Wednesday's launch of Pokemon GO in the United States has seen the title shoot up to become the No. 1 free app in Apple Inc's U.S. iTunes store. It was also launched in Australia and New Zealand this week and is expected to be rolled out in Japan soon.
Many reviewers said they were keen on the game although they hoped that technical glitches would soon be resolved. Shares in Nintendo jumped 10 percent to their highest level in more than two months with the stock the most heavily traded by value on Tokyo's main board and giving the firm a market value of about $23 billion.
"The company has huge intangible assets like characters but it hasn't been trying to use them seriously. But the success of its Pokemon GO shows the company has got great content," said a fund manager at a UK asset management firm in Tokyo.

Are we finally witnessing the end of dedicated gaming handhelds?
Goodbye quality video games
>#1 free game
wow they lost money and got nothing in return but virtual memebucks
>>344302360
Cash shop, you inbred manchild
Way more profitable than handheld games
Casuals ruin everything.
Don't worry, they're still doomed.
>>344302676
nobody needs the cash shop in that game.
>>344302751
The game is great, you friendless smelly virgin
Gym battles are actually a challenge for the first time ever, Pokemon is actually hard
>tfw servers crashed again
It's kind of insane how garbage this game is. They made a pokemon game in the most half assed way possible, which is saying something.
>>344303053
It's #1 top grossing in the app store. Mind you this is a game where the severs go down every 20 minutes.
>>344303053
But its there, which means autists like the guy who took all the gyms near me can spend 60 bucks to make his pokemon unstoppable fuck machines
>>344303160
You literally tap the screen as fast as you can in gym battles
>>344303160
Except the game is terrible, gym battles are easy as shit and have no depth fuck for brains.
>>344298949
Well they need to put more behind fixing their damn map locations and stop riding ingress dick.
>inb4 where is da map anon
>>344302298
Everyone mind you the game build is 0.29 it's not even 1.0 yet. I guess there will be major changes until then. No idea why they released it in the current state though
I have captured around 26 magmars and they are not stopping plz someone send help
So it doesnt matter in what order you power up or evolve right
>Game is released with constantly crashing servers, barebones features, unreliable tracking, and not even simple necessities like push notifications or working while you're not actively looking at the game.
>#1 grossing game instantly due to the name.
That's it. Video games are over.
>>344303478
Do you perhaps live on a volcano?
>>344303160
>Gym battles are actually a challenge for the first time ever, Pokemon is actually hard
>>344303478
Do you live in the 7th layer of hell?
>>344298949
It's the power of an ip brand simple as that. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 2 decades, or have just been born, there is no way in hell you have never heard of pokemon.
Pokemon is one of the major reasons why people buy nintendo's handhelds, so it's no surprise a pokemon game on mobile will be a hit. Pokemon was always a "mobile" "where ever you go" kind of game.
>>344301161
Pokemon was always a great competitive strategy game smothered under shitty RPG probability bullshit
I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING PLAY
>/v/ will defend a p2w casual mobile app and play religiously
>>344303254
Wrong, you manchildren scum
You can literally dodge attacks on reaction, change mid attack, use charge for extra moves, save meter through switch, pokemon types still apply, etc
Takes more strategy and skill than the copy paste smogon shit
Kill yourselves filthy scum
>>344303478
To bad they haven't added it's evolved form to the game yet
>>344303747
You should have listened
It kinda sucks since all the other ones I've caught are far weaker than any one member my magmar army
>>344298949
So when someone will die because of it?
>>344303478
lol'd at magnum opus
>>344303580
Its true though.
Gym battles on the handhelds are a joke.
In GO you might need a full of team of actual people to take down a gym
So it turns out we were right when we said Nintendo should make games for smartphones and abandon its own shit hardware.
Gee, it's almost as if we cared about Nintendo and good games and didn't hate the company like some people accused us.
>>344303882
I'm gonna die
>>344303948
No you don't. You can pretty much take over any gym just by spamming even if your pokemon is only half their level.
>>344298949
Why does this thread's subject sounds like clickbait article?
>>344303808
Absolutely anything with Pokemon is popular
I agree that mobile is cancer but Go wont kill video games, it's just Pokemon
Watch Sun and Moon sell even more than ORAS and XY
>>344303747
predictable after mods gave away the board to Activision. Let's face it, we are just an extension of battlenet now, with all the underaged normie cancer it includes.
>>344303979
It's a fucking mobile app, far from a good game, nintendo lover
>>344303747
>p2w
Wrong, the game is drive2win and you need real friends to own gyms, so of course the neet virgins of /v/ hate the game
>casual
Not if you want gyms at all, competitio. Is mad fierce
Yeah, thank you fags for actually downloading this shit.
>>344303979

