Why is /pol/ so triggered by this game? Is it because it encourages millennials to go outside while you are busy shitposting on 4chan?
it's actually pretty cool desu
>>80994729
appropriation of our nerd culture
Fucking normies
wtf i hate /pol/ now
>>80994729
Its nice, me and a friend stop by a pokestop on our way to a bakery every morning while going for breakfast.
>>80994995
Pokemon was always normie culture desu. Ask any poke fag how he got into Pokemon and nine times out of ten it's "I started playing when all my friends were"
>>80995060
>Serbian Bakery
Well, I'm impressed
Why not both? Currently shitposting while at the same time becoming the very best like no one ever was
>>80994729
Because it's actually massive NSA spying program and social experiment at the same time, it might seem innocent, but I assure you this game is evil.
did any of you guys see that story about the jews getting BTFO by someone catching a Koffing (poisons gas Pokemon) inside of the Holocaust museum? sure gave me a heart kek
>>80994729
No one is trigger by this, it's just easy to make fun of how sheep-like and childish people are.
>>80994729
>encourages millennials to go outside
Yes while they're literally glued to their phone screen more so than before. I've had several people run into me because they won't look up from the god damn thing.
because it's not available here
>>80995237
>THEY KNOW WHERE I AM BECAUSE I PLAY POKEMON GO AND NOT BECAUSE I OWN A CELLPHONE IN THE FIRST PLACE THE GOV IS ONTO US GUYS WATCH OUT!!!!!!!
seriously how much of a retard can you be? even if it was being used maliciously what do you have to hide
>>80994729
I like Pokemon Go
I started out with pikachu and so far have caught weedle, rattata, ghastly, spearow, and zubat
Pokemon and other forms of anime at seriously the lamest things in the world.
Turns guys into complete manchildren.
>i need an electronic social web 2.0 app to make me go outside
kill yourself
R8 my pogeman squad. Its fun to play when your in a car and not driving.
>>80994729
I don't mind the fact people are going outside more despite it being mobile phone cancer what I do mind is basically this >>80994995 they've lumped it in with the faux nerd trend just because it's the cool thing to do at the moment. I can't wait for this ridiculous fad to end.
I wish psuedo nerd culture had never blown up it did, fuck TBBT and MCU.
>>80994729
Hey, if the people of today were not all self centered, rainbow haired, tranny appropriating fucks who will make you feel like an outcast for not playing this fucking game.. then yeah play it
>>80994729
Watching all these fat fucks wandering around like zombies collecting virtual doo dads is actually pretty funny.
It looks like a great way to pick up women.
pfffft AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA
>>80995461
k grandpa
>>80994729
You can shitpost on mobile too you know.
>>80995563
>It's not about hiding, it's about having principles and adhering to them.
It's not so much about tracking as running it as social experiment to see how to control population movement and their activities. What they want is people with short attention spans, easily controlled, emotional and social, as social people will be less likely to break the indoctrination set up.
>>80994729
/pol/ hates fun
wtf I hate pokemon now1!1!!
I deleted it yesterday, and now it redownloaded and it's stuck on "waiting". It's impossible to delete.
Don't download it guys, it's impossible to get it off once you have it.
>>80995848
Damn how'd you get all those and at such high levels?
I've been playing since it came out last Thursday and my Pokedex is still weak af
>>80996282
the /vg/ thread has niggas with 2k cp pokemons
fuckers are min maxing a free2play drive2win game
People are playing Pokémon for the first time in their life and act like they're "le nerd Pokémon gamer OMG I love Pokémon so much XD". Just like normies sharing Zelda/Mario articles and shit on Kikebook and yet have never played them except maybe 15 mins on their Wii.
>>80994729
>play Omega Red on my 3DS
"Fucking virgin neckbeard loser"
>play inferior Pokemon Go with no strategy and no gameplay
"omfg my pussy is wet lets go catch Pokemons together."
>>80996606
I've literally seen no one act like that
I hang out with a bunch of normies and we all have Pokemon Go
>>80996711
If you're over 14 years old and own a Nintendo DS you're doomed to a life of involuntary celibacy
I don't care much about it, but I hate it how 10 years ago I'd get called a virgin or a loser because I like pokemon and other nerd shit and now every other idiot is suddenly a big fan of videogames and capeshit and other nerd stuff.
I hate most trendy shit, especially on facebook.
>>80994995
Pokemon was always a normie game though
>>80995994
I'm a grandpa because I don't maneuver the streets through a GPS and camera instead of my eyes?
Okay sure.
>>80995461
I literally just saw this happeon on BBC news. Some fat blonde ogre walking around with these nerds turned a corner on a busy high street with her eyes glued to the phone and a normal man had to dodge out of her way, yet she didn't even look up from her phone.
And then back in the studio they had some milennial with bad facial hair and ear stretchers with a god awful grin explaining the concept. Had to turn it off.
In theory this game sounds good but it is attracting the biggest cunts on the planet.
>>80994995
literally everyone likes the GB/NDS pokemon games and will play them with you.
its nintendos premier money printer.
I tried playing it but it kept crashing on me and all I can do is find low level shit Pokemon so I quit
>>80997124
To be honest everyone I see out at these lure deviced pokestops are fat, beta nerds.
>>80994729
it's for casuals
>>80997585

