On other people's IP.
>paying someone to play the game for you
i don't get it
>>344770226
They're not modding the game or using 3rd party apps and this isn't against the terms of use.
I can't see how this could harm Nintendo intellectual property.
>>344770619
To walk for you.
Why would this even remotely be illegal?
>>344770226
Not really. Neither Nintendo nor Gamefreak own a trademark or copyright on the word 'poke' or 'pocket'.
>>344770045
>$4 million in funding
>>344770619
Gotta catch them all.
>professional walkers
>Heh, give us your phone. We'll take care of it for you hehe...
>>344770045
must be satire
>>344770045
sounds like a scam for someone to come pick up your phone and never return it
ITT, ppl that don't get satire
>just give us your Steam account, and we'll play the games for you
>just give us your food, we'll eat it for you
>just give us your girlfriend, and we'll make babies for you
>>344770791
im pretty sure that entire image is satire
>>344770947
>in this thread spoiling tthe fun
The one thread we had about this that had potential and you have to state the obvious.
>>344770045
>Is that even legal?
Pokemon Go experience in a nutshell.
>>344770947
Personally I've reached a point where I am ready to believe shit like this would take off considering the market for these bespoke personal services these days.
>>344770045
It's not in the US. There's a federal law against letting other people walk your phone to catch pokeyman. If you give me a link to their service I'd be happy to alert the authorities.
>>344771324
http://www.pokewalk.com/ here you go
now own them xD
>>344770947
This world is so insane i'm ready to believe it.
>>344771324
Haha, missed the link right in OP's post. Alright I'm calling the Feds right now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention OP.
>>344770791
>A real Impact on the lives of millions
>Do shit "without the pressure of walking"
Yeah, big impact alright. Helping obesity and low motor activity really is of great impact. In a bad way. Motherfuckers.
f you want a Pokemon game that doesn'ylt require you to move your fat ass, go grab the newest fucking Pokemon game off the shelves.
>put our heads together to create something that could have a real impact on the lives of millions. With $4 million dollars in funding from top Silicon Valley venture firms
lolwut
I think this is a ruse
I fucking hate mobile shit. Nothing triggers me more than shit like this.
>>344770045
If they're making money off this, nintendo lawyers will get to them sooner or later.
>>344770947
I mean, fuck, look at this and tell me pokewalk can't be real.

>>344770045
Pretty good.
>>344770045
I don't give a fuck, Living in Houston sucks balls for Pokemon go, literally have to drive everywhere so I just ended up using a gps spoofer.
>>344770045
>giving your unlocked phone to a bunch of strangers
theoretically, what could go wrong?
>>344770045
I don't see why it should be illegal, shitty yes, illegal not. It doesn't really work like Chinese gold farming.
>>344770045
>If your requested distance isn't reached we'll run around the block as fast as we can AND refund your money.
kek
Even if this is a ruse, I bet there's tons of people out there who would willingly pay money to get ahead in a mobile game like fucking Pokemon Go.
I should probably create a trainer program and sell it behind Patreon.

Welcome to the bernstein universe.
We're talking about the universe where obongo uses the same amount from tax money to promote gay marriage laws in africa and U.S plans to arm Al-Qaeda to fight ISIS.
>>344770873
Now I want a marine copypasta edit of this.
>>344770947
I don't even know the line between satire and reality anymore, whatwith a ton of bullshit getting funded and people just being lazy.
>yo anon, I'm here to pick up your phone to catch some pokemon you contacted us about
what do?
>>344770947
We live in an age where China imports fresh air from Canada, anything can be true.
>>344772258
Thanks man, finally I can get that Pikachu inside the ghetto without dying.
>>344772258
yo pass the blunt cuz
>>344770045
>hey bro give this contracted shmuck your phone
>no we're not liable if they steal it because they're a contractor not an employee
>no we can't give you their contact information
Even if your phone isn't stolen all of your data is being duplicated and if you have any CC#'s saved you just bought someone a new TV.
>>344772313
Wait, really?
>>344772898
Nigga you can buy "digital real estate" in Second Life, and people pay for that shit. Shit like that is completely feasible.

Now I want any nigger here to tell me with a straight face this should be taken as satire without a second thought.
>>344770045
So this is just people stealing other people's phones and charging them for it? Genius.
It is like that girl in elementary school with 50 tamagatchi's from the rest of the class feeding them all and taking care of them all over again.

>>344770980
All these exist btw
>>344773415
There actually was that? was she charging? how much?
>>344770791
>imagine a world where you can capture pokemon without needing to travel around
Y...ya mean like 20 years before GO?
>>344770045
How would this possibly be illegal?
>>344770873
My vacations were on Machu Picchu and they had these professional walkers, they were people that lived in the area and you paid them to carry you a few km

like paying someone to play mmo's for you and have a high level character or directly buying one...