>>344303462

they announced they wanted to add gens as time goes, as well as fucking cancerous sun/moon crossplay or something.
>>344303979
>Pokemon GO, Shuffle, Miitomo
>Good games
It's pretty clear all of these are quick cash grabs and not actually made to be quality games. Especially GO releasing in beta form.
>>344304034
>spamming it
You better have a mountain of potions and revives then. Because you dont earn the gym for just beating them once.
>>344303478
Where are you that you can catch Magmars?
All I get are generic beginner game Pokemon. The only two mildly interesting Pokemon are a Drowzee and a Fearow.
>>344298949
>DUDE WHAT IF WE PUT FUCKING EVERYTHING DOWN TO THE FUCKING SETTINGS SERVERSIDE, THAT WAY NOT A SINGLE FEATURE EVER WORKS.
I wanna like this fun little exercise app, but it just doesn't fucking work.
>>344304092
>>344304132
>>344304198
It's a gimmick money maker like the Wii stuff was.
It's what enables them to survive and make other masterpieces, which do not sell as much and can't sustain the company by themselves.
Maybe when Pokemon Go dies, we can all migrate to Ingress, the better GPS-based game.
>>344303442
Africa gets a gym before europe.
Nintendo always wins baby!
>>344304224
You do if the gym level is low enough, which it usually is. Also it's easy as fuck to get potions unless you live in bumfuck nowhere and don't have easy access to refreshing pokestops.
>>344304358
>/v/ hates the game where you have to physically explore the world to succeed
Who would've thought?
>>344298949
Fuck yeah. Called this shit from 50 miles away.
So glad I bought a bunch of shares.
>>344304298
Nicest part of the shittiest state of West Virginia, there have been like 7 house fires in the last 10 years so maybe that's why...
>>344304494
>low enough
Its day 3 already. All the gyms in my area have 16k prestige with a full 6 poke party, with crown leader pokemon of at least 700 CP.
We literally need to organize an IRL raid party to take gyms now.
>>344303442
That map is bullshit. I live in Chihuahua and there are 3 gyms near my house and another 4 in the city park.
>>344304368
We should just do that now, since the servers don't work for GO but are just fine for Ingress.Viva la Resistance
>>344304368
>ingress
>better game
>>344304358
The 3DS is still the best selling gaming platform this gen, and that shit's nothing but hardcore gameplay all the way.
>/v/ is actually playing this fucking shit
Remember, this is the grave that you guys chose.
What you faggots dont understand is that pokemon games arent exactly all about gameplay.
The idea of owning or even witnessing pokemon IRL is another great factor. Petting them and seeing them in 3D are other examples of this.
>>344304716
>being a Smurf
Kek, frogs all the way. I bet you also support #BlackLivesMatter as well?
>>344304746
I will never stop shilling for this game until Pokemon Go is dead. My biggest hope is that Niantic profits from this game but the game dies out after a while, leading people to migrate to the better game Ingress. Does Pokémon Go allow you to link Pokestops and Gyms? No, but with Ingress, you get to link portals (the Ingress equivalent) and create fields which cover turf and paint the town with your factions colour. Pokémon Go may be popular because it is based on an established product, but Ingress will prevail in being the polished, more technical GPS game over this cash-in gimmicky garbage.
Now if only it would work on my phone. Nope. Genwunner trash.
>>344298949
pc when?
>>344304023
How do you sort your pokemon by level?
>>344304614
We hate it because it doesn't fucking work. In more ways than one.
>>344304762
Eh, the iOS market isn't competing with actual video games. Just see it as something to keep you preoccupied when you're walking/cycling.
Movie-games, on the other hand, that is the grave you fuckers chose.
>>344304685
Because it's a fucking work in progress. Did you even go to the other thread. Your supposed to fill out the locations in your area yourself since there is no offical map yet.

