Post ITT if you haven't given in to the lure of Pokemon Go! yet.
Already 3% of America has it. It's only a matter of time until it spreads.
I haven't gotten it. Does every person on it see the same pokemon? What's to stop pedophiles waiting at that spot to abduct dumb kids?
And it's not even released world wide yet.
Handhelds and consoles are the new arcades, they will be out by the next decade.
>>344700518
I don't think Nintendo cares when they put gyms in god damned strip clubs.
>>344698736
I'm a huge pokefag but I'm just not excited; I don't think I'm going to get it
All you do is walk around and catch them right? Can't even battle?
Nigga I'm looking forward to Sun/Moon. I like to fucking TRAIN AND FIGHT my niggers.
I have no idea what pokemon go is and why suddenly everyone is talking about it. Also why the fuck do adults that never play videogames suddenly gush about fucking pokemon.
>>344698736
>Something is popular, therefore it must be bad and/or harmful in some way
Who hurt you, anon?
>>344700826
>Nintendo
Has nothing to do with this
>>344698736
the area I live in is too rural so nothing spawns for me. I doubt there'll be a patch fixing that before I leave so I probably won't touch it again
>>344700518
Their parents actually watching them... oh wait.

You are probably that weird guy in school anon, all the cool kids play Pokemon GO these days, noone gives a shit about Sun and Moon.
>>344700904
Welllll
too
bad~
Every new pokemon game is going to follow the same non-vidya formula from now on. Hope you enjoy playing the same 7 gen games forever anon.Sun and moon better be good otherwise I'll just end myself

#90sKids
>>344698736
I would play it but have an iphone 4s
Also pretty stupid that the game didnt get released with pvp aspect or trading like was shown in the trailers
>>344701171
idk, it's just that the new Pokemon revealed so far look way more exciting than fucking shitty Pidgeys
>>344701209
Better have a fucking Battle Frontier this time

Welcome to 4chan, where anything popular = Jewish plot to kill white people.
>>344701535
Did the jews make you say this
>>344698736
My phone can't play it
>>344698736
I played it. Caught a few things and deleted it. Barebones as fuck. Hopefully they add shit later on.
>>344701535
Jews don't want to kill anyone; they want them to live financially indebted to them.
I downloaded it but I don't intend to play unless my friend wants me to. The game kills my battery and is the barebones of what a "game" is. It's not fun, it's just tapping and sliding shit on the screen. Boring as fuck.
I don't understand the appeal. You can't trade, you can't breed, you can't use pokemon moves to battle. Those are the main reasons I would play a pokemon game
>>344701421
I was just joking, everbody knows that Sun and Moon are better than a fucking mobile game.
Just uninstalled. I have been cleansed. Come on in boys. The water is fine.
>>344701974
People that play GO hate pokemon. That's a fact. There's a reason why this shit will die once they add newer gen pokemons.
>>344698736
>going outside
>>344698736
Pokemon Go is a Pokemon game for normalfags and le 90s kids hipsters who don't actually like Pokemon.

try it out anon
>>344698736
I gave up at the login screen because I just don't give enough of a damn.
>>344701395
they announced trade for an upcoming update
>>344701171
>You are probably that weird guy in school anon, all the cool kids play Pokemon GO these days, noone gives a shit about Sun and Moon.
How old are you if you're still in school?
>>344702331
I can interact with people without having to download a phone app
>>344700518
The same Pokemon will show up for anyone near a spot. I don't know how long they stay there tho
>>344702328
can confirm
>out for an eat with friends
>they hit the buffet
>guy cleaning the place comes up to me asking if i into poke go
>fucking no.avi
>he shills a little asking why

I want to play it, but it doesn't work on my phone.
Should I count myself lucky? Or is it actually good?

