| What the fuck is Pokemon Go. I keep seeing this fucking crap everywhere and I don't understand it. AR games are shit. I have a 3DS. I've played em. They're not fun. So what's the appeal with Pokemon Go? Furthermore, this thread should be in gaming and technology. |
 |
| It's nothing too special. It uses the gps function to give your avatar a map to navigate around. On the map you can find pokemon by looking through your phone's camera. You can aso battle at gym's with what you catch. But its basicall Pokemon Snap in rl, with no rl pokemon. But it passes the time if you're forced to walk and get bored. |

| Can't play it. Not available for me. Looks cool though, but I still question the ''money'' in this game. |
| nothing. |
| This is the sort of thing I have been dreaming about since I first played Pokemon 17 years ago. And now it exists, but I don't have a smart phone...funny how these things work out. |

So what's the appeal with Pokemon Go? Furthermore, this thread should be in gaming and technology. Its a real world pokemon catching game. You travel out into the real world and randomly encounter pokemon to catch while traveling. Secondly, there are gyms you compete for to be the gym leader for that gym, for your team. Gyms are based on real world locations in the world. For example my local museum is a gym. I am the gym leader. There are three teams, yellow red and blue. Each competing for these gyms. You're simply looking to catch all the pokemon, train or find stronger ones. And use them to battle gym leaders to capture gyms, or use them to defend a gym you've captured. It's not like the normal pokemon games in which its not direct pvp. However its also a bit more oriented to get you outside and moving. It's pretty fun when you play it, especially with other people. To coordinate attacks on gyms. The game it's based off of, Ingress, is still super popular and thriving after years, and it uses much of the same style. |
| It's pretty fun so far aside from the constant crashing. I went out for a walk and ran int o a few people playing as well. Met up with some friends, walked around the city and got some pokemon / conquered some gyms. It's a lot more fun obviously with friends. My buddies and I go out and drive / walk around and we run into other people as well at Pokestops and Gyms. I live in LA County SoCal though, so the population is a lot more dense over here. It makes the game a lot more lively. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| WAIT IT'S OUT OH FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!! My life is gonna be so different |
| Damn game is so buggy, I keep getting kicked out/logged out and apparent server overload. Didn't they know that this game was hyped to have a huge userbase but skimp on server capacity? |
 |
| Keep getting kicked out of the game, Server issues. Have to walk over 3 KM to get 1 pokemon. Is there some kind of tutorial or am I doing something wrong? I am supposed to walk to those ''shaky grass?'' I do but nothing fucking happens. I guess this is one way to train. #Walkedover5KMTODAY> Got 3 pidgey's and 1 kingler that's about it. 5 fucking KM... Well I am using an APK so europe is fucked. |

That is truly a top percentage rattata, all its competition simply "faiths" it ;D |
| Dude, it's so freaking cool. If you can, get it now. |
| I have 7 for now. I didn't walk that much, they literally came to me so I could catch them. My background camera doesn't work, and my brother's either. I don't know why. But anyway, I'm planning to go tomorrow for a walk and catch some more, the thing is... that I'm a bit lazy and I usually don't go outside, so let's see. So far, good. However, I would like to see a "friends" feature: so I could see my friends on my map (or not... because children play it and it could be unsafe, now that I think about it), gift them some pokémon I already have or fight against them. It's true that the game is a bit buggy and it has server issues, but I think it will be like that for now and it will be fixed in the near future. Edit: The bad thing is that it basically "eats" your battery. |

| Los Angeles based trainer here. These are my current Pokemon as of right now, started playing last night.  I haven't traveled much besides going to 7/11 and back for snacks. Lol I'm enjoying it so far, and the battery issue can be managed. I hope the trading feature between players comes out soon, since I wanna get my girlfriend into it. And yes, for those who don't know, trading was confirmed months ago, but they stated it wouldn't be at release. EDIT: I'm joining the blue team at Level 5 (I'm currently 4) Which team is everyone joining or is already a part of? For those who don't know, there's Red, Blue, and Yellow. |
 |
| Los Angeles trainer here as well~ I haven't been out of my house this entire summer but then I saw 10 stops at my college campus and it seems I'm going to sit in on classes now lol Got 35 pokes and some eggs. Pretty fun but I'm horrible at directions and keep getting lost. Also you guys should help fill this thing out wherever you are of you can |