>>80995848

>>80994729
Unstable and needs too much attention. Ingress is way better.
>>80994729
Basically it's like this
>If you enjoy human contact and Pokemon, Pokemon go is for you!
or
>if you like being a 600 lb hermit fapping to your waifu all day with literally zero chance of having any human contact EVER, you may want to go get the DS games.
simple
>>80997827
that's because it's a middle school Steve
>>80996282
the cp levels correlate to what level your profile is. Once you get over level 10 all the pokemon you see will have pretty high cp.
>>80997905

>High level
Holy shit git gud townie. In my city you won't even register unless you have a four digit cp
>>80994729
What are you talking about? I go for a 3 hour walk everyday to play
Because it was made by the CIA to get normies to use their Camera in their houses
>>80994729
/pol/ is triggered that Pokemon Go could kill degenerate apps like Tinder
>>80995461
>>80997332
The best part is you don't even have to look at your phone that often. Fucking normies don't even know how to play properly
>>80998243
>not emulating the gamebrick titles on your phone
why grind like a Korean when you can play at your leisure?
>>80994729
>Is it because it encourages millennials to go outside while you are busy shitposting on 4chan?
Yeah, that and "white" to /pol/ means pasty and chalky, so if you get any sun at all ever in your life, you're a shitskin and need to gtfo.
>>80998437
good thing i always play pokemon go in the house when my dick is out
spy on these nuts NSA
>>80998496

Already is friendo.
even the donald likes it
What are you talking about? I'm playing it every day when I walk outside.
>>80998704
This
Am I millennial if I'm born 1992 right?
I bet 90% of /pol/ are millennials. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
>>80998437
Who the fuck plays Pokemon go in their houses?
>>80995280
this is the only good thing that came from it.
>>80994729
It's a massive botnet and distraction method. Even people here are throwing themselves towards the trend despite not knowing anything about Pokemon beyond "Pikachu haha xD I'm so nerdy!!!"
>>80998305
O ok
I really want to go walk around and catch Pokemon now which is really different for me because up until now o never wanted to leave the house
>>80994729
Why I am triggered by this game Part 1: Who is behind its development
Pokemon GO is developed by Niantic, which first produced a similar game called produced Ingriss.
Niantic was founded by John Hanke who is the former CEO of Keyhole Inc, a Software development company that specializes in geospatial data visualization. Keyhole also produced Earth Viewer which eventually became Google Earth. Niantic Labs started off as an internal startup of Google before being let loose as an independent entity in 2015. This was part of Google’s restructuring as Alphabet inc.
Niantics Founder and the man who is in charge of Niantics is named John Hanke. John was the CEO of Keyhole, inc. The name keyhole is a reference to the Keyhole line of spy satellites the CIA used during the cold war.
Keyhole gets even more interesting. Not only did they develop what would become Google maps and google earth, but they also got the majority of their initial funding from In-Q-Tel. formerly Peleus.
In-Q-It, is an American not-for-profit venture capital firm based in Arlington, Virginia. It invests in high-tech companies for the sole purpose of keeping the Central Intelligence Agency, and other intelligence agencies, equipped with the latest in information technology in support of United States intelligence capability
IQT has funded and has ties to many interesting companies including Stratify, Which organizes mass data, Mohomine, Which organizes mass data, Palantir Technologies, which does data integration, Spotfire, which visualizes data analytics, Fetch Technologies, Which manages internet data, Initiate Systems, which has multiple real-time multiple database software, Geosemble, Unstructured data analytic and many more companies. IQT also gave Facebook the majority of their startup money.
>>80999048
Well you're no fun...
>>80998437
> Only AUS posters believe this meme
It has already been disproved time and time again.
On top of being debunked, they have much better means of collecting data.
> They want pictures of my house
Majority of houses in the same areas are built the same way, there is not much difference between them on the inside.
> They don't know the layout of my house shill, floor plans from building companies is a lie
Okay, even if this was true, why?
Just answer that, why the fuck would they want to know what is inside your house?
> They wanna know where my guns are
That would mean you plan on "hiding" your firearms instead of fighting for the right to keep them.
> They want to scan my house
Most people are catching pokemon outside, on top of that you don't even need to be on top of the Pokemon. You can catch them from a street over and you never need to use the camera.
Also phones don't have some Sonar capability that will scan your entire house.
> Hurr government is involved, the guy worked with Geo-spatial data company
Which is why he was the one who came up with the idea and made it work. He has been messing with Map data for his entire life.
> It has access to everything on my phone
They already had that, before pokemon go. On top of that it was a glitch that only happened on iOS phones. If it wasn't a glitch we would have seen it on Android as well.
Any other silly conspiracy shit about a Children's game? If not just skip to the part where I'm a shill.
>>80998243
>human contact
>"there's a pollywhirl over there"
Yes it fulfills your daily human contact quota for the day but that doesn't mean anything. Human connections and relationships mean something.
It's like you don't even know what a mechanism is. People who live this way are mechanisms. Nothing more.
>>80998894
Millennials are 1980-2000, you're probably confusing actual Millennials with post-underage teenager Millennials who are glued to their phones all the time.
>>80999095
Do you remember when we had to connect our devices via wires?
You had to be inches away from another living being to do pokemons back in the day
Whats your rarest Pokemon, /pol/ ?
>>80994729
>>80999248
Why I am triggered by this game Part 2: what is its real purpose?
So how does Pokemon GO tie into In-Q-Tel and Data-mining? Pokemon GO utilizes taking geotagged video and pictures. This data while used for gameplay, can and is relayed to Niantic. Remember this company was funded by the CIA, and created from a company that specializes in mass-data collection software. Do you really think this is a coincidence?

Only at gyms, or at least right now. I think eventually they'll allow you to battle anyone anywhere.
Becuase it was made by the CIA
>>80999806
/pol/ is so stuck in conspiracy mode.
Pokemon GO is simply a distraction from the real problems of the world. It's nothing more than that, they have no reason to downgrade their means of collecting intelligence.
>>80998338
I live in a small town that's 95% white enjoy your black and brown filled city
>>80994729
It's serving as another distraction from real-world matters.
It's a major trojan horse into one's life, developed by an offshoot of Google, led by a man who received funding from the CIA in the past to develop Google Earth.

>>80994729
I can't wait for some spastic weeb to show up on my property to catch some nip fake pet.
Fucking weaboos are the worst
>>81000888
Probably "special" as in special conditions or event only.
>>80994729
Because they'll start blaming 4chan for all the pedos and rapists that crawl out of this.
>>80999579
This list is not true since the pokemon are region specific
For example, florida has an ABUNDANCE of staryu and exeggute whereas california seems to have an abundance of Geodude and Rhyhorn
>>80994729
its not really a game, as much as its an excuse to use your phone while still talking to people. It shows how millennials will not talk to each other without technology in between them.
Add in the semi-creepy 'mass hypnosis' where the game can get hundreds to show up to a spot at 3am in 30 minutes, video capture for alphabet agencies, and the massive amount of normal fag posting about it and it should be obvious why anyone with half a brain wouldn't like it or out right reject it.
>>81001230
Really? that's pretty neat.
>>80995196
that's actually a great idea

It's because every fucking day, I nearly run over a group of these Dorkemon folks who congregate by the river who walk through intersections while only looking at their fucking phones. If these people didn't look like the walking dead who have no idea what's actually happening around them, it'd be fine, but for fuck's sake, at least look where you're going!
>>80998894
This is just my personal opinion, but the people actually usually worth throwing the term around for must be at least born around 1990 or later. I realize that's not the definition per se.

Some guy at the park had his tied to an RC Car. It was pretty hilarious 2bh.
>>80994729
Because I was on my usual night walk with my dog and the streets in my little german town were flooded with 16-20 year olds all starring at their phones walking around like zombies. They were looking for virtual animals on their phones instead of just petting one of the fucking dogs in the park. It doesn't make them social at all. They just stood there in groups, noone talking to each other, not even aware of their surrounding. I wish they would put the pokemon in the middle of forests in big gps holes

>nerd culture
Someone wasn't target demographic age for gen 1...
It's only after Yu-Gi-Oh came out that pokemon became gay in the mind's eye of gen 1 kids and everyone dropped it. Pokemon was a national phenomena before then, to the point that PoGo's big blip in sales look miniscule.
I haven't seen schools banning mechandise, evangelicals blaming the devil on it's popularity, or the pope giving a speech on how it's good for creativity yet, so PoGo is far less normie than mainline pokemon ever was.

