I am going to play this game…

Not available in dubai

Pokemon is awesome, I would play it every day.

I live in small town, so I’m not able to catch them all, and to be honest I don’t have time to walk around :joy:

Does anyone catch Snorlax :blush: ?

:smile: :smile:

By “everyday”, do you mean the actual games on the Nintendo console or Pokemon Go? The actual games give you a better experience as Pokemon is originally for the Nintendo consoles.

The actual games are better IMO because it is way more competitive. You have to be really strategic, you have to know math, and it’s all about prediction and countering. Which I bet Pokemon Go doesn’t have.

We were in a city down south over the weekend, and there were whole groups of people walking around playing the stupid game. Walking out in front of cars, dressing up in costume, ugh…

The pool my son works at has one that someone put at the bottom of a slide. My son has been telling people they have to go up the slide and come down it to capture the pokemon. :smiley: Luckily for them, the lifeguards at the top of the slide are straightening them out…what’s sad is how many of them are falling for the trick…

You do realize that you can’t just place a pokemon somewhere right? They are loaded in locations by the game itself, not the players.

Mostly, it’s due to the hype. If people were to do something that isn’t “trendy” or “hype”, they would look stupid. Just facts.

Example, when planking came out, people would do it to the point where they would just cause trouble and think it’s a cool thing to do. Some people would do it ontop of police cars and such and people would get in trouble. Imagine planking not being a thing and a trend. People would think that’s just pure stupid.

Guess I look stupid then because I have absolutely NO desire to do this…I see whole gangs of kids wandering around parks and streets with their phones looking for them. One person on my son’s lacrosse team said she knew someone who worked nights who kept getting woken up by people knocking on her door asking to come in and find the pokemon in or behind her house. She ended up posting a sign saying “I work nights at a hospital. Keep ringing my door bell during the day and I’ll make sure I see you there!”

Yes, that’s what I am talking about in my edit above. People do things that are illegal and stupid and then blame it on the trend. That’s kind of why I dislike Pokemon Go since if it wasn’t as hyped as it is, it would actually be fun to play.

I honestly like the actual Pokemon games on the Nintendo console more because you don’t get into trouble by trespassing private property. It’s also really competitive and there’s actual tournaments that are hosted around the world (I think mainly in the US), and people from around the world come to compete. You win actual prizes like I think real money and you also get your mascot Pokemon as an official Game Freak event. Along with the division’s title and I think a few more stuff.

No. And I have no intention to download it. I’ve seen lots of people playing with it.
Some of them were playing another game too, created by the same company.

The idea is good and I like it. It does make you walk and get out to the street. But it is not for me. I always hated Pokemon anyway :smiley:

Thank you for being honest and not a bandwagon-er.

The success of Pokemon Go is phenomenal that people are willing to do crazy things just to catch these coveted pocket monsters… I for myself have been briefly addicted to this app, but I decided to give it up since I’ve heard a lot of bad stories about people’s experience while playing this app.:unamused: One consolation though is I was able to use this idea as a way of promoting my affiliate products online through social media…:smile:

Tried it…hated it :frowning: I never liked Pokemon when i was a kid, but I wanted to give this a go. I just thought it was too easy…i mean, where’s the challenge? Walk around, find Pokemon, walk around, find Pokemon. Wow. I don’t like the fighting system either, just a lot of button mashing without any skill.

Personally, this game is below-par but let me explain why. Let say this game does not uses augment reality with GPS. Imagine all you do is walking around your character, just throwing that ball, tapping like maniac during the battle mindelessly. The game mechanic sux. What makes this game good is the ‘experience’. It’s a game where it gets people to get together and have a good time. Even though this game is below-par, it gets AAA+ in the accomplishment for successfully creating a new genre of gaming. I have a feeling by next few years, we’ll actually get a game w/ good mechanics :wink: That’s when I’ll jump in…I’ll await until then…

I’ve pretty much trailed off at level 18 because of this reason. The mechanics just aren’t there to keep me interested. Taking over gyms is a joke. I could go around and take over pretty much any gym I wanted, not because I was good, but because it was broken. Reinforcing a gym was extremely hard and you can basically destroy hours worth of work in a few minutes by yourself.

Not to mention, the actual combat was fairly boring.

I haven’t uninstalled it, I’ve just had too much going on to really care about it.

Frankly speaking, I haven’t played it, because I don’t have a free time. But my friends collect pokemons successfully.

Italian bishop says ‘diabolical’ Pokemon is like ‘Nazism’

@Gandalf Let’s no go there, please.
