And there are probably people who couldn't be less interested in MacBook Pro rumors.
Fair enough, but do we really need an article for every country that adds support? There's literally 10 articles on the first page of the iOS blog forum relating to Pokémon Go.

I guess it's the hot story right now and it gets page clicks.

Seems like for something like that one can always ask in the site and forum feedback section and/or by contacting the site.

This Pokemon go craze is the most pathetic thing I have ever witnessed. Most of these players appear to be adults! Watch as the "haves" and "have nots" becomes more exacerbated over the coming decades. This is why we have growing income inequality.
 
I really wish they would focus on stability instead of scaling to meet the demand of even more countries.

The great thing about being an adult is that I don't have to answer to anyone on how I spend my spare time. It's pathetic to tell someone they are too old for something. If you enjoy something, do it. If you don't enjoy something, step back and let others have fun.

I've played video games my entire life and I will do it until the day I die.
 
Pokémon Go is actually a genius creation. It's ONE game powered by MILLIONS of iPhone CPUs.

I would say that it's more of a stereotype. People generally think that those that play video games don't do anything else constructive for society. It's about balance, so as long as individuals seek that balance, then the individual activities that they do should not matter.

Nintendo is going to end up getting sued. The app shouldn't lead you into private property. It shouldn't have you going into malls or stores when you have no intention of spending money there. The Pokemon(s) should be located on public property like parks or whatever. Nintendo should allow businesses and willing parties to host Pokemon (whatever the plural is) for capture. I wonder how long it will be before someone gets shot for trespassing or because someone else got the Pokemon before them. People are acting stupid just to acquire a combination of pretty pixels.
 
All they did was further the research Facebook, Twitter and all the other unsocial social media sites started and prove people are no longer capable of meaningful face to face conversation, as well as abstract thought. Welcome to Wall-E everyone.

Conversely, Kenan Thompson (as David Ortiz in SNL) offered a solution with his dating web site: "chew want to meet people? Jus go outside brah." Sans electronic screen!

World peace is at risk! Will someone think of the children!

People also have bicycles and other interesting things that they own and have on their property--does someone else become repsnsible of you are interested in those things and go on private property to look at them?
 
At this rate more people will turn up to a rare Pokemon sighting , than to apples iPhone 7 launch.

Those video of mobs are awesome .... World gone crazy

I downloaded it, tried it, got bored, then deleted it. I couldn't be less interested.

I'm interested in MacBook Pro rumors though.

I retired after a personal collection of 3 Pokemon . Though catching an ultra rare Pokemon is more likely than a sighting of a MacBook Pro update !

I wanna install the app out of curiosity, but after seeing tons of mindless ****s chasing imaginary creatures with their phone in front of their face, I'm scared I'll end up being one of them.

Like world of Warcraft lol.... Though at least with Pokemon you get excersise. Cannot wait for the South Park episode on this .

Right, generalizing and demeaning people playing a game is the higher ground there.

I love how upset people get over others having fun. This game isn't really for me, but it's nice to see people enjoying themselves over something harmless. It will pass, and the stuck up sticks in the mud can go back to crying about the computer games and the portable telly phones and those darn rapper pants

But people are doing and talking about something that isn't interesting. That's just outrageous!
 
They need to learn a little something about scaling and load balancing. Mercy.
 
Looked at submitting their form to exclude our private campgrounds.
A bunch of kids walked on and ignored the no trespassing signs.
Have to put a Pokemon ball with a red circle slash. Maybe they will understand that. Or if not I'll leave the dogs out.
 
Nintendo shares surge another 10 percent on Friday, setting a record in daily trading volume for an individual stock on the Tokyo exchange. The shares have climbed 86 percent this week, adding $17 billion in market value.

I'm not sure if am ever going to play this game, but Jesus Christ look at all the money that one can make just by this crazy fad! :eek:
