Mad?

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. inb4 fucking normie

Normie retards (trend following brain dead faggots)

It's kinda like how 10~ years ago you'd hop on runescape after school and play with your friends, trying to achieve the highest level of w/e you were training.

Only this time it's outside, with a way bigger playerbase and with something a gigantic group of people have good memories from (pokemon).

>>695354873
Im playing because theres a bunch of middle aged women playing. Pretty fun game, and great icebreaker in social settings.

It's completely normal that people jump on the hype train and do shit just because it's trendy and cool. I wouldn't really mind if I weren't surrounded everywhere by the Pokémon Go memes or some other shit that makes me wanna tear out me eyes. It's just overhyped

I can't wait Til all the fucking casuals stop playing.

>>695354873
Hmm so its a game making people go out and walk, visit establishments which help with businesses, and meeting new people with same interests. Whereas most games people sit on their asses and get fat. This game is getting neckbeards out of there basements, helping them lose weight, and make new friends... Don't really see how its a bad thing.

>>695354873
The appeal is that fgts who grew up with pokemanz now get to hunt for them irl. Nvm that they are all 4ever alone 30 yos nao and that it haz no innovative gameplay.

This. Our generation lacks a draft/"real" war/something substantial worth fighting for and focusing on. So we have created a bunch of man-children autists and hipsters.

Also I have a theory that we live in an age of having too much variety and it allows for people to become expectant of having things done to their specifications, instead of just learning how to cope with putting up with bullshit. This makes us soft as fuck.

FAGGOT WHO NEVER KNEW POKÉMON

>>695354873
if you seriously need to ask you will never know. Dont worry about a game thats not for you

It is very strange. I went out for a walk withy friend at around midnight last night on the beach and neither me or her play the game. The amount of people playing it there was unreal. Even the most normie looking chads were all in a group with their phones out looking for magikarp or some fucking shit.
I remember when they first announced it and I thought it was a dumb idea no one would buy in to apart from autists wandering the streets at night, but now I feel like I'm the minority

OP is mad he doesn't have a career/decent job/wife/house and is not enjoying Pokemon GO, which leaves him on /b/

Yeah, you are stuck here my friend.

That isn't the game's problem. It warns you to be aware of your surroundings.
Retards will be retards.

>>695354873
Why do you/should you even care? I dont play it and never will but i dont give a shit if other people do. If other people are having fun with it then good for them, it has nothing to do with you, or is that the problem that you are having? It seems to be pretty damn popular so people must be getting some kind of enjoyment out of it which is great, that is what entertainment is for.

I am getting sick of people complaining about this game non stop, no one is forcing you to play the game and it is not affecting your life so who the fuck cares. Get over yourself.

It's a bit of fun.
I was never into Pokemon as a kid so there's no nostalgia, just some fun when you're out somewhere.
I wish there was something similar and this popular that wasn't about something as shit as Pokemon. A bit more grown up maybe.

But everyone around it is super nice, probably because there's embarrassment involved, bringing out the humility in people.

this is far as i read - the rest of your post and the rest of your thread are bullshit, i don't care about that nonsense

here's the appeal of pokemon go:

it's numbers on your phone, and the numbers go up if you look at your phone more often

you didn't get upset about candy crush or clash of clans, so why the fuck could you possibly care about a game that wants you to get out and walk around a bit?

>>695361240
>false sense of accomplishment
>waste of time

Personally I don't play pokemon go but how the fuck is gaming a waste of time? It's fun. It's used to pass time. You'd rather sit on your ass and be bored? Also it's fun to be good at a game, the accomplishment doesn't have to be something awesome.

But my job allows that, I walk around all fuckin day for work AND I'm not fixated on my phone like a retard, so I can actually take in the sights & surroundings instead of creaming myself over seeing the world through my smartphone with some animated characters.

im an electrician. its only a matter of time until someone walks straight into an open live switchboard and gets hooked up on the busbars.

people who walk around staring at their phone are the bane of humanity. whatever it is they are staring at cant be more important than the ladder they are about to walk into, or the guy perched on it balancing a 20kg light fitting.

