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

I'm interested in MacBook Pro rumors though.

But the fact you've posted in each Pokemon Go related thread, shows you're contradicting yourself.....

Never joined Facebook. Never joined Google. Never played Minecraft. Will never play this.

Wake me up when something interesting happens.

Great for you. You said you never joined Facebook, but it seems like most your posts on this forum are just like Facebook status updates, seems like you'd fit right in.

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.

Wow, you're a bundle of fun aren't you? Is it pathetic that it's helped people with real social anxiety issues/phobias get out and help make a difference to people's lives too? Just for example.

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.

The app doesn't lead you anywhere. It's the user that chooses where they go. Additionally, Niantic were the ones that made this, not Nintendo, and all the Pokestops/Gyms came from players of the game Ingress, via crowdsourcing.

They need to learn a little something about scaling and load balancing. Mercy.

Yea, from the outage today after the big release, wasn't the best plan. It's been bad in the UK since they released here the other day.

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

True. It's not for me either, but it's great seeing so Many enjoying this game and talking about it.

Every day that im on the tube and see people using thier iPhones with no interaction or communication is depressing, now with this game people are actually interacting , big thumbs up

Yea,'it's funny seeing the people trying to crap on people enjoying this game, when the game is getting people out, interacting with people in the real world and helping people that actually have social anxiety issues as well as phobias/issues of being outdoors.

It's sad that some people feel the need to **** on that from some pseudo high ground. I have no respect for people like that. Fair enough if it's not something you like, but to poo poo on anyone that likes and enjoys it, no respect and I feel sorry that they obviously have something missing in their own life.

Haha!!! Yea, queue up for 3 days to hand over £600 for a shiny toy is so cool, compared to getting exercise by doing daily walks and having fun whilst doing it is pathetic...
 
I am amused by the craze even though I don't think I'm going to be playing it... But good luck to those who are enjoying it.

Apple must be kicking themselves that a GPS-based augmented reality game was the one thing they didn't add to the iOS 10 messages app... :D

Coming in iOS 11... iPhonéMon?

I totally agree with you. People spend all their time with dumb ****, and they don't know why they end up being unsuccessful professionally and personally.
 



Pokémon Go launched this morning in 26 new countries across Europe, capping a blockbuster week in which the augmented reality-based title became the most popular mobile game ever and saw Nintendo shares set record trading volumes in Tokyo.

Compliments to the editorial team for moving this topic to the sidebar instead of the Front Page.

I applaud the editorial discretion.

I don't see how your post is relevant to this thread, unless you're saying that people that play games grow up to be unsuccessful professionally and personally. If that's what you mean, then you're flat out wrong and just trying to be insulting and condescending.

Look at all those people who played and play games or have other obscure hobbies that take up their time, all or even most of them are just unsuccessful losers...oh, wait, the reality is actually quite different than someone's imagination.

You think Jerry Springer or jermey Kyle audiences play Pokemon .....nah...

He does have a point. I bet many of the people playing it don't do much anyways.

I have hobbies and I play games too. But I don't spend all my time playing games, like a lot people you are seeing.

Ironically, there are people offering services that charge $20-$30/Hr for them to walk around for you catching stuff.

So happy seeing Pokemon get this huge boost. I mean it's one of the best selling series of all time, but this is just something else entirely!

If anyone is looking at going back and playing the "main" games (as they're usually called) I still think Heart Gold/Soul Silver on the DS are the best in the series. Massive map, best music in the series, loads of sidequest stuff, and one of the best post game stories (Celebi).

I like video games as much as the next guy but this is a little out of control. Could we just get a port of Legend of Zelda instead?
There is, it's on either the GBA as a Nes Classic, or as a download on the 3DS. Heads up- it's not that good any more. Give Link Between Worlds on the 3DS a go, one of the best adventure games ever made that.

I bet many people make assumptions and generalizations.

Because there's anything there to actually say that, or just someone's imagination and made up generalizations and assumptions? Seriously now.
 
I have mixed feelings watching this video, but I'm curious what those people will feel when one day they "catch them all".