>Why is /pol/ so triggered by this game? Is it because millennials
Millennials are in their early 20's now but they act like 12 year olds with no responsibility and no self awareness as they see nothing wrong with playing a child's game on a phone. Millennials should be asking themselves how it could be that they have so much idle time in their day and why they are still such immature and unformed adults.
>>80994729
This is a legitimately terrible game. only thing that's triggering me

>>80997974
If you were 5 or so years older, you'd see how normie it was.
You were 3-5 when pokemania peaked in the late-late 90s and first couple years of the 00s decade.
In those days, if you were 8-13 or so, you remember carrying one of these bad boys around on your bike going to other kid's neighbourhoods with 3 versions of the games, 2 decks of cards, a stack of half dead batteries and 3 types of link cables for trades. Bascially, you had to have friends in order to git gud.
You'd remember pokemon league being in normie stores like books-a-million rather than autismo-houses like "Uncle Buck's boipucci and comics emporium".
At it's peak, it was a very social game...
You're autistic because you got into a series that worked off of social features 10 years after the franchise peaked and became unpopular.
The way you play pokemon today is the way normalfags grinded in order to be competent against human players back then. It's like you're a crippled darth vader who never got to do all the gay prequel movie backflips and be a nimble shit as anakin skywalker.
>>80994729
Pokemon go is obviously a giant shekel grabbing scheme. Why else would it be constantly shilled on news media, kikebook, and even 4chan. It's being promoted by everyone /pol/ doesn't trust.
Also
>He buys apps on his phone
Fucking goy
>>80998437
most people turn the camera off in order to catch the pokemon easier.
Additionally, pokemon spawns work like XM spawns in ingress, so you end up catching more if you go outside and dick off near pokestops/gyms.
No doubt that the damn thing spies on you, but come the fuck on: having a smart phone in general spies on you. I mean, you're basically carrying a gps tracking device with a microphone on it that's running an operating system made by the chief purveyor of the "internet of things" concept.
You've been bugged since the day you bought your phone...be damned whether you play some damn game on it or not.
Also, you're australian. who cares if the CIA watches you? You've got bigger issues, like your government banning small tiddy porn and guns.
>>80998894
year isn't technically relevant. It's based on generational cohort.
Millenials are the children of Gen-X. Gen-X is the Boomer's children.
If your parents are boomers, you're not a millenial. If your grandparents are boomers, then you are.
>>80995196
>not simulating GPS signals
fucking casual....
I'm honestly done...
Why they didn't release the full game and instead released one of their beta builds is beyond me.
The progression system is heavily fucked and new players will never be of worth and battles are just so boring not to mention it needs to be on 24/7 to identify pokemon or COUNT FUCKING STEPS.
This game is just so terrible I need to say it twice
Its the Boomers that are having a cry about it - after all if all of us Y and Z gen's are out in the real world - who else is going to work 80 hour weeks to pay for their retirement and tax payer funded coffee's?
>>81012147
It's free..granted it contains optional micro-transactions the app is free leaf boy.
>>80996606
Yeah, I'd say there are a few groups.
There are the people who have been playing the series consistently since they picked it up which is the smallest and probably most hardcore group.
There are those like me who picked it up when it first came out but lost interest when they started getting boners looking at tits.
Then there are the people who never really played the games, and maybe saw a pikachu car or something once and are now "i am le pokemon master."
>>81015225
It's infeasible to level up at a fun pace without either farming pokeballs (i.e. walking circuits between pokestops for hours) or buying them.

It's to the point that millenial girls who made fun of you for playing zelda and morrowind back in the day are now glued to their consoles dumping hours into witcher and fallout.
Kinda makes me rage, but in the end, it's a good way to segue into introducing good classics to people.

>who picked it up when it first came out but lost interest when they started getting boners looking at tits.
Yeah anon. I bought into the Red/Blue hype until I finally realized they're JRPG's made for toddlers.
Seeing grown adults doing the same shit they've been doing 16 years ago.

It makes me angry too bro - along with all those old people on their ipads playing games after they spent years pissing on young males for doing the same.

because it's not a real fucking game
might as well be playing balloon popper or clapping party while walking around
Holy shit this game is terrible. The bandwagon is 10x worse than the undertale bandwagon from last year.