| @Mirotokiwa If you're lucky some of your neighbors might use lure modules on stops. You can also try walking near stops even without modules. I got 3 pokemon within 5 minutes waiting at a stop compared to 1 or 2 every 15 minutes walking around aimlessly. Got these on an hour long walk walk earlier: @Zeitresu Am in Red although everyone else around me seems to be in Yellow |
|
| @Fresh_Mint Mostly Yellow? Interesting, my local area seems mostly Yellow and Red I believe, about to go wander for an hour soon, finally check things out. For some reason, I get the feeling Yellow will be the least populated team globally, not that I have a logical reason for that assumption. But that's what I believe, with Red being the most popular. |
|
| @Zeitresu The game was just released so the earlier players running around are probably just dominating all the gyms with their color. Give it a week and gyms will probably even out? |

| I got a charmander in my......bath tub?????????????? |
 |
| @Mirotokiwa Well then I'm stumped. Targeting ruffling grass seems to be the only way for you :/ |
|
Fresh_Mint said: @Mirotokiwa Well then I'm stumped. Targeting ruffling grass seems to be the only way for you :/ Yeah no... I do this you know what happens nothing they just keep doing the exact same thing. ruffling and ruffling.. Ugh I caught 6 pokemon in 80 minutes? |
| In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
| @Mirotokiwa What the.... is it safe to assume the game hates you yet? Ruffling grass gives me high CP Pokes- given I've only stepped on two but 150 and 170 seem pretty good. Try walking at a different time of day? Maybe there's someone beating you to all the Pokemon and clearing the area? If the game even works like that anyway. I'm out of ideas. |

Hopefully when I move in a month, I'll be in the same situation. xD |
|
| I won't be playing it anytime soon. I played Ingress the predecessor and it ultimately ended up like my animal crossing games where the addiction falls so hard that I don't want to ever touch the game again. I got Pokemon Shuffle and Sun & Moon later this year for my Pokemon Fix. |
ashishkaull said: Can we fight wild Pokemon or is it just Catch them all and Fight only at gyms . You can't fight wild Pokemon, just catch them. You can only fight at gyms - currently, no idea if they have plans to expand that to direct player battles or anything. |
|
| It's better than I thought it'd be, but still a shadow of what it could be - so much wasted potential. |
| (Translator's note: keikaku means plan) Just according to keikaku. |
Here's my team so far, most of them caught during my breaks at work.  Unfortunately the AR doesnt work on my phone so the app loses half its novelty, also a huge battery killer. |
Zeitresu said: You may not be having luck with Pokemon yet, but having a stop close enough to be used from your room is a luxury a lot of people wish they had. Hopefully when I move in a month, I'll be in the same situation. xD They only gave me 3 pokebals and I click on it every hour is there a time limit how much you can get? Those stops only give me something once. |

| For some reason it considers the dried-up retention pond in my backyard a lake, so all I ever get from home is water types. Not complaining though, I love water types and I need all those magikarp to evolve one of them. Gonna try to go out today and get some more variety. Wish there was a park or something around here but there really isn't, I'll probably have to go to a mall or something. |
| Ehhh, not my type of game. I'd feel like a fucking retard actually going around outside looking for a pokemon, though I assume it's every weaboos dream come true |
Here-Hear said: Ehhh, not my type of game. I'd feel like a fucking retard actually going around outside looking for a pokemon, though I assume it's every weaboos dream come true Nope. you can play pokemon go from home if you arent a retard and know how to fake your gps location |

| I've been meaning to download it since yesterday T^T |

Here-Hear said: Ehhh, not my type of game. I'd feel like a fucking retard actually going around outside looking for a pokemon, though I assume it's every weaboos dream come true Even non-weeaboo people grew up with Pokemon. There's tons of people playing the game. And its accessibility of it being a phone app, rather than say a 3DS game is what makes it even more appealing to the general population. Its been only out for 2 days and it has 1 million+ downloads on the Play Store. Probably just as much on the iOS platform. It's just a fun way to kill time while on a walk or biking or whatever else. Even if you look like a retard, you're still outside getting exercise and fresh air. |