I found a center at a little girls' dance studio. I don't know how to feel about that.
>>344702645
You just walk a ground and try not to get robbed. Not that great desu.
Im just waiting for the exploits so i can dominate an entire town
you can battle at gyms dummies
>normies pretend this game is "bringing people together" when really it's just a bunch of cool 90s kids standing around near each other looking at their phones like they usually do

lol
what's next
maybe we should blame the company that made the footware they were wearing
Story is fake as fuck.
>>344698736
sounds fun, but i was never a huge pokemon fan
maybe ill try it when i get a new phone
>>344703831
I've gotten laid because of this game. You can stay in your house and pretend other people aren't having fun if you want.
you have 5 seconds to help me decide android or iphone

Fuck off scrub. Call me back when you wade into a fucking swamp in the middle of the night 100 miles from the nearest hint of civilization just to find a box worth a roll of toilet paper inside.
>>344704071
w...well I lift heavy stuff and put it back down. and y..you ?
>>344704012
no you didn't.
I just don't have a desire to try it desu not trying to be a contrarian but I'm content with the main games.
>>344698736
I tried it but I can't really play it where I live without leaving the house which I don't really have any good reason to do so I don't really care.
>>344704180
Sounds fun, anon.
I don't like Pokemon.
I don't own a mobile.
>>344704338
Yeah, dude. Turns out your mom's REALLY into Pokemon.
>>344702203
>dont give a fuck about pokemon since then 2 but tried to get back into it during 4 but didn't like it

Well I guess you're right.
>>344704180
Geocaching was fun back in high school. Drove up rural roads and sneaked onto people's land to get to some of them.
>>344698736
I don't and never willBut my wife does and I have enjoyed he time we have spent at parks and malls hunting for her pokemon.

>>344698736
As a fan since the originals, I had to give it a chance, even though I already knew what to expect. I played for 10 or 20 minutes, and can say it's what I expected, mobile crap. It's not a good Pokemon game, it's not a good game in general. There's no fun involved if you cannot properly battle, or trade. Now if you could do those, it might have been a lot more fun.
I'll stick to the real games, looking forward to Sun/Moon.
>>344705672
>makes up fake stories about getting laid to impress other anons
>calls others pathetic
can't make this shit up.
Its pretty fun to walk around with your friends and play, game isnt the best thing ever but its a fun activity
>>344705772

All this does is make me want Sun and Moon more.
Checking in. Live in fucking MT anyway. Would've only had a horde of Normal types.
>>344698736
Normies have short attention spans. Watch as they all jump ship as soon as they introduce Pokemon that weren't on the Pokerap.
It's like a miniature version of what happened to Pokemon in the 2000's.
>>344707553
Did that many people really bail after gen 1? I remember it still being pretty big in gen 2 and a decent amount of were still playing in gen 3.
SQUIRTLE'S SO CUTE
>>344708120
I wonder how badly he'll regret it in September when this game is dead.
>>344708120
>That skin
are white people part chicken
>>344702328
Can confirm, I am one of those people. But it is still fun to fuck around with.
>>344708430
He won't regret it at all, look at the rest of him.
>>344708861
Yeah it doesn't seem like he's very good at planning ahead.
>>344701073
Konami.
I installed it for 5 minutes to see if this was the reason there's been so many annoying kids around my apartment complex lately
Sure enough, it's a pokestop
>>344708665
POO IN LOO
>>344708987
I wonder if luers can be used to pull crowds of people to a certain area to keep them away from where you want to be.
>>344704012
The game is already a success, there is no need to shill THIS hard.
Christ.
>>344709148

Stop this shitty meme.