As somebody who loved the shit out of Pokemon growing up, I actually want to be able to get into it and love it as much as everyone else seems to, but it seems kinda crap. When I heard how it works, I was confused about why it's so different from how the actual Pokemon games work, then a friend explained that it's just a clone of a different game made by the same company with a Pokemon skin slapped on top for them nostalgia bux.

I mean seriously, no turn-based combat? No player vs player battles? Just you throwing pokeballs at Pokemon without battling or weakening them first and then leaving your Pokemon at "gyms" to defend points? That ain't Pokemon.

>>695363550
Okay so you don't like it? Then don't play it. Why does other people having fun frustrate you so much?

>>695354873
When I no longer can find fun in ridiculous and "childish" things I really don't see the point of existence.
If you're so adult you feel the need to mock others for actually finding joy in simple things, you must truly be ruined inside.

Life is pointless, it's all fleeting and useless. Someday you'll die, your children will die, the earth will die and the universe will die. Nothing you ever do makes any difference to anything, ever.
The only thing that matters is finding your own source of joy, whether that be cooking, kids or pokemon go.

At the moment I enjoy Pokemon Go, it's fun, nostalgic, I can play it with my daughter and it gives me something to do in downtime on long shifts. I'm fucking 34 and I'd hopefully still do the same if I was 64.

Safari Zone at least adds the slight complexity of throwing rocks to weaken, but with the chance of scaring them off and using bait to make them more complacent. Isn't Pokemon Go literally just throwing pokeballs and nothing else?

apart from the mee-too sheeple attraction, its basically a pretty shit game.

True pokemon fans won't be playing Pokemon Go, here's why:
>Sun and Moon is out soon
>Pokemon Go is not Pokemon
>No trading, no PvP
>"muh updates" not enough
>Handheld games still have immersive solo play, as well as WiFi trading and battling
>Literally no fucking reason whatsoever to switch to Go if you're already playing the handhelds
>Everyone playing it atm is just swept up in a fad
>These same faggots would have called you a faggot for playing pokemon 2 months ago
>Not true Pokemon Masters
>Pic related, it's me

>>695365983
Rocks are not in it
But Bait is

One does have to consider that when grown men are playing Pokemon go, it's not actually the Pokemon that they are looking to catch.....

“… Your father, for instance, don’t you think he would have done three times as much work if it had not been for your—what shall I say—’bringing up’?”
“He liked it—time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”
“Oh, but it was in his case—wasted for him and for many lovers of art.”

I wonder how you waste your time? Not really, I couldn't care less.

>>695366260
Oh well that's something then. I guess rocks would have upset PETA faggots.

OP. 35yr old guy here. I don't play games and I was old enough to miss all the Pokemon shit of years past. I downloaded this shit on Saturday night to see wtf all these weaboo/Chinese faggots were creaming themselves over and holy fuck it's been like crack. I lost my gf in the street because I was too busy catching shit, and then when she said goodbye I apparently failed to notice her leave because I was "staring at my fucking phone". I then got my ass out of the comfy-ass hotel bed the next morning to go catch more Pokemon like a Chris chan pumped full of vaccines. I calculated (by my egg-hatching skills) that I walked between 13 and 16km that day.

I get my ass out of the office after eating lunch and walk up to the park (where there's often a lure or two) to chuck more pokeballs and survey the other autists. I just hope they don't judge me as harshly as I judge those sad, no-life-having, Pokemon chasing faggots. Normally I would have browsed the Internet for the rest of my lunch hour and then had a couple quick games of ping pong

I take the long way when walking and no longer swear like a homeless man with tourettes if I miss the bus or have to wait in line for something.

My dog is fucking loving the long walks when I get home.

Mate, I have gone full blown autist over this shit and don't give two fucks. It doesn't cost me shit, I spend less time and money at the pub and I'm getting fit. I can live with the fact it's because of a stupid fucking game.

