Its a horrible language with terrible grammar and unpredictable spelling. I resent the British for creating it.
Next week: OrangeTrumpGo will be released....& it will show how to go in circles.
You do realise that languages evolve, they're not created by anyone. Do you have an imaginary friend in the sky by any chance?

Hate or love it, it is insanely popular.
Now, games are not meant to be educative so please stop whining bout how time wasteful the game is.
Pokemon Go is fun. Now go hang yourselves or wait until they start reporting fatalities while playing

Well if you guys hadn't taken them out in the first place... lol
Funnier when Poms get all riled up over jokes about language evolving, as if it was their precious possession. Although having lost so many others, I suppose the defensiveness is to be expected.
Lighten up, guvnah.
I can't say I feel bad for those who have something bad happen to them when they are doing foolish thing like trespassing and not paying attention to your surroundings while playing.
Pokémon Go has become available in the U.K. App Store this morning as the ultra-popular game continues its much-anticipated rollout across Europe.
With the smash hit's release last week initially limited to the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand, iOS users in other countries have been left waiting for the game to show up in regional App Stores around the world. The title received its German debut yesterday and other European countries are expected to follow suit this week.
The delay has been put down to developers Niantic desperately trying to deal with the overload of its servers due to the game's massive popularity. The craze sweeping nations has reportedly caused issues for some users already playing the game, while many of those still waiting have been duped into downloading fake versions.
Shares in the Japanese company Nintendo have seen a huge jump since the release of the augmented reality hit, gaining more than 50%. Shares closed 16% higher on Thursday, making an overall increase of 56% since the release and putting Nintendo's market value at $34 billion. Pokémon Go is already the biggest mobile game in U.S. history. According to app store intelligence firm SensorTower, mobile users are now spending more time playing Pokémon Go than they are spending time in Facebook.
The global phenomenon has been blamed for several robberies of distracted mobile phone players, but the game's aim of collecting cartoon characters around various real-world locations has also had people venturing outdoors more than they usually would. Another unexpected result of Pokémon Go comes via a Reuters report today which claims it has helped U.S. police improve strained community relations and even arrest wanted suspects.
We'll update this article if Pokémon Go appears in other App Stores around the world today.

Although the last time I posted,
"There is no such thing as American English, there is English, and there is wrong"
on this forum, it erupted and had to be splintered off into it's own thread! It was only a throwaway line I got from the (Fake, obviously) Queen of England's twitter profile.
But as they say, 'That escalated quickly'
Better not post her thoughts on the 4th July, there'd be a diplomatic incident!
He never mentioned "everyone" and he got 13 upvotes, while you got 1. Now, go back chasing Pokemons.
It's not that we're worried whether it is correct or not, our only concern is that it is not YOURS anymore.
And you have 0. I'm sure the number of votes is entirely based on how many people agree with you and not with the posts position relative to the top of top of the thread. /s
Not sure how long the hype will last, but I've been playing Ingress for over 3 years. People will be playing it for a long time.
Meh. I think it's a craze that will pass in time. Just like Pokemon did the first time around.
But the games still sell in their millions. Do crazes generally last 20 years or could it be, y'know, just a thing people like? I personally can't wait for this Apple craze to die down too.
So basically, macrumors.com should buy up pokemongorumors.com and remove all mac content. I mean, for the love of Pete, you'd think the release to each new country of Pokemon were additional details on the latest tech in an Apple conference!
