Is Pokémon Go actually fun?
Ingress is better
Not really.
Who care? Nintendo is going down wafter the amount of lawsuite that will follow case like this:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/10/pokemon-go-armed-robbers-dead-body
>>344657098
Not that any of those are particularly good but fucking XKCD is awful. Not only is it forced it also doesn't make sense. Did he even play the game?
>>344657331
>In Wyoming on Friday, the game led a teenager to a dead body in a river. “I just got up and went for my little walk, a walk to catch Pokémon,” 19-year-old Shayla Wiggens told local KCWY news. The pursuit led her to a highway bridge over the river, where she jumped a fence to approach the water. She spotted two deer near the water’s edge, and then a black shirt and pants – a corpse lying prone in the water, 6ft to her left.
Fool, it's just a new Ghost Type pokémon: lyingcorpus. It's the only ghost pokémon to have Rest.
>>344657331
I'm not American but Jesus isn't it your own problem if you wander somewhere unsafe while playing a game?
>>344657641
>Wiggins said the discovery of a corpse would not deter her from returning to the game. “I might go get a water Pokémon,” she told CNN. “I’m going to try.
>>344657098
i like it. Casual, no doubt, but its not that bad. There's a lot of hate for it being a mobile/nintendo/not sony but when it comes to the game itself, its half decent. good for walks. Like playing tetris but with a reason to go outside.
>>344657641
There is exactly zero ghost Pokemon that can't learn rest
>>344657098
Im so triggered.
Its makes no fucking sense that someone would go over a bridge for a pokemon. It fucking shows up on your god damn map and all you do is tap on it holy fucking shit you can be a mile away from it and you just tap it to engage the pokemon.
In the middle of the street, shady houses, a pool of cancer. you dont need to fucking go anywhere near places like that.
These comics are so fucking stupid and dont make sense.
>>344657819
>comparing tetris to this trash
>>344657098
Even the knee has a pig nose.
And what the fuck is up with that stick figure comic? Gyroscope? Has the author been called out?
I wouldn't know, because it doesn't fucking work on my phone.
>>344658073
both casual games anon.
>>344657937
You can't be that far away. Not even close. Maybe half a block instead, and they don't just spawn. You have to walk around to get near them.
Consider that by playing it you are providing Nintendo with so much tracking data that they'll single handedly be able to provide Google with the map data to run their unmanned vehicles and maintain maps without any street view cars. You are a big data social experiment and Nintendo is making bank off your ignorance
>>344657098That penny arcade made me laugh
Send help.
>>344658445
>and Nintendo is making bank
>off your ignorance
>your ignorance
You said that as if it would make people stop if they knew about it.
>>344658613
More so a reason why the game is so shit. They're not making money off micro transactions so they don't need to put any effort into it. Merely by dangling the Pokemon carrot they've solved any financial problem they have for the next 20 years.
>>344658445
Not really. You could Google your daily routine on Google maps years ago and this isn't much different. This is just more up front with it
Its pretty much impossible to play unless you live in a big town or city.
The game is fun but why is the app so shit? Starts slowly, drains battery, can't idle in the background. Fuck off.
Do you have to carry the phone unlocked and running the app to hatch eggs?
>>344658584
It's funny sometimes. Big deal.
>>344657098
only if you're in a city. pretty much innawoods here and the nearest pokestop is ~20 miles away and no idea where the nearest gym is
>that xkcd strip
Fucking hell, you know the joke is shit when even Buckley makes a funnier one than you.
I doubt the XKCD is talented enough to make a believable Squirtle figure.
>>344658945
Ya, I mean you can do battery saving mode to turn the screen off when the phones in your pocket. Otherwise the app has to be on.
It's my main problem with the app
>>344657098
No, its not even a game.
All you do is walk around and then tap on the screen a bit. Its nothing but wasted potential. They could have added a basic battle system, trading and whatnot. But instead all you do is walk and tap.
>>344658945
yes
>>344657465
>set up doll to look like Pokémon looks in game
>person sees it without looking at their screen
>person believes they're hallucinating
Tell me which part doesn't make sense?
>>344657331
Loading screen warns players to remain aware of their surroundings. With how bad the servers have been it's impossible to have not seen it.
>>344658945
>The game is fun
Stop using buzzwords for one goddamn second and explain what's so entertaining about it.
Can you battle with other GO users?
Can you train your mons?
Can you pet your mons? Can you interact with them in any way?
>>344657098
Don't believe the hype OP.
The battling is the most turboshit load of bollocking I've come across.
>>344659298
In the comic the guy isn't hallucinating. The problem is that XKCD guy implies that people go around looking for pokemon through the AR camera. That's simply not now the app works. So either he didn't play it or he realised his shit joke didn't work and posted his anyway because his gay fans would defend it anyway.
>>344658292
>tetris
>casual game
It's like you've never played tetris.
>>344659343
>fun is a buzzword
>>344657937
You wouldn't believe how many people haven't figured out that you can interact with Pokémon outside of your radar ping.
>>344659275
There are failure states - not catching a Pokémon or not defeating a gym. It's an incredibly easy game that's reliant on RNG and grinding over any kind of real skill, but it's a game regardless.
>>344659298
>Tell me which part doesn't make sense?
Are you actually retarded? How impossible and expensive it would be to create a gyroscopic Pokemon that looks like a videogame character that hopefully the person sees with their phone instead of their actual eyes?
Jesus you dumbass.