I deliver pizzas for a living. If I played that fucking game I'd end up killing myself in a car crash.
>>344708987
>you live at a stop
Prank those kids, anon
>>344709626
Got any fun/wacky stories from your job, anon?
>>344698736
I don't have a smartphone, I'm still running my almost decade old flip phone. I want to say that I don't want to deal with constantly upgrading more fragile phones but I'm just too poor to pay for a data plan. My coworkers seem like they're having a lot of fun.
>>344698736
I installed it, played it, realized that I would have to drive 10 minutes every time I needed Pokeballs and deleted it.
I'm still excited for Sun/Moon though. I'll probably buy a 3DS for them.
>>344709781
tell me what I should do, and I will
>mother calls me
>tells me she is sick
>buy her medicine and give it to her and head back
>all of this in less than 1 hour because I'm too busy catchin rare pokemon
I hope that cough syrup is enough
>>344709781
I wouldn't...
>>344698736
I'll get it when they have ranked PvP. where a pokemon who loses, dies.
>>344710360
Your life is fucking embarrassing.
I'm enjoying casually catching Pokemon and visiting the stops that are at the stores I go to. The competitive part about it is the real turn off.
I haven't, but only because my phone is too old to run it.
>>344698736
Except thats not how the fucking game works. If they know its a Pikachu then they can tap the fucker from where they are standing and get it, and EVERYONE can get the damn pokemon and not just one person. Fuck I mad
>>344710183
Don't do it.
>>344710551
Says the fuccboi posting in a laotian scribbles imageboard
>>344710660
I never got this either. You just have to tap it. Also, cool your autism.
>>344710747
You say its my autism, but I swear its everyone elses retardation

>It's gotten to the point where normies on facebook and twitter are stealing each other's pokemon go stories

>you have an iphone 4
l-looks stupid anyway
>>344704014
Get a Windows phone.
>>344698736
Thats not how it works
If you ccan see what pokemon it is you just need to touch it and it spawns infront of you.
Shes a lieing whore
Kys
>>344698736
literal botnet
If I had an interest in Pokemon anymore, I'd just buy a 3DS and get homebrew on it.
This is a social fad that will pass over. However, if Nintendo puts in actual effort into this "game" I'd play it. I want 4 moves per Pokemon, moves you choose by leveling or TMs, and direct battles against other players not "battle players pokemon they leave and auto RNG battle".
>>344710660
>>344710747
If it's a rare pokemon it disappears shortly after one person catches it. Not that a lot of people can't easily get it if they all find it together but it can happen.
>>344698736
I haven't but it's mostly because I fell for the ios meme and can't update right now since I'm on vacation. This shits going viral fast,I was at sea world and they brought it up in one of their sea lion shows. I'll probably get it and see if there's any interesting pokestops where I live
I downloaded it but it rained for 13 hours so I couldn't go outside.
>>344711050
Thats all pokemon, just no one gives a shit about another Pidgey to notice
>>344701152
>parent shaming
>in 2016
I'll be damned if I support a fucking mobile game. I don't care who made it.
Wow v is contrarian, what a fucking shock.
>download it
>remember I live in the middle of nowhere
>closest pokestop and gym are 15 miles away
>"nearby" pokemon are half a mile into a corn field

Here's a short list of why Pokemon Go is cancer:
>your phone is constantly scanning every step you take and sending that info back to google
>businesses are using the lure system to get customers
>businesses are offering pokemon only to paying customers
>criminals are using the lure system to attract kids to locations where they rob them (smart phones are valuable)
>homeowners are constantly being harassed by (man)children
>owners of landmark sites are seeing their establishments flooded with (man)children
>there have been several instances of (man)children walking the fuck into traffic while they look for pokemon
This shit is fucking cancer.
>>344711392
Most of /v/ has hated Pokemon for several gens now
Why would a mobile version of Pokemon change that, especially when the mobile version lacks many things that make the games actual games?
>>344704208
>w...well I lift heavy stuff and put it back down. and y..you ?
I keked irl
So I don't own a smartphone because mine broke and im planning to move soon so I don't want to get a new phone plan does anyone know if Tracfones have access to the google shop?
The game is shit, servers a crap. Cant even create a Pokemon trainer account because they limit the amount of new accounts per hour.
Oh also if you log in with your google account it gives Pokemon go FULL access to your google account. So they basically can access all your shit. If you turn off full access then log back in with google it auto grants full access without telling you.
My experience so far with the game. Servers usually down, when I do log in literally nothing loads around me and I'm not in some small fuck town. Instruction on how to play is almost absent when you do get in. The battle system is a joke.

