Alright you fucking faggots, I need legitimate answers from shitposters here.

What the appeal of this pokemon go thing? I'm seeing middle-aged women walking around playing it without a clue what the fuck they're doing. These are the types of bitches who need help locating their resume in My Documents and attaching it to an e-mail message.

Yet there the fuck they are, playing pokemon go at the grocery store like a fucking seven-year-old.

What pisses me off more is the twenty-somethings that are playing this (majority of which are men). What the fuck is your deal? This is literally your existence. Right now. You're playing with virtual pets on your fucking smartphone. You clap like a fucking imbecile every time you catch a fucking Pidgey or some shit. I'd say kill yourself, but it's literally starting to interest me what the fuck is wrong with you people.

/b/, please explain to me the sensation of pokemon go. Why the fuck are the future molecular biologists, physicists, doctors, lawyers, etc. being replaced by faggots trying to "catch them all"? This is worse than my little pony.

It's not "hard to understand" the game. What's "hard to understand" is the interest in that activity. No wonder feminism is so prevalent, we're just letting it happen.

It's just a social media tool like Facebook where you interact with fake creatures on a screen. I get that. That's not hard to understand. I'll say it again, because you missed my point, is WHY DO YOU LIKE IT? Is there no such thing as social morality anymore? If you play this and honestly deep down enjoy playing it, you require mental examination.

I think the problem with you faggots is that you have that embryonic thing going on. Where you crave to be back in your mother's womb so you cling to childhood like it's some sort of safety hinge. I believe it's called, "failure to launch" but go ahead and correct me if I'm wrong.

Im 26 and honestly its just living out the childhood dream.

When pokemon came out it was and still is the best thing ever. I lived and breathed it. Once they started coming out with those new gen pokemon is when i stopped following. I still was a fan of the original 150 though...

I used to fantasize how awesome it would be if pokemon were real and what being a pokemon trainer would be like.

It just so happens that finally in 2016 i would be able to live that dream.
Obviously yes we know its not real but its the closest we can get.
It makes me feel like a kid again. Being an adult fucking sucks....my golden years were my pokemon years so of course i want to relive it.
>>
>>695329711
Awright, I don't give a fuck if you're serious or not, so I'll give it as a concise of a TL;DT as I can.

Nintendo nostalgia bait at its best, really.

Pokemon GO appeals to both people who played the original games and those who remember the stuff from the TV show, since they can be separate entities entirely.

The entire draw of either was the ability to throw a fucking pokeball and catch something that you had to go and find- they're not supposed to be just absolutely fucking everywhere (not the good ones at least).

Giving people the actual ability to go out, see something outside, and catch it is enticing for everyone who was ever interested in the series.

No one's giving up their careers for this shit, it's still a fucking game. People aren't dropping out of schools to play Pokemon like they are for other big "eSports."

If you were never into pokemon as a kid, I'd skip it, unless you have a group of friends who're playing. Then, just go out and have fun with them. Or not. Because spoiler alert, it doesn't fucking matter.

I went outside yesterday to play at a lure spot (a pokestop where someone put an item to attract pokemon) And made like five new buds. We went to the bar afterwards and now i've got them on FB and on my phone.

Other than that, there are probably people like me that need a reason to go outside for a bit. When its nice weather etc im still hesitant often because i feel as if its a worse way to spend the time rather than doing something fun on my pc.
Now theres somewhat of a bigger appeal to go outside. Rewards are key to a lot of people to make them do anything. Just see it as a good thing.

Why do you like coming here? This is just a less interactive, less personal social media outlet.

I think that a lot of the generation that never played Pokemon that is playing Go is just hypewagoners; they see memes and publicity all over for it, think, "Hey, I like Candy Crush and Farmville and am becoming more and more irrelevant with each year I age; why the fuck not try and fit in?" It'll fizzle out for them more than likely after a bit.