Of course there's not a bunch of technical words for this you retard, its a F2P AR phone game. You just hate anything the masses latch onto so you're trying to sound advanced on a imageboard.
Pathetic. Who gives a fuck what people enjoy for free. It's like the ultimate casual walking game.
NOOOOOOOORMIESSSSSSSSS
>>344657098LOLLOL
Local strip club is one of the stops.
>>344659418
I guess the comic is just to ~smart~ for you, anon. Thankfully ~I~ am more enlightened and educated so I'm able to fully appreciate it.
Man, my farts smell so good.
>>344657331

>The Buckley comic has the fewest WORDS
What universe is this?
>>344659550
are you actually retarded? It's a joke. You know, "haha this thing to make Go players feel like they're hallucinating is funny because it's relevant and at the same time, very expensive and impractical to do."
>>344659550

>anyone involved made the argument that he sincerely does this
>>344659783
Every funny joke is a half-truth. This is inaccurate.
Unless, again, like I said, you are retarded.
>>344659783
We all know it's a joke the problem is that it's shit.
>>344659584
Because you're too lazy to google...
Can you battle with other GO users?
yes
Can you train your mons?
yes
Can you pet your mons? Can you interact with them in any way?
no
Happy now?
>>344659906
Are people actually calling them "mons" now?
Jesus fucking christ.

You think that's something?I didn't even think that Buckley comic was unfunny.
>>344659418
>Really playing Pokemon GO
Are you stupid?
>>344659514
Fun is an easy out when you can't describe what specifically about it makes it fun for you. It either says that you're incapable of the critical thought to recognize why you like things or that you're mindlessly going along with it because it's popular.
>>344659783
You don't look for pokemon in Go through your camera.
You have to TAP on a pokemon from a bird's-eye view in order to make them show up in AR mode.
The joke doesn't work because that's just not how the game functions.
If it was how the game functions, that'd be hilarious.

I find the stories about people getting robbed for their phones at 2 am because a gang of niggas put up a lure and then rob these kids with guns more funny than these comics

>>344660783
Jesus Christ you're just going in circles with your stupidity.
The joke doesn't make sense unless you have no experience with the game or think really, really simple jokes are funny.

>>344666702
What is "autism" then? It doesn't even take a lot of time or dedication. You can knock out a half dozen max IV Pokemon while you watch a movie.
>>344666945
Autism is repetition. And you're exaggerating on how fast it takes. You might have a whole max IV and EV team after three or four days. Longer if you're looking to breed egg moves and have to catch the egg move parent and teach them the move from scratch.
Do this every time you want a new team. Then that same person does it for years upon years of literally the exact same thing. Grinding repetition and not getting bored or fed up is literally a symptom of autism.