Or just live/work on top of multiple pokestops and abuse the gps recalibration to earn pokemon without ever leaving your house/office.
>you need real friends to own gyms, so of course the neet virgins of /v/ hate the game
Not really. My faggot friend already has absurd Pokemon because there are like 3 Pokestops and two gyms in the building he works in and so he already controls 7 gyms with level 850 Pokemon that he got just by farming all day yesterday. Guarantee he'll just do it again all day today too. Meanwhile I walked 6 miles yesterday and got basically jack shit. You don't need friends or be outgoing if you get lucky like that.
>>344304906
Press the circle where I have it set to A-Z, there is an option to have it set to combat power or CP
>>344305016
Lol, it will die even before then when people realize it is a gimmick, even before their favourite later gen Pokémon is released. Do you remember anything about Twitch Plays Pokémon after they finished Red?

>>344304681
Or just get one or two people to attack the gyms since the battle system heavily favors attackers. Gym battles aren't challenging at all. Assuming you can even finish a battle since the game loves to fuck you over and stall when the gym's pokemon has only 1hp left.
>>344303478
You again. That's so bizarre, dude. I wish I could get one fucking Magmar. The only fire type I've found is Ponyta.

Lol, niiiiice. Make sure to add in more false ad homenims and strawmen in order to support your argument. I can truly see the effort in you making these claims. And just for the record, Ingress isn't a #literallywho game because, face it, you wouldn't have Pokémon Go which is a repainted Ingress with gimmicks without the OG Ingress. Respect your elders.

>>344304986
Caught a Gastly on my way into a Microcenter, and then I found a Wartortle when I was walking through my neighborhood. He had a red circle but I decided to give it a shot anyways, first pokeball got it.

I don't even feel bad for any dipshit who spends money on this. I live in the middle of nowhere and I can replenish my good at pokestops easily.
>>344307146
It should be on /vp/, honestly. I like 'playing' and discussing pokemon go but it's really barely a video game, especially at this point.
I live in like the middle of no where and can't get shit for Pokemon.
You gotta admit this is one of the best moves by Nintendo ever. They capitalized on Pokemon in a way that could do constant cash flow since in app purches. I haven't got to do battles yet but find Pokemon is actually pretty fun. My friends told me about the different places to get Pokemon and the pissiblities they can do with cross play with other Pokemon games and adding more gens, they could just keep adding to it and just keep making bank.
>>344307148
Honestly the stuff you can buy simply helps Pokemon maybe come closer. You can't buy potions or revives or anything actually helpful
>>344303640
This is fact.

You cant even do that though.
>>344307640
You copied my character
>>344307584
There's just very little content at this point. It's fun and I enjoy it, but a game that requires me to go out and walk around is only like half a video game. I dunno, I'm probably just shitting semantics.

>no guys seriously i only eat shit on my way home from work
if your gonna use that excuse why aren't you playing Monhun or Tetris on the way home you troglodyke
>>344307148
Pay for what?
Pokeballs that you get for free by leveling up or by passing areas of interest?
Incense to attract pokemon to your location? Hiw about you could get off your fat ass and walk around. That's free.
You are a twit if you think any form of microtransactions automatically make it p2w...
>>344307759
Your image proves nothing.
A guy at a dense area gets 200 times the items and advantage than a guy shelling out top dollar.
But of course an inbred retard on /v/ that knows nothing about the game would parrot dumb shit.
>>344307775
Yeah man super diverse character choices amirite?
>>344307863
I am. But I can't do it while I'm walking.
>Have to walk around town and shit to actually play.
Neat concept, but... I am not down for that shit. I'm too introverted for that. Cool for you guys though, sounds neat.
>>344307886
Yes, getting any kind of numerical advantage by spending money makes it p2w by definition. Pay to not grind is also a form of pay to win.
>>344303210
You cant pay to upgrade your pokemon, you fucking autist
How long until they rip it off?
>>344308042
Not like you actually have to talk to people. Get off your lazy fat ass
>>344308042
you mean you don't want to walk out to a sign by the highway with your phone in your face?
>>344308042
That's the great thing about this game. It actually gets fat nerds out into the open world where they walk some miles and even meet other pokemon trainers to socialize a bit.
Heard a ton of stories already of people meeting others playing this, it's huge.
>>344308042
I'm introverted and spend a minimum of 3 hours outside every day. Nobody but you in the forest, saw a snek today.

