It just seems so autistic to me and doesn't even look that fun. Just throw a random Pokémon somewhere and catch it like the Nintedrone you are.

Hey guys, how does gym prestige work? I had -1000 when I lost at a gym then had -2000 when I won at another
qtf
Don't worry when everyone realizes pokemon aren't as unique to location as they think and there is no battle mode and its not funny to take pictures of geodude with your shit anymore it'll go away.
I told everyone this would be exactly what it was, but there were countless on this board who claimed with was going to be close to an actual pokemon experience.
>>344189713
It literally just randomly spawns any Pokémon anywhere and you just catch it. What's the fucking fun in that.
>>344188465
eh it's fun-ish. Find a spot with a pokemon, catch it. I haven't tried gyms yet. One close by that i might try once i level up my yugimons.
>>344189010
i thought all of /v/ said this wasn't going to happen?
>>344189174
yeah there is a bit of autism about it that's for sure. walking around aimlessly looking at your phone getting strange looks at others driving around.
>>344189713
YOU told everyone? well fuck guys pack it up, this guy has it under wraps.
>>344189713

Once they enable trading you can engage into pokemon RMT, and pretty much make a living by trainin and capturing rare pokemons around the world, or even trade them for sexual favors from qt HS girls.

t. neckbeard that didn't play Pokemon when they were kids and dreamt about going on a adventure in real life capturing pokeymans.
Don't pay attention to us and play your mature games for mature gamers like yourselves.
Because it's Pokemon. There's something intrinsically fun about going out into the real world and catching Pokemon. If it were an original game it wouldn't have near enough features to get a playerbase.
>>344190381
which makes it more valuable...
You idiots who come into this threads to complain about things you don't understand keep confusing me, what's so fun abotu shitting on everything when you don't even care about it enough to research.

Ingress is 3 year old, anon.
A few of my "normie" co-workers have already tried it. People who go more than 4 places on a weekly basis could probably get some entertainment from it.
>>344188465
The only people who enjoy it are normies. This isn't Pokemon, it's a cheap Ingress clone.
>>344188565
nintendo had little involvement with this game. it was all niantic and pokemon company

wa state here. i've been able to play it since yesterday. just waiting for the servers to stop being jumbled. i kept spamming it and got on a few times earlier.
>>344194263
/vp/ is where we sent all the furries and total minmax spergs who actually use Smogon. No one likes them, they're furfags, we keep them in /vp/ so normal humans can have a nice time without them. Never send a person to /vp/, because /vp/ is a prison.
>>344193781
I had some issues, too, on the East coast of the US. Heard people talking about the iOS and Android versions being up, but could never find them. I ended up grabbing an APK when the game first rolled out, and the app only showed up in my app store this morning.
If you have Android, I'd just grab the APK now, then uninstall it in favor of the app store version when you can get it so you can get automatic updates.

Its not good and people will soon realize the only way to "win" is to spend money building super OP pokemon to take over gyms.
anyone else getting this
AHAHA I LOVE BEING IN CANADA HAHA WOOO
Server is down for me. F you guys, thinking youre better than me, stealing my gyms. Ra-ra-ra-roof RA-ROOUF ROOUF ROOUF ROOUF!
>>344195669
What is this about "picking"? I was just forced to catch a Bulbasaur.
Literally nintenbabby Ingress.
>>344195789
Yes.
Game seems to be up for 10 minutes and then down for an hour. Been doing it all day today and yesterday.
>>344195920
You could choose the one you start with in Go by tapping it instead of the other two, senpai.
what are the battles like?
it there any amount of actual pokemon mechanics or is it a copy of Ingress "mash the attack button"?
>>344190256
you're pretty pathetic to give this much of a fuck what people do with their time. yet you are here wasting time on 4chins. bro. eat shit
>>344195769
You can't even buy anything to power up pokemon in the shop.
Maybe eggs and incubators to hatch better pokemon but I've gotten plenty of those from stops.
>>344191324
>projecting
lol all you are doing. you're a fucking retard anon
>>344196130
Incense.
>>344196092
Mash attack button. You can swipe to dodge but it is dodgy on if it works or not. You can long press to use a move when your blue bar fills up, but the enemy is normally dead by then.
>>344190015
The problem with gyms if that you have to stay in range while you fight, so I have to drive across town to the gym, park like a stalker, sit in my car for 15 minutes, and fight. Lame as fuck.
>>344195132