>>344667238
>You might have a whole max IV and EV team after three or four days.
Holy fuck, dude, you're doing something wrong. I used to breed/train Pokemon for competitive battles a year or two ago and you are greatly over exaggerating how long it takes.
It goes like this, if I recall correctly:
>trade your shit legendary for a max IV ditto
>slap an item on that ditto that allows it to pass down 5 of its 6 IVs intact (meaning all children will have 5 perfect stats, minimum
>find a friend safari with the Pokemon you want to breed (/vp/ is great for this)
>capture one with the nature you want
>put the item on that makes them pass their nature down to children
>make them fuck the ditto a few times
>hatch a dozen eggs, 2-3 are likely to be max stats in all the stats you care about. Sp. Attackers don't care about Attack, so you just need to hatch one with imperfect Attack stat (1 in 6 chance)
It's really that easy. You can do this for several Pokemon in the time it takes to watch a movie. EV training is even easier.
>look up EV you want to train
>go to area
>one shot enemies with high level Pokemon while 5 Pokemon with EXP Share collect EVs
>entire team trained in minutes.
Who would have thought that of all board, it would be /v/ /vp/ that would invade out? It has already begin.

I've met some cool people while walking around in my little town with only 2 pokestops.
This game gets me off my ass and wandering around. It's both healthy, meet random cool people and fun.
It's not out in norway yet but i expect it to be big when it does. Already so many people in my tiny countryside town play it.
It's fun for me. Might not be fun for you. Depends on how you like the idea of walking around outside instead of sitting on your ass in your room.

>>344670003
google it. There are thousands of websites with tips and help on how to get it for android and iphone.
since it's to hard for you, let me help you. Search this: pokemon go iphone download
I got it yesterday and haven't seen a single pokemon. How do you find them?
I see there are 4 near me but I don't know where I'm supposed to go. The game doesn't explain shit to you.
Is it just a random encounter when walking? I got this game because I walk like 6km every day at my job and thought I could grind a lot of pokemon that way. Do you have to go to different streets etc.?
>>344670290
Nevermind, my reading comprehension is shit. I thought you said /vp/ was invading out /v/
>>344665716
Yeah nah get fucked cunt.
>>344662082

>>344670423
Click the pokemon you retard.
>>344670423
the phone "close pokemons" dont update as often as the servers. Try closing and starting up the app.
I've found several by using incense and just waiting it out. The number of paws indicate how close or far away they are.
But yes, it's random. But geo based. I had plenty of luck at a nearby harbour. Got 5 squirtles and a tentacool.
basically you walk around and see if the paws change from 3 to 2 to 1. If they dont you go another direction.

No, instead the Japanese police refuse to pursue any crime they won't have a 100% chance of conviction due to the belief that if someone is acquitted it's dishonorable service.
Why the hell isn't it counting steps in the background?
Why doesn't it pop a notification if a pokemon is near?
Why does the game not prevent my phone from auto off when I have it running in my pocket?
These are things that are integral in the mobile app world.

Why is that bad?
>>344657098
Anyone know where to find rarepokemons?
>>344670206
what level are you?
>>344657098
Yes mainly because of the social interaction. I've been bumping into a lot of cute girls lately near my school and it's so easy to talk to them and ask them out because you can just start off by talking about pokemon then just slowly build things up from there.
>>344670206

I'd argue the oil one shouldn't be counted since the US takes up a good deal of a continent and Japan is an island barely the size of one of our major states of course we use more fossil fuels.

I think it's geographically centered, with this i mean normals such as Rattatas and Pidgeys spawn near the primary roads, in my city Mons tend to appear in the entrance to different streets. If i check every few minutes from my room (my jiuse is in between 2 roads) i see several mons, the rarers appear in the house and normals on the road.

I did that at a con for the first time just this last weekend. I'm definitely going to do it again.I have legitimate issues with repressed feminine behavior when I was younger. Being mistaken for a girl warms my heart.

Kinda reminds me of my experience in technical college.
Was going to the Art Institute in San Diego, living in school-sponsored housing at an apartment complex. First quarter there I met a guy, kinda short and average but pretty hot, too. Big anime fan and gamer, had his hair done like Link/Ed Elric. We became friends, and after a couple of semesters we started getting closer.
One night, when we were snuggling and petting, he started crying and revealed that he was actually a woman (which explained why he had something around his chest and never let me grope his crotch, only his ass). He wore really tight sports bras to squish his breasts.
He was 100% female too. As he explained it, he was born out of wedlock to a 15-year-old mother from what may have been an incestuous relationship and was put up for adoption. His foster parents never told him about his mother, father, or anything of his baby days, and his guesswork is that he was born a herm and his parents had him worked on to be a girl, but his mind was male. And he's always hated his female body.
We stayed together after the revelation, and he may have hated his body, but he had a pair of breasts any girl would kill to have. After a while, he finally let me suck and play with them, and even have vaginal sex with him (fortunately, he was sterile, so no condom needed). And he may have hated his body, but he had some powerful orgasms from it.
God, I wish we were still together.