>>344700518
>What's to stop pedophiles waiting at that spot to abduct dumb kids?
Yeah, I also wouldn't put it past LGBT to setup some traps for kids.
>>344711574
While I agree with most of this,if you aren't a /g/ tinfoil that takes very good care of covering up all your tracks it's not one little app that will make Google know where you are all the time sincethey already do regardless

>"and I see myself in that little boy"
>>344702638
>Talking about something you like is shilling
I don't think that word means what you think it means
>>344709443
It's true though. Nintendo didn't develop the game. Niantic developed it, the same people who made Ingress. Niantic is owned by google. Both games help google have data for their maps.
>>344698736
>tfw south america
WHERE THE HELL IS POKEMON GO?
>>344711926
Google has strict maps of the inside of everyone's house? Nope.
Thanks to snapchat, there's enough data to create perfect 3D renders of over 10mil faces.
This app is doing the same thing for people's homes.
I don't get why it's so popular; it was fun for about 10 minutes for me. Can you battle people? It'd be fun to battle other people to decide who catches the Pokemon you're both near.
>>344711574
Actually like the one autists are getting hit by not paying attention is great
>>344712391
You literally just walk around and collect shit.
It's like MMO farming, but you walk around in the real world, pointing your phone at fucking everything.
>>344712391
It's a collect-a-ton for Pokemon. It's appealing for normies
>>344712391
You can battle at gyms iirc but it's not very in depth
They are talking about adding a proper battle system in the future, but I imagine it'll be pretty dumbed down in itself
How accurate is this trailer?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sj2iQyBTQs
I tried it but its just not fun unless you live in one of the places it was made for/the city
The fact that theres no battling other than those awful gyms is inexcusable
>>344712734
it has Pokemon in the title
just about it
>>344710660
It might have been too far away to catch from in front of the house
>>344701148
I also live 20 minutes from the nearest town but I just plan a morning a week to go to the park and drive around spinning Poke Stops. It helps that I have a lil bro who Pokemon otherwise I'd probably just keep playing Metal Gear or something
>>344698736
WHY CONTAIN IT
>>344702328
I still have my original games and gameboy. We exist, but you are right people who don't know shit about pokemon are playing because its "hip"
>have 3 Pokestops in walking distance spread a total of a quarter mile from each other.
>can just take a nice stroll in a circle I want and keep hitting them
A random gazebo in the middle of a small rotary, a park, and a bus stop (seriously, just a bench on the side of the road). Shit's nice.
>>344711574
>your phone is constantly scanning every step you take and sending that info back to google
Well, I mean, your phone is doing that ANYWAY.
Google maps is awesome.
>>344712210
Who the hell is using this game in their home?
>>344712205
Far away from us fellow anon.
the only pokestop for miles is a church that also functions as a daycare
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get arrested if I keep pacing back and forth in front of it with my phone out
>>344707982
coming from someone whos favorite gen was gen 2, i can say with confidence that only fans of the series will ever know any of the pokemon of that gen and beyond. I guarantee you no normie even knows what a chikorita is.i grew up in a ghetto where all of the kids acted too mature for their age so there were only like 5 people who played pokemon in the whole school. we had to hide it too or else we'd get made fun of like no other. makes me mad that now these type of people are the same ones eating pokemon go up
>>344717282
maybe you'll find a mr.mime tho
>>344710989
This. All those normies downloading it and playing it 24/7 are just another source of data. In the end it's probably gonna end up as FOTM shit that dies out by the end of August.
>>344717282
Why not just park your car near it?
>>344708962

