantly gleeful things you can enjoy once you stop trying to be a badass, and nobody will think any worse of you for liking them.

Oh, and if you aren't a teenager? I pity you.

you have to lighten up, this is kinda cool. Be interesting how it works in practice once released

I've never read such a brain numbingly idiotic and ignorant comment before. This is it. Congrats.

Are you really going to run around outside on the streets searching for pokemons? Really???? You got to be kidding me.

And the whole pokeman thing is not about constant fights between these creatures using energy spells?

1st off quite a LOT of people pay attention to as you quaintly put it "this brain numbingly idiotic franchise"

Some even quite well educated and intelligent dispite the brain numbing idiotic qualities you cite.

It's 1 of the bigger franchises out there.

"Ugly drawings and poor animation" are largely a matter of opinion but overall quite inaccurate. Are you basing this off FanArt? How much actual art and visuals have you seen of the franchise across ALL Platforms and media related to the franchise?


There are actually some quite good visuals and talented folks around the series and yet you seem to callously lump them all together cause some might not have suited your tastes? Wow... Based on how a lot of your gripe cites the animation and cartoon I'm assuming you've only seen chunks of the cartoon at its worst points.


The games however DO NOT always parallel the show/movies.

I'm going to defer to and agree with ArtOfWarFare on this one however even with the awesome South Park reference because of your willful ignorance and disregard to fans of something ill abstain from giving you a thumbs up

Can't wait to catch Mewtwo

Lol we could tell from your avatar/profile pic

No, it's about extracting money from several valuable demographics - children, and gaming adults who look on Pokémon with fond nostalgia - in order to benefit Nintendo Corporation.

Same as most entertainment franchises are, is that a problem?

Doesn't mean that it isn't entertaining, engaging and quite cute in places. The RPG's are as deep as you want them to be (they can be a very easy little adventure, or you can fall face first into EVs and other hidden metrics for each Pokémon and suddenly you have a game as challenging as Dark Souls and with as much number crunching as Eve Online.) They have a huge nostalgia value, and I'm very happy that Nintendo have made the decision to explore revenue streams outside of making their own hardware.

I'm not going to download it, I won't buy or engage with anything from Nintendo after the firing of Alison Rapp, but I support that they are making a wise business decision and a game many people will enjoy.

I'm not going to buy it

You won't have to, it will be free to play with in-app purchases. Through the beta I've found it relies on shop items a bit more than Ingress does, but by no means do you have to spend a single cent on the game to enjoy it.

Fair point, adjusted my above post.

That video is misleading, the gameplay looks nothing like that video.


1st Making the game look like it use hologram which increase hype [I knew it was impossible to be hologram and high quality graphics]

2nd There is a trade system shown in 1:07, not sure if that is misleading but just mentioned it incase

3rd When a players has a pokemon out in the field, if another trainers attacks the pokemon, then the trainers gets notified and battle each other

4th 1:38 and onward it shows player battle players vs mode, like tradition vs modes, yet that isn't in the real game

Here is a real gameplay of the game