Good try though.
>>344307978
A guy in a dense area who shells out top dollar gets 200 times the items and and advantage than someone who doesn't shell out.
That image proves you wrong. The only inbread retard here is you for defending a blatant moble cash shop game and parroting the same false arguments denying p2w games.
>>344308080
>pay for incense, lure modules and lucky eggs

But anon, even on a dead console it still outsold street fighter v on ps4
Source: check vgchartz for both games
>>344308078
No. P2W would be paying for a pokemon with increased stats.
What does 200 extra pokeballs do when they hand them out like candy as is, and the capture rate is ridiculously high. What advantage do you have spending the money for 200 pokeballs, while I sit here woth 50?
You literally just throw money at them for no reason other than you can.

>>344304771
This, I think people play pokemon so they can keep clinging to the dream of one day owning a real or atleast robot pokemontofuck
>>344308435
No, he doesnt get 200 times the advantage. Both him and the other guy get all the items by a truckload so theyre both on the same page.

Except not really >>344305067
>>344307886
It's also less effective than walking around with incense. You don't even have to walk around if you know what you're doing, see >>344305067
>>344307752
It failed cause of the Tablet. The only reason I didn't immediately get it is because of that stupid piece of expensive plastic.
>>344308727
Yes really.
I know a good number of people who are out and roaming. One example saying otherwise doesn't mean shit.
Even know someone who hiked onto a mountain for this game

I'd settle for one to talk to, really. Humans got too boring years ago.
>>344308581
Look here little autist.
I know its hard for you to follow, but cash means jackshit in this game.
The only true advantage is living in a dense area.
You can give them 1000 bucks, but if you live in a shitty area you wont get jacksquat.
And you get more items than you can humanly use. Theres no benefit from the cash shop.
Were you able to follow that, little 2 digit IQ retard? Hopefully you did.
Not counting on it though.

It'd help if they actually fixed their shitty fucking servers.

>Both him and the other guy get all the items by a truckload so theyre both on the same page.
Except the guy paying for boosters gets more pokemon drops, aka more candy and stardust to boost his pokemon and take over gyms easier you massive fuckhead

Server isn't down. its a bug make a throwaway account login on it then log out and back to your main you can now play again

>>344309272
Is there even a way to change your character's appearance?
>>344308716
you can pay for an advantage while playing, that's pay 2 win, not pay 2 win means things you buy in the shop are cosmetic and stuff like that
>>344309003
do you live in miami? I saw the same shit
>>344308876
Pokestops don't replenish stardust and candies shit for brains. Incense, lure moduels and lucky eggs almost never drop from pokestops.
>>344308996
>but cash means jackshit in this game.
lmao
You're all completely oblivious to how this shit works. Just give it a week or two until your local little jimmy gets a hold of his rich mommy's credit card and beefs up his pokemon to CP 5,000. Enjoy when all your city's gyms are owned by Minecraftkid44 you fucking autistic retard.
>you get more items than you can humanly use. Theres no benefit from the cash shop.
Objectively false you shit eating lying fuck. You can buy bagspace and items from the cashshop that are otherwise impossible to get from pokestops.

Thanks friends I was unsure and merely pretending

Tauros is the rarest one I've gotten. I was surprised as fuck to se it on my overworld radar. The best I have overall is Jolteon.
are servers down rn?
>>344308804
>Yes really.
Not really.
>One example saying otherwise doesn't mean shit.
And your examples saying otherwise does?
Literally none of your ancedotes mean shit. The fact is you don't have to go out roaming and you can earn more items and mons from just sitting at home or at work than going hiking. This isn't disputable.
Just admit you were wrong.
>>344309612
I don't get it

We both know that the amount of people who happen to work or live right on top of a spot is miniscule.
The majority of people playing, the LARGE majority, are out and about. Be it on foot, bike or in the car. Or bus or train.
Now fuck off shitposter.