Where have you been for the past 15 years?

How come every XKCD comic sounds so pretentious.
>>344672981
Too bad ;_;
>>344672903
Play pokemon Red or Blue it also comes with good gameplay.
>>344673235
>so no condom needed
Dude, there is still the diseases. I mean, from your story, he? she? seemed virgin, but that doesn't mean you are safe, as MST can be transmitted through other means than sex. also, you can transmit diseases too.
>>344672837
Go home goobergater
>>344673395
In a coma as far as pokemon is concerned.
I only played the originals.
>>344673451
It's mostly you projecting.
I don't, know. I dicovered xkcd thanks to 4chan in the first place, in a time when it was actually still liked, then slowly, people started to disliked. Never happened to me, but I have seen grown this attitude on 4chan where they take more and more comics as a personal offence.
>>344673451
You're probably an English major. Maybe if you studied Math or Physics, you'd understand.
>>344673690
that post has zero to do with Gamergate.
>>344673451
He is literally the most intelligent person in the world. 4chan virgins WISH they could compare to him.
Be happy he takes the time from his amazing life to even make you comics, you disgusting pig.
>>344657098
As always Ronny is the only remotely funny one.

I don't know, maybe it is just the ones I've read but this strip doesn't even have a joke. The whole point seems to be for him to show off that he knows the technical terms that describe the effect used in Pokemon Go. There was no real comedy involved.
>>344674687
Congratulations. You have already proven you're smarter than the guy who makes XKCD.
>>344673842
>>344674687
No, XKCD really is just pretentious. There are almost never jokes, 90% of the strips are "People do things this way but I would do it in this incredibly more difficult and super smarter way because I am smarter than everyone".

Are you fucking retarded? Do you know frivolous lawsuits set the ground for future retarded lawsuits? That you can't even expect people to know coffee is HOT anymore or you'll get sued?
You fat fucks disgust me.
>>344674903
That old lady got burned pretty bad bro.
>>344674687
Congrats, that's 95% of XKCD
either "I know X and they do not"
or "I do X and they do Y, but I believe X is better thus they are dumb"
>>344674903
>That you can't even expect people to know coffee is HOT anymore or you'll get sued?
The coffee was far above the recommended safe temp McDonalds was supposed to have their coffee at, to the point where it caused third degree burns. THAT was the point of the lawsuit, not that it was hot but that it was life threateningly hot.
Also she literally only asked for the cost of her medical bills, it was the jury who awarded her a ton more.
>>344673235
I hope this is true. It's a cute story. Just think, some day people might be telling stories like this that started as shitty Pokémon Go meetups.
>>344674903
the part noone mentions is that she got 3rd degree burns all over her body, it was way too fucking hot
>>344663069
What are you even talking about ?
I have plenty of Scottish friends playing it.
>>344671545
this is shitty because its just a numbers game
compare how many murders there would be in the entire country of america to small as heck japan. of course the numbers would be different. I wish they had these statistics for foriegners thatd be interesting.
>>344675892
It's ratio based, genius.
>>344672837
hurrhurr
Does xkcd only appeal to aspies and pseudointellectual 16-year-olds?
>>344676013
IT'S 2016 PEOPLE
IT'S NOT LIKE MANKIND NEEDED 200 MILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION UNTIL HISTORY BEGAN BEING RECORDED OR ANYTHING
>>344676013
No it assumes that some guys are rapists and they'll probabaly rape a slutty looking chick who's alone over a conservatively dressed woman with friends.
>>344676013
>wherever I go, I must also rape
>>344666178
>>344665882I don't see it
>>344676013
FOOLISH SJW.
YOU ONLY NOW REALIZE, BUT IT IS TOO LATE.
YOU ARE ALREADY RAPED!
>>344676013
I mean in reality is our natural state not rapists?
Would you not rape if that was suddenly not a rule or seen as sociallly unacceptable?
id probably rape. :|
>>344657098
I tried to play Leaf Green years ago. I basic idea of Pokemon appeals to me, but after about an hour I just wasn't into it. So I've never completed a Pokemon game.
But fuck me if Go! isn't entertaining as hell for me and I have no idea why.
>>344674873
>but I would do it in this incredibly more difficult and super smarter way because I am smarter than everyone".
>>344674873
This is not what xkcd is about.
I will agree that xkcd is not as funny as before, but it's not pretentious.
xkcd is more like a standup comedian that goes "have you noticed how people usually goes.. What if instead they were.. I mean, am I right, people, am I right?"
But it has nothing to do with pretentiousness. It just people here who those past 5 years have decided that more and more comics are personally attacking them.
>>344673681
Not him but I've rarely seen such empathy on /v/ before, props man. Instead of calling him a massive faggot you offered genuinely helpful advice. Granted, technically he isn't a massive faggot if he's fucking a girl he at first thought was a guy, I suppose that means he's only a moderate faggot which is perfectly acceptable.