As for me and my dudes, we just play because we all enjoy the sort of luck based collection system structured around something nostalgic. Of course, the only reason we feel that way is because we play legit video games where getting rare shit gets you stoked too, so getting rare Pokenigs is enjoyable if you enjoy the game already.

part of the appeal is that us twenty and thirty somethings grew up with pokemon, i'm 33 and when i had my first job when I was like 16, my first paycheck i bought a gameboy color and pokemon red. I think part of it is nostalgia, part hype, and part curiosity. All in all, it's not really that bad a game, not that good either considering the only battles you get to do are at gyms, no peer to peer friendly battles yet. But hey, consider this, at least it's getting a lot of those fatass neckbeards out of the basement to walk around and work off some of that lard while they're trying to catch pokemon. Well, at least the ones who don't use a rooted BLUestacks and fake GPS to play it on their pc. ALso, please excuse the problems with capitalization in my post, my shift key is sticky because my wife spilled soda on it last time she used my computer so it's kinda wonky.

Since the game has come out I've walked an average of 9.6miles a day. I get out and walk with friends for hours a day rather than just sitting on my ass playing video games after work. Its something fun that everyone I know is into that costs basically nothing.
>>
>>695329711
Obvious b8, but ill bite for those who actually dislike the game or dont understand why normies are playing it


It's a fun thing to do with friends, which many of you do not have. It doesn't take skill to play it, everyone is (for the most part) given the same opportunity as others. The fact that some are more rare than others gives you a sense of accomplishment. Being put in teams will obviously fuel rivalries between friends, and this will make you want to do better than them in it.

Then there's the fucking weeaboo neckbeards who just play anything that's Pokemon related, but fuck it, to each their own.

hey OP I think it's mainly because the concept of augmented reality is really cool and appealing to people. moving around on a map that accurately represents your location with GPS and then having a little create appear in your world by using your phone's camera is just pretty neat. I only played for one day to check it out, but I admit seeing a little pokemon on the street and tossing pokeballs at it was pretty exciting at first. this is the first mainstream execution of something like this.

also people are naturally competitive and increasingly materialistic, so playing against your buddies and catching more pokemon than your friends is fun for people.

Actual reason for appeal? It's p much a real world pokemon mmorpg that's p much accesible to anyone in a first world country. Interactivity is what most people wanted from a pokemon game the answer to that plesd is implement it in reality. It not just a character in a game anymore interacting with the in game world, (gonna sound real cliche and cheesy) it's you interacting with the real world. That's why it's probably doing so well. If you're mad about a lot of people liking something you don't it'll blow over soon with all the bandwagon losers that haven't even heard of pokemon before this hopping off.

27 m here

it has the same appeal as other games which is to beat the shit out of other people in a virtual setting. the only difference is you actually HAVE to go out to level up.

on top of that, literally all my friends are playing. these are people I haven't seen in 4 or 5 years that I've seen every day for the past week. it's amazing. even this super cute girl from back in the day is talking to me again and it's giving me something to look forward to.

The scary thing is that if it keeps its popularity for a few months and isnt broken to hell and back by then some of those fat neckbeards might become something resembling human again.

Its the nostalgia, thinking back about the old gameboy pokemon games, building a collection, the excitement of exploring and finding new things with friends, taking nice walks on sunny days, meeting new people, finding new places, getting out of the house and getting fresh air, having fun. Shit you wouldn't understand because you're a twelve year old shit poster who's mad because he doesn't even have a phone to play Pokemon GO.

I played it for about 4 days. Then I realized that there was absolutely NO depth or reason to play other than dominating a gym temporarily and collecting virtual creatures.

I go outside anyway so that old excuse didn't wash- but perhaps for some people it helps with that. When it comes to the social argument, this game is the least social thing in years. There is no friending option or chat and you have to assume who is playing pokemon go, which ends up making you look stupid 9/10 times.

Add to that the only interaction the game gives is an acknowledgement other people are playing, I haven't heard of any actual friendships coming out of this.

It's basically a dumb normie fad and the worst pokemon game ever, and I don;t even care about pokemon.

Not really, since this game has the least depth of any I've come across, which is why stupid 40 year old women can learn to play it. And most games, other than MMOs, don't consume someones life to this extent, it should be a past-time in free time.

If you need this game to go outside or meet people, you are pretty sad. And if you go outside anyway, this game is a stupid distraction from those around you when you could just be enjoying the day.