welp, guess that's it for the industry
>>344302751
Nintendo always aimed for the casual audience anon.
>>344310138
good job, you're completely missing the point of this "game"
>>344309919
>We both know that the amount of people who happen to work or live right on top of a spot is miniscule.
Except pretty much everyone living in a city or densly populated suburb. Your unsubstantiated "majority" doesn't mean shit.
Nice deflection though. How about you fuck off instead of moving the goalposts shiposter.
i want to get a phone so i can actually play this shit. should i buy a phone with a plan?
>>344303210
Me and my 3 roommates own every gym within a 2 mile radius and we haven't dropped a dime
>>344310289
I don't have to move anything. I know what this game is like and I certainly know how people play it.
>>344309967
That it's harder to catch.
>>344298949
you many wanna wait a few months OP, mobile is a fragile economy, and gamers are fickle minded humanoids.
post pokemon collection
>>344310210
The point of the game is undermined by the horrible programming and garbage servers. You don't even have to spoof your wifi in order to "cheat" at this game.
>walk to a gym about a mile from my house
>trainer is LEVEL 153
>the location was a park and i was leaning against a tree.
>i looked to the right of me and there was a group of people sitting on benches, walking their dogs, but there was one person in the shade, sweating his ass off.
>this guy was overweight like he had a fat gut, that you couldnt see that he had a belt on, he had obviously wore oversized jeans.
>he was caucasian, with a beard and problem glasses, wearing jeans with a white shirt and a fedora.
>he was on his phone lying in the shade.
>tapping the screen blazing fast incognito as people jogged by the path, giving him weird looks
>beat the trainer by a sliver of health, thanks to me grinding my ass off to get Gyrados
>all of a sudden, i hear a loud "BULLSHIT" startling everyone and the dogs in the park.
>i looked over to him and his face was RED like a tomato and his face was crunched up like the ugliest dog you can think of
>he noticed that he fucked up.
>the expression on his face was so priceless, you could see the spaghetti oozing out his pockets as realization spread across his face.
>one kid was like "mom, what is bullshit?" and was popped in the mouth and he was screaming
>you can see the visible frustration, rage and embarrassment on his face as some people glanced back at him and walked a little faster.
he hauled ass out of the park, huffing and puffing with his gut bouncing.
I love this game so much

what
It failed because every that bought a Wii realized how terrible it was and didn't want to fall for Nintendo's shit again
>>344309845
yeah but all I get is the pokeball loading icon spinning forever when I try to log in.
>>344310497
The only point of this game, that has very little gameplay, is to
1. go out, be physically active
2. meet other people playing it
that's it.
why bother cheating and removing these parts? It's not like there's much of an actual game behind this. There's no complex battle system or anything really hiding behind it, pointless.
This is geocaching with pokemon
>>344310409
Apparently you don't since you're in completely denial of what the game is like and how people actually play it. Protip: The people you've designated as the "minority" are going to be the ones owning gyms, which is the only way to play properly without spending money on microtrasnsactions.
But please keep deflecting. It isn't going to work.
>>344310521
It's a things that never happened episode again... they air this one like every day
>>344309612
Thank's doc
>>344310521
>beat the trainer
You don't fight the trainer directly, you stupid cuck. Next time invent a story that makes sense
>>344309592
you can buy all items in the cash shop though without paying, you can get up to 100 coins/day if you have 10 pokemons in gyms
I am 32 and plan to get very drunk and walk around my neighborhood most evenings playing PoGo. How long before I start to gain a reputation with the neighborhood kids and/or get questioned by the authorities?
I guess you could describe it as an "activity", but it most certainly isn't a video game. I don't know why you think /v/ is the right place for this.
>>344303808
It's only going to get worse.
>>344310708
>The only point of this game, that has very little gameplay, is to
>1. go out, be physically active

Neither of which you actually have to do in order to collect the most, strongest pokemon and dominate the most gyms. Which is the actual point of this game from an objective standpoint.
>>344310912
If visual novels are video games, then so is this
>>344310985
Stop posting you salty fag, you are insufferable.
>>344298949
all it needed was actuall pokemon mechanics, and this could have been amazing.
I am really let down.