I actually start to believe it, seeing how hard it is being shilled. Every newspaper is giving them free advertising, every board on 4chan seems to have threads up talking about it...
What is even weirder is how strangely defensive everybody seems to get over it: You dare to criticize the game people start calling you an autist, loser, fat, etc. They will tell you these fabulous stories about how they met so many girls and lost so much weight playing Pokemon, like how every one of your problems could vanish if you just play this game a little. People are so dismissive even here about people not playing a stupid mobile game and openly ridiculing everybody not on board that somebody seems to want you to install this game really, really bad. I feel like there is something more than just the usually hype hivemind pushing this.

2 retards walked off a cliff and died playing pokemon go
natural selection at work, i'd say pokemon go is the best thing to happen to society. hopefully more retards kill themselves of their own stupidity.
31 people just died from a careless driver playing this game.

Pokemon Go is pretty fun and novel but it gets a bit dull, I'll just stick to the proper games
Normies will stop playing within a few weeks anyway

Actually, not counting my starter Bulbasaur I caught a Charmander at my local park.
>>81027489
I just hate the "gunwunner" pandering.
>>80994729
I think it's brilliant. I'm just tired of hearing about it since I don't have any interest in playing it. Donald's facebook post today was perfect though. Too bad it will be overshadowed by another Muslim terrorist attack.
>Pokemon GO is for information gathering
>Ingress isn't
>>81016329
Honestly this is true. It's quite startling how rapidly people's opinions change in the face of social pressure.
There's also the whole twitch/streamer culture which is a fucking embarrassment, especially with how easily women "gamers" can get money for doing literally fuck all. Easiest job in the world.
Still, things will eventually change and they'll give up gaming for something else. Right now being a "gamer" is petty virtue signalling for normie points.

It's obvious they're planning to expand to the other generations since many of the Pokemon have moves with types not in Gen 1.

I've been seeing a wave of newsvertisements for Pokemon Go that is unrivalled since, well, Facebook Live's snuff video PR campaign, including inducing players to jump a fence to find a dead body,[4] and it's left me thinking about how useful this app may or may not be to spy agencies, police, or even ordinary private dicks.
Who is in charge of placing the Pokemon monsters or other targets? Is there a straightforward way for a third party to set up an attractive feature on some property they want inspected?
How do players find the targets they are looking for? Is there a general 'directory' that leads them to the land they are supposed to reconnoiter?
Is the game known to upload the video the phone is taking in order to put the cartoon figure on the screen, or is that done locally?
Does the game have a way of collecting data about things in the area, e.g. other cell-phones, Wi-Fi identifying numbers, etc.?
If a player trespasses in order to happen across evidence, is there any possible legal argument that he is a "police agent" if it could be shown that police put the target on his map, or does his personal decision to trespass to play the game put an end to any attempt to claim a warrantless search?
I've read about players being lured to police stations to hunt Pokemon, with cops complaining about it; is there any way to lure a particular player to a police station without luring all of them, say if that particular one had outstanding warrants?
Are players being lured near crack houses and other highly hazardous features that someone might want to have periodic video surveillance of? I didn't see this one but it seems like an understandable "accident" to have happen.

Update: there's a discussion of this here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/4s0d4i/is_pokemon_go_uploading_data/ ) and better here (https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/4rqumk/pokemon_go_could_be_a_photobased_intelligence/ ) ; some users are skeptical that there is video uploading going on based on the reported bandwidth. However, apparently the app actually has the user take a picture, which is a more limited amount of data. The privacy policy is here ( https://www.nianticlabs.com/privacy/pokemongo/en )and doesn't specifically say video is uploaded; it's wording is pretty much the longwinded way of saying "absolutely none" used in any privacy policy online. One user said that "Pokemon GO is owned by Niantic, Inc, which was formed by Keyhole, Inc, which was funded by the CIA's venture capital arm In-Q-Tel". Checking this out, the second part is true (see Keyhole, Inc); the first part omits that Keyhole was first acquired by Google, putting its cofounder in charge of Google Maps (gee, never would have guessed...) before eventually the department was spun off as Niantic. [5] ( http://www.businessinsider.com/pokemon-go-google-niantic-ingress-2016-7 ) I don't know how much this really means though, since I don't actually know nowadays that it is possible in a capitalist economy for a company to be created without the CIA effectively in charge of it. Also, none of this really answers the practical questions, just reinforces the underlying suspicion.

/pol/ believes this is a CIA conspiracy to record everything and everyone
I think the conspiracy is towards the game itself.
The moment people started going outside, enjoying themselves, socializing, the media immediately tried to spin it, and ramp up the fearmongering, with threats of pedophilia, muggings, and death
Very curious.