I have been mentioning that every time sometime bring that lawsuit. I am glad it's actually catching on.
>>344676790
One of my old teachers told my class that when it was brought up.
Fuck the old lady tho. Some old lady with shaky hands buying a super hot drink. I'm just glad mcdonalds got jewed out of millions of dollars.
>>344657098
>Novelty of going around finding new pokemon to capture like a real trainer would (though there's not enough spawns in forests/wild areas)
>An excuse to get that daily exercise people always say you should get
>Game is highly distracting so you can walk quite a ways without realizing it
>The social aspect of finding others looking for shit as well, or even inviting them via lures
>The explorative aspect as you discover hiking trails/bike paths/parks/landmarks around your town you never knew about
>The competative aspect of fighting for gyms both from pride and to get free shit.
>The promise of even more to be added
This app is buggy as hell, but you must admit, from a design perspective, the success really isn't a surprise. It's enough to catch a huge audience and with the potential of adding more generations, it should be able to keep people for a year or two easily.
>>344659610
Proof positive that the androids have already invaded.
>>344673690
This :/
>>344677259
>a year or two
I hope it lasts that long, it feel like everyone is trying to rush off to some sort of finish to the point of trying to cheat even though it's not the goal of the game.
>>344677124
Actually, she had put the drink on her lap for better stability (the Mc Donald store, had run out of cup holder), but it spilled anyway because of an brutal stop.
so yeah, she got a 3rd degree burn in her neither region.
>Ran out of pokeballs
>Don't want to walk around my shitty ghetto neighborhood and stand in the park where drug deals and dog fights go down to get more
Welp this game was fun while it lasted

I've had to cancel to adventure dates with a qt because the servers in PR are out
>>344677928
Hot pussy man.
>>344657465
It makes sense, but it doesnt change the fact that xkcd is awful.
>>344679019
Are you actually autistic? That's the perfect opportunity to turn it into a proper date.
>>344673074
We've been through this.
The law and common morals both say no rape ever. That part's clear. However, if you're a fucking adult, or even a child above five or so, you are expected to be aware that the world has people in it that don't obey laws, and act accordingly. If you set yourself up for rape, the rapist is the one who did a bad thing, but you're the one who did a _stupid_ thing.
>>344676013
Are people this retarded that they unironically believe this? It is only a meme right?
How buttmad are nu-genners right now that pokemon go only has gen 1 pokemon(real pokemon)?
>>344676506
I would kill a shitload of people if I knew I could get away with it, however I don't believe it makes sense to describe my "natural state" as a "killer".
>>344676013
Rapists will exist whether you make these images or not
It's called taking precautions so these rapists don't pick you
>>344671545
>murder rate Japan vs America is 1.05:5
>92% less likely
heh someone's stats are fucked
>>344679403
At the end of the day I care more about not getting raped than I do who was at fault for the rape. So I take simple steps to help prevent being raped.
>>344679403
The problem is, that logic lead to no_fun_allowed.jpg
Also it skim over the elephant in the room. People like to think that the rapist is that evil raping man who like to rpae and most rape eveyrwhere he goes.
Most rape stem from perfectly normal people who thought"One time" isn't bad and then goes on to actually blame the victim for making themselves hot.
Also, it's important to remember that in a lot of rape, the woman didn't actually look slutty. She was simply alone with an opportunity to rape and that's it.
>>344679679
>I would kill a shitload of people if I knew I could get away with it
It's fun and anyone who says otherwise literally hasn't played it or is too inept to actually socialize with other people.
>>344657098
Man I would totally jump of any bridge to get my hands on a real Eevee.