Game is kinda boring so far. There are no gyms close by. Might be better if the servers were not down all the time.
the idea sounds pretty cool but it looks like you just tap on pokemon and it kept losing signal and freezing when I tried it

WHAT TEAM ARE YOU /v/
I can't do it. This is not for me. I live in a shitty neighborhood in Philly and just took a 10 minute walk around.
Not only did I just feel subconscious about playing a dumb game in public, I walked past over a dozen niggers that gave me a mean look.
When I walked past a bunch of kids they said somebody was mugged there yesterday (alley feet from where I was).
I'm kinda tall, 6', but the only way I feel safe is by standing tall with my chest puffed out and being very alert of my surrounding and literally ready to defend my life.
I felt so vulnerable and in danger looking at my phone. All of that is made worse with my social anxiety too.
Fuck this shit, uninstalled.

>>344197556
cool blog post m8
It's no secret that I'm a loner. I tell people this up front when they meet me, not to expect things. (By meet, I normally mean online, safely behind my PC)
Over the years my lonerism has gotten worse and worse. With that, I'm sure my gloomy nature is more than just that, but I haven't seen a doctor so I won't say I have anything wrong with me.
As to not make this a dreadfully long post, I'll sum up that I went from outgoing, semi-fit to not caring what I eat, wear, look like (For the most part). I stopped being excited for anything that was outside the borders of my home. That is, until I found out about Pokemon Go.
I've recently downloaded it and the first few hours, I sat there, staring at my character and then glancing outside. Wanting to, but afraid to actually go. Today, I went. And I didn't plan on going very far, there was a pokestop closeby and I thought that'd be a good start.
It felt so liberating to walk there, with a sense of purpose I've not felt in 10 years. (That's how long I've been sitting at home) I kept walking and went to two more pokestops. I only caught two pokemon but I loved every second of it. I smiled the entire way that I thought I'd share that with a bunch of people that I don't know.
Maybe, perhaps, a few of you are also excited but afraid. Hopefully, you'll take the same step I did. I promise you won't regret it. (Unless you don't look left 'n right before crossing with your phone infront of your face.)
What can I do when I have multiple pokemon of same type? Any option to feed them to stronger ones or anything?
Fucking Drowzees, I have like 8 of them right now

Then when you have enough Drowzee candies, evolve that nigga into a Hypno. Goodluck fellow trainer.
>>344192786
The only Pokestop near me is a fucking model train place
When does it release in europa? and does the pokemon spawn depending on climate? biome? like ice in snowy areas of the world and so on?
>>344198079
Oh shit, thanks anon. I tried transferring once but something went wrong as I did it so I thought it was just useless.

It's the worlds Largest O model Train.
It's closed at this time
Also it turns out when I fucking walked around my neighborhood the servers were down. Fucking kill me
Got bored. It is a catching pokemon simulator with no fucking depth. Uninstalled after 2 hours. The only thing I actually enjoyed is that it doesn't seem to heavy on pay to win/do things. Maybe down the line it will change, but it is nice of Nintendo nonetheless.
So, Nintendo thought letting this game work on public roads was a good idea because...?
>>344197235
Yes. They're still down.
So... this has no normal battle system like the real games right?
So, what the fuck is this game?
t. guy who hasn't played Pokemon in 10+ years
Why the hell do I have to sign in every goddamn time I launch the app. Surely this is something that should've been weeded out in beta, right?

I suppose they just didnt expect as many people playing the game. Shit is down more than it's up but I still have fun.
>>344198942
Ever heard of Ingress? Basically same but you can catch pokemon in random places.
>>344198969
Because the servers are fucked. If they're actually up you'll automatically log in.
>>344198942
You walk around outside looking for pokemans to catch on the map and visit pokestops for items and exp, and them you take control of gyms by leaving you mans there to take over them by battling whatever was already there.
It's Nintendo related so it's going to be a hit no matter what on /v/.
So the rumbling leaves indicate a pokemon being there or what?
Because today I literally stood in some spots like that and nothing appeared.