>>344717098
Mexican here
Just download the apk, it works fine for me. Already level 6
I can't really imagine this game keeping this hype train going for more than another week or two. It has 10% of the content of an actual pokemon game. I was surprised when I heard you could actually battle, and then I was not surprised when I heard you couldn't do so against other people.
so tonight the cops got called to my town green twice because of Pokemon go
>some kid kept yelling fuck everytime he didn't catch Pokemon
>somebody broke into a business looking for ninetales
Anybody else got retard Pokemon go stories? I'm interested
>>344702645
What phone do you have? I originally thought it wouldn't work on my phone, but after 3 days of logging in I finally managed to not crash on the TOS and am able to play.
>>344711574
>>your phone is constantly scanning every step you take and sending that info back to google
What the fuck else do you think a GPS is going to do? Send your location to Jesus?
I cant play pokemon go even though I want to.
my 5 or 6 year old iphone can barely handle taking a call for more than 5 minutes.

>>344719097
>What the fuck else do you think a GPS is going to do? Send your location to Jesus?
Why did you bother posting this
I'm pretty sure anyone can catch the same Pokemon at the same time
Was at work and a co-worker pointed out there was an exeggcute, and 4 of us caught it
>>344719870
Because that guy was bitching about the stupidest thing.

>a few chicks dropped their phone by the beach tryin to catch pokemon in the water.
>policed called bcuz some dude camped out in front of a gym he captured, which was in front of some guy's house.
This game brought cancer to the streets.
>>344720016
Some people are concerned with privacy matters. You obviously didn't understand the point behind mentioning GPS if your comparison is something about a kitchen appliance making food.
>>344720191
>Some people are concerned with privacy matters.
And they are morons, seeing as they have smartphones.
It's like fucking a different hooker bareback every night and worrying about STDs.
>>344712205

>>344711724
Make a google account with fake info
>>344720398
>And they are morons, seeing as they have smartphones.
GPS can be turned on and off at will.
You're not even arguing because this is something you feel strongly about, you just need to keep doubling down to assert that the other guy you greentexted is an idiot.
>>344720191
>m-muh privacy
He says as literally every bit of important information about him that he tries to protect is instantly available to our government.
>playing smartphone games
How about using your phone to read books and shit, that's comfy and doesn't wreck your battery life.
>>344720576
So, because some people have access to personal information, I shouldn't give a shit who has access to it? That's the point you're making, dumb shit.
>as literally every bit of important information about him
exaggerating to make your point hurts your point, not helps it.
>mfw lumia 630
I'm not replacing my phone for one fucking app..
>>344720713
Whoever you're protecting your information from can already easily access the information you're trying to hide.
>>344711885
>wouldn't put it past LGBT to setup some traps for kids
Did you grow up watching 50s propaganda? There are way, way, WAY more straight pedos than gays, since they're only like 5% of the population.
Reporting in. Haven't played it. Not that into Pokemon and I don't outside often. Also fuck going outside in the day time, it's way too hot.
>>344720874
Not the point retard.
>>344700904
As a weirdo loner it would probably be bad for me to walk around catching pokemon
>>344721079
Regardless, what do you have to fear from Google?
>>344698736
>tfw these captchas send our text posts to google
>>344698736
I'm good. Pokemon has been shit for a long time and this is no different.
>>344721505
Regardless, why do I need a reason for my own privacy?
>owning a smart phone
>>344721138
Yes. People would laugh at you.
But there would also be a bunch of other weirdo loners out there too.
>>344698736
I would but it won't work for me. Can't find GPS, tried all the common fixes. I'll either have to wait for an update or miss the train entirely. it's probably for the better im too socially awkward to make good use of it
I dont understand the appeal of it
If I wanted to catch pokemon I'd play the games. And if I wanted to play while walking, I'd just use my phone emulator
>>344722325
You don't, but I'm tired of this Google or Microsoft boogeyman fear-mongering from /g/.