Only someone who has never had friends thinks you can just "go out" and you will magically get swept away on an adventure. Might I remind you that we are an advanced species of primate and going out usually consists of trying to fuck or eating food. So, since you can't do both of those things constantly, having a reason to go out for extended periods is nice. I wouldn't expect a faggot 4chan contrarian to understand anything about socializing or the real world.

The game might not be a AAA title, It might not require any skill what so ever.

It might just be a GeoCaching game with a pokemon skin.

It might just have awful balance mechanics, alongside a shit meta and a lot of grinding.

I grew up in the nineties, and wasn't a total social outcast by then. Biggest tool I had to connect with others was pokemon, so I made it my business to know as much as possible. I wanted to be the kid that others would come to to sort out disputes over who would win, which was the best starter, etc. Obviously it backfired on me in a major fucking way as it revealed me for the autist that I am, and only helped to further my social isolation. Skip forward to the present day, be chronically depressed, have no job, and have a free to play game that gets your sorry ass outside for a few hours a day. Find that people are also playing it. Have two complete strangers turn to you and ask your opinion on starters. Feel your inner child stir inside you, weeping tears of joy. Enjoy a two hour conversation and finally, FINALLY, make some friends because of your knowledge of pokemon.

That's fucking why. Now quit shitting on my happiness you cunt.

I mean that usually people are not truly 'enjoying' the game, it is pretty much a distraction. If you are already out doing something with friends, you would have more fun focusing on that then being glued to a fucking smartphone screen.

This game brings some people out, yes, but for people go already go out, it just means they are glued to a screen for even longer in the day, and you don't live in the moment.

It's like those people constantly on the phone when out with mates, it ruins the day for them and their friends.

It is subjective, yes, but my point stands that most peoples consensus would previously be that spending all day on a smartphone is a trait of a boring person.

Fine, have fun with it, but stop rubbing that shit in my face. It's just so boring and over-saturated at this point.
>>
>>695329711
Eh... I know its hard for people like you not to be ignorant but just try and examine some of the things that you do that are a waste of time but entertain you.. Like do you watch tv, shitpost on the interwebs, surf /b/ maybe? Are you just constantly working or doing "adult things" and literally have 0 time for nonsense.. I'm 22 and I have a job and go to school and all that crap and I still play it on my free time because I played it as a child and its fun for me, my girlfriend, my family and friends to have something to do together. Plus I really like walking I work on computers all day so stretching my legs and moving about outside is therapeutic. I get that you probably think that the whole virtual monster thing is stupid and lame but are you sure ur not just being a bigot about the thing that you like? It's like when a little kid likes very particular trends and gets pissed off that they can't understand why other kids like different trends so they talk shit on each other. Everything is stupid and lame and we are all just kids on the inside its all about what you think of yourself. So if an adult wants to catch pokemon on their free time you really can't talk too much shit about it without being an ego-centeric dickhead. Don't act like your shit doesn't smell. You don't have to get it.

I suppose. It's like last year with MUH STARWARS, which will probably be stupidly hyped with 100 plus trailers soon.

Honestly if the game was truly social, I'd play it, but you basically see people walking around looking at screens and occasionally grunting at others playing the game.

Kinda depressing really.

"It's mostly because you're really trying to use punctuation, I think the numbered thing was pretty funny too if I'm honest."

This sentence you wrote is perfect example of ironic because after the word punctuation you are suppose to use a period. So It is pretty hilarious how that applies to you.

Also let us discuss how you find the numbering funny when you are doing the same thing when you space each sentence. You are just not numbering them. So again pretty ironic on how you keep trying to make fun of me for doing the exact same thing.

It find it funny how I picture you face rolling the keyboard because you are an old fat fuck who probably failed every English class he has ever taken.

Your last sentence was so weak that I am not sure if it is an insult or you are admitting that you are a pedophile?

This response is so long you are probably about to bitch that I should of numbered each different point, but seeing as how you lack any proper incoherent logical thought it decided to not number any of this.

Also, that is the proper way of using the word "incoherent".

P.S. you probably at this point want to point out how long it took me to reply, but I came up with all this in an estimated time frame of 2-3 second; however, seeing as my typing speed is 93wpm it takes a minute or two to type it all out.

It is a minor annoyance, that is all, and I'd rather avoid it- is it not better to vent on here than annoy people talking about it to my friends?