Yellow is taking over west coast. Yellow is officially the normal fag faction. The amount of people who don't play games that are joining up yellow is astronomical. It's not a Reddit team. It's a literal normie team

It's a nice throwback to pokèmon and your childhood, there's a reason they decided to only put genwun and normies won't stop talking about it non-stop.
Seriously even in the fucking library today I've heard the damn app because someone forgot to turn off the phone.
Also it's fun to walk randomly and find stuff or going for a walk and instead of doing a random pattern you follow pokéspots.
The app itself is wonky garbage, but that doesn't stop people from playing it nonstop apparently.

Man do whatever the fuck you want to do but I stopped playing so I wouldn't have to pick a team yet
I want to pick yellow because they're the majority but I want to wait it out and see what happens. Last time I picked red team on cosmic break with /v/ and /m/, we all got steam rolled by /a/ who picked the blue team
I'm not making that mistake again so I'll wait it out

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
As a huge lifelong pokemon fan, and after spending a couple of days playing around with Pokemon Go, I have to say that quite frankly it's just a bad game.
It's sluggish and riddled with bugs. The app freezes up or gets stuck loading between screens often which forces me to manually stop the app and restart it.
The servers are constantly bogged down which makes the game experience terrible or even makes it so that you can't even play randomly.
There is almost a complete lack of a tutorial or explanation of game mechanics.
I had to google a lot about this game before I actually understood how things like Poke Stops and Gyms worked, and exactly how you can tell what pokemon are in a given area/ how likely they are to be caught.
In terms of a real pokemon experience, honestly the only way this is even a pokemon game at all is because it displays them in AR mode, which is cool at least at first, but the AR is not really that good. Half the time the pokemon will appear to be incredibly small/ drift out of frame when you move around, or appear to be hovering midair.
There are no trainer battles. No way to challenge your friends. The only battles are simplified real-time swipe/ tap fests at gyms. You don't even have to battle wild pokemon to weaken them before capture. You literally just flick the screen to toss a pokeball at it and it is captured. There is no challenge except for the fact that you phyisically have to visit different locations to catch different types of pokemon.
And the distribution of pokemon is still something I don't understand. For instance I caught a magikarp that appeared while I was sitting in my office earlier today. My workplace is nowhere near a body of water.
There is no way to trade pokemon with other players either. So unless you're planning on doing some traveling there is literally no way most people will be able to catch em all.
This game is just a low-effort pokemon themed re-skin of Ingress.

>pokestops give 2-3 pokeballs per spin
how are you even supposed to play this game
I'm just trying to work and this fucker pops up
>>344205154
It uses location data from Ingress, and people have been desperately tagging and uploading everything even remotely unique that will qualify as a location in order to win.
>>344190381
No, that makes it good.
For example if you want a Lapras you have to go to some island like the Bahamas

Does anyone know if there are shinies in the game? Or if they'll implement them in the future? I know the game just came out, but shiny hunting is going to be so much harder and they're going to be so much rarer than before.
I know you fuckers are jealous, found her while at a stoplight

I see Pokefags are already defending this poor excuse of a pokemon game
how competitive and personal are the pokemon gym things and the team shit? I never played ingress but I remember reading people being stalked and confrontational in real life because of that game
>>344201845
This. First day the app was out in aussie we voted blue
Niantic better give out packs of incense. Servers went down again with 12 minutes left on mine.
Met two people confirmed playing it and saw a bunch of people with phones and backpacks out. One of the guys was on Valor too so we worked to take all 3 gyms on the main street. And then the servers went down just as we found a Magikarp.I got zero street passes.
>>344206642
>starts with /v/
>color of rage
>power through strength
It's perfect. The only reason you chose Blue was to be counterculture that in 1996 Red was for future normalfags.
>Have gone into town at 11:30 at night as server seems more stable, with the aim of capturing all 3 gyms on my high street.
>Get first one.
>Servers go down.
>Am sat on park bench by second gym. Waiting for server.
>Will be midnight soon. London.

I'm scared anon.
I want these gyms, but I also don't wanna get shanked.