Try it. It'll get you.

>>695365752
probably because she looks like she actually fits the era of the car. the slice of cheese on her head also made me kek.

>>695365983
The world is the safari zone, yes.
But you don't get to use rocks, have an unlimited amount of steps, and you have to go out of your house and inevitably meet up with other people playing the game.

This has been what Nintendo has been trying to make people do with this franchise for decades. The game has become an icebreaker for people leaving their homes after work to head down to the local lure. Around where I live people set up around 2-4 lure modules at some pokéstops close to each other. On average 5-10 people will show up, stand around and start making small talk while glancing at their phones every so often.

Times are hard
Not our fault they're running out of ideas for new pokemon
The remakes (fire red, leaf green, heart gold soul silver) were god tier though
You can still assemble of team of early generation pokemon though, though that won't save you from the hippie liberal storylines they've been putting out. Humans be like PETA for these pokemon. It was cool when Mewtwo stood up for himself in the original movie, he was a legit badass, can't deny that, but this shit is mildly sickening.

>>695365484
Yes. We weren't friends. On a related note, it may be that this was self contained, and this was one place where popular kids played so they all did.

Like seriously I stayed in band cause I love cock.

i just wish this came out when i still was a child

Out of curiosity though, how many people here play the handhelds AND play pokemon go? Who now plays pokemon go that never touched the handhelds?

i hate how they (niantic) managed combat and evolving, stat development is shit, too. teaching moves and the use of held irems is not a thing either; apart from the walking around 'immersive' gameplay, it's got nothing to do with pokemon whatsoever. you could replace the pokemon with rocks, which you can collect in the 'real world' without your phone anyway.

>>695367755
Yes those were both me.

I thought it was just me and you until the other guy pointed out how infertile you are.

>>695354873

>>695367676
wow infertility seems like a big deal to you, I don't care about that, I don't want to have kids anyway. sugar tastes good, no complaints there, I want enjoy life so why not enjoy things that taste good. as for nutritional value, it does have caffeine which is actually good for you, it also helps you be more alert instead of falling asleep in your chair for example.

Yet you ask why its so popular? I ask this: why are you such an idiot op?

Still, I doubt the fad will last long. I give it two months until the playerbase is at least halved. Another few months and it will be just people who legitimately like pokemon games and the no life losers who have built the strongest accounts.

>>695366203

>>695367858
I didn't really understand the first two thirds of that but the last bit is probably true. If you can make collecting rocks just as fun you should do it and make a fortune.

I never knew about augmented reality games before (I knew OF them but was never interested) but this has been right up my alley. I could never stand fucking Pokemon and anime and whatnot, so for a game about fucking Pokemon to hook me like it has they've done an impressive job.

Yet there the fuck they are, playing [anything] 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 [game] on your fucking smartphone. You clap like a fucking imbecile every time you [do] a fucking [thing in game] 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 [game].

If you expected any different you are just a child. Nintendo would never allow a third party to release a "true" pokemon experience that people can enjoy without buying into one of their consoles. They just allowed them to use enough of the pokemon brand to themse the game after it and get people talking about pokemon again. I bet thanks to this game sun and moon sell better then any pokemon game from the last decade. That was Nintendo's goal here. To get more people talking about pokemon. For their sake. Not niantic's. Now if Nintendo ever decides to enter the phone market you might see a true pokemon ar game like what you were expecting, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

actually, gen 4 is the best gen. After that it all went to shit. Previous were good, but separating physical and special attacks was a great move. The first one was where the hype was greatest, but you still have FireRed/LeafGreen which included enough pokemon to make plenty of teams without having too many of them, and you still get to experience gen 1.

there is combat in gyms and you can evolve or power up a pokemon by catching the same over and over and 'dust/candy' them like in hearthstone to use the dust/candy to power them up/evolve them.
yeah, it's not really pokémon but thats how the game works.
