This was national news in New Zealand tonight. And not like "and finally tonight". Like the second story of the bulletin. No joke.

Pokemon craze on the news makes me feel nostalgia as fuck
This arboretum in Dallas is using Go as advertising. Their place has a shit load of spots so they show it in pics along with an invite with free parking and all that shit. Kinda cool.
Every second person I see on the street is on Pokemon Go (I live in New Zealand) I feel like I'm back to being a little kid again with the craze, a lot of businesses/cafes are even advertising as a PokeStop which is cool.
I just remembered this exists. Why did they do this?
>>27076821
Same reason they made Nidoran F and Nidoran M, or Volbeat and Illumise, or Beautifly and Dustox. Just two slightly different versions of the same Pokémon because they wanted to do something a bit different.
Also, Slowking has been used at VGC Worlds three times, and Slowbro has never been used, so Slowking is obviously the best.

>liking slowking over slowbro

I just noticed slowking was added in gen 2, which was when they split special into sp def and sp atk stats. Judging by its stats, they made slowking to show case that special split?
Do you think there is a maximum CP on pokemon go?
Otherwise pokemons from other generations added later will always be a lot weaker than the first gen.
not if you grind hard enough
>>27076444
But what if people with main from first gens also grind as hard?
They will always be ahead
>>27076432
They would likely begin implementing shit like boosted candy drops for new mons for a limited time like how some other phone games give exp boosts to new characters/monsters/etc.
There's always some way to balance shit out.
Idiot, chicken hat, concubine. Stop catching pokemon and marry me already.
>>27076330
The purest.
Fuck off, bimbo. Go remove kebab.
>concubine
Which game should I use for my Nuzlocke run
I am limited to stuff I can emulate
Crystal
I had the most fun doing it and beating Red was incredibly satisfying
think for me /vp/
>>27076132
>Nuzlocke run
What is that?
>Lumiose Badlands
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ARE YOU SHITTING ME.
>Sky battles
I use a load of flying types and I still think this shit is pointless
It's fine if you happen to enter it at one of the times of day where there's no wind, and actually a pretty cool route if you happen to lead with a Ghost type.
But it's literally the worst shit ever if you don't happen to have either of those apply to you.
The two large riding Pokemon routes are pretty terrible too with their awful controls. Skiddo one is great and I wish you could ride one everywhere.

>Sky battles
>Pokemon riding
Literal fucking cancer. If you could ride certain Pokemon in place of your bike whenever you want, that's one thing, that's great, but fuck that motherfucking Rhydon route, Jesus Fucking H. Christ.
Do you guys think all the normies will quit Go when gen 3 mons get added to the game?
They're gonna get bored of it and quit before gen 2 gets added.
I think the interest will have died out by then. But the normies who stuck around will probably be invested enough to tolerate unfamiliar pokemon. Which is probably part of the long term plan.
The playerbase will surely shrink, but those who remain could be acclimated to newer pokemon.
>>27075856
True, I feel they should add all 726 together, so those fucking normies quit playing
Name?
matthew what's yours?
Pokémon name?
>>27075749
Goldeen, by far the most confusing radar sprite I didn't know either until I caught one
Gen 3: Human advancement vs. Preserving nature
Gen 4: Is the human race not progressing and needs a new world?
Gen 5: Is Pokemon training and capturing the right thing to do?
Gen 6: Humanity's potential to create and destroy.
Gen 7: ???
Gen 7: Romance in a Pokemon World
>>27075621
Gen 7: Pokemon Go ends the world.
>>27075621
Get pregnant!
Is anyone over trainer level 14? I wana know the next rewards and when to get ultra/master balls.
I'm about to hit 14. Will report back in the morning when I get 15.
>>27075535
Sageing because there enough fucking Go threads already, you faggot.
I'm 16, no ultra balls yet. I've heard you have to be 20+ for them.
What's up with /vp/ complaining about Pokémon Go? All this talk about normie ruining Pokémon is stupid, why would you hate your favorite franchise making money and getting more popular? Isn't it nice to go back to the day when times were simple? When all you cared about is catching Pokémon and playing with your friends? Stop complaining and find your way back into those good times, this is what Pokémon Go is to me personally.
>Pokemon Go making money
>Somehow this helps gamefreak and in turn us
???
>>27075408
It takes away from discussing practically anything else, and has gotten very old very quickly.
Other than that, I'm glad for this success for Pokémon.
>Go
>making money
Is it? I know it's a fucking phenomenon but you don't really need money to experience it at all.
So, /vp/ i'm getting fucked in the ass by the Elite 4 in Y.
Yeah, I get it easiest pokemon games to date, shut the fuck up.
I think its because im not using the Exp. Share, but I just wanna ask: what can I do?
Pic unrelated
>>27075319
Kill yourself and hope you wont be so shit
>>27075319
You suck man
>>27075319
Grind a little? What are you using?
RIP Pokemon, 1996-2016
They will tire of it within the fortnight
oh no, people are playing a spinoff of one of the most popular gaming franchises of all time
>Being such a lardass fatty autist that people enjoying pokemon go triggers you this hard

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Force people to have a common type shared throughout their team
Very few people (if any) in the canon series can become skilled with training more than one type of Pokemon.
Forcing people to stick to one will create more diverse team and allow people to truly express themselves.
Next gen, instead of (Water, Fire, Grass) they should have a starter of EVERY time. I truly think this is the step for the next generation of Pokemon.
What do you think?
>>27075206
Would be a fun mode, if they decide to actually evolve the series and do something neat like adding different types of runs
force people to stick to one type?
it could work as a battle type, but then it would all rely on who was lucky enough to chose the type with advantage, so it would need some work
If you mean as in-game play, then no! that's a terrible idea
If you want to do that, then do it. No need to force other people to. They can 'truly express themselves' more easily using whatever pokemon they want to. I'm playing through white 2 with a bug team on challenge mode, just about to take on the water gym. The first couple were a little harder than usual but by the time I got to the flying gym the type disadvantage didn't matter despite being 4-5 levels below her best pokemon.
