So this is coming out soon, will it actually catchon because it's fucking hideous
Yes, because Nintendo fans are shameless goyim who will buy whatever shit gets dropped on their plates
>>345050078
What does it do
>>345050078
I give it 2 weeks and there is an app that does the exact same thing for smart watches.
>>345050342
>>345050342
Vibrates when you're close to the Pokes. So you don't have to stare at your phone and track them.
>>345050342
It Dougs.
I told myself I'd buy one if they were less than $10.
Turns out they're trying to charge $35 for these things.
>>345050078
I like the idea so I can save my phone's screen, but jesus they really need to fix their shit before pushing this out; reopening the app is just part of playing at this point
>>345050467
You can't just put your phone into sleep mode while the app is open and have the phone itself vibrate?
>>345050492
That's pretty expensive considering the actual app it goes with is free. I doubt many people will buy one.
>>345050342
It unlocks background functionality for your phone.
>>345050467
WHY DOESN'T THE PHONE JUST VIBRATE WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE TO POKEMON?
Did they seriously NOT include that so they could sell this?
>>345050342
vibrates when theres something nearby you can catch or pick up. you press the button and it picks up said item or pokemon and you keep going, basically removes the reason to stand around like a retard with your phone in hand.
>>345050198
this game has nothing to do with nintendo. it's a project by the pokemon company and niantic. possibly with gamefreak advising.
please educate yourself before you shitpost.
they're literally 100% sold out online and in stores
so yes, it will catch on. it already has.
>>345050078
I'm just gonna hide it in my pocket
>>345050587
>I doubt many people will buy one.
>preorders sold out instantly
>people are actually buying out the preorders on ebay for $100+
dont underestimate the power of nintendofags.
>>345050605
It does. The problem is the game stops if you put your phone to sleep.
I'm wear panties in public and use it as a vibrating anal plug
>>345050605
It does, if you leave the app open in battery saver mode. Which has to be set up like that for this to work anyways.
This wristband is for people who are literally too lazy to take their phones out of their pockets, because the phone has to be unlocked and the app running to it to work.
>>345050751
why don't they just make the game NOT stop if you put the phone to sleep?
>>345050827
>WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST CHANGE ALL OF THE PHONE OS'?!
>>345050827
Gotta make that money
>>345050656
>the pokemon company
The Pokémon Company (株式会社ポケモン Kabushiki gaisha Pokemon?) is a company that is responsible for marketing and licensing the Pokémon franchise. It was established through joint investment by the three businesses holding the copyright on Pokémon: Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures.
>>345050656
>Has nothing to do with Nintendo
>Nintendo's stock prices literally sky rocketed after app release.
Keep telling yourself that nintenbaby
>>345050827
because then they couldn't sell you a stupid fucking watch that will proceed to be scalped for triple the price, silly
>>345050773
London
>>345050927
Are you retarded?
Any app can run in the background or in sleep mode.
>>345050078
Can I put it on my penis?
>>345051047
men can wear panties too
>>345051047
what else did you expect
Can you really catch them without pulling out the phone? It would be nice if I am on a jog and I can just tap the band to get all the pokes and sort them later. Also, what if there is a Mewtwo and a Pidgey nearby. How does it determine who to throw the ball at?
Question is, when the fuck are they even going to update the game and allow multiple Pokemon transfers at once?
A big chunk of the game is transferring Pokes to the Professor to get candies, and doing it once at a time is a big hassle.
Also, why the fuck are they releasing these fucking watches when the game is an incomplete and buggy mess? I doubt that will get fixed before these release.
Gym battles are boring, pointless, and holding a Gym and getting the bonus is extremely hard, given you don't live in bumfuck nowhere. Game was obviously put together with no continuation in mind for when you get high CP Pokemon.
>>345051081
yeah, but it can't do that actively
t. app dev
i think I know better than you
>>345050827
They could and should, but even in that case the watch does still have some benefit since it's implied that it auto catches pokemon and pokestops at the touch of a button.
>>345051081
Shhh, anon doesn't know how notifications work. But you don't need to get angry.
>>345051140
You push the glowing button to throw a ball. Success then goes based on rng gods
I was about to bitch about the shape but I realized it's supposed to look like the location thing. I think.
>>345050198
My roommate is exactly like this. He has Nintendo shit plastered everywhere, tons of cards and dolls and stuffed animals and posters, and he will buy ANYTHING Nintendo makes for no other reason than that it's Nintendo. He even goes to places like Gamestop to see if they have any discarded Nintendo ad material (like those big cardboard cutouts) that he can have for free. He owns like 5 different 3DS systems and every Amiibo, including all the animal crossing ones AND the shitty little cards.
He's going to buy like twenty of these fucking things.
>>345051206
you don't, you're just making the same excuses that devs make when they think something can be done.
>>345051081
How?
>>345051206
>but it can't do that actively
Do what actively, anything it can do with the screen on it can do with the screen off.
>>345051289
Yeah, but does it have priority to Pokemon you don't already have? Higher CP? Rarity? It would just suck to miss out on a badass just because the millionth Ratatta decides to cock block you.
>>345050648
>picks up said item or pokemon
>or pokemon
How? Don't you have to throw the ball correctly at it?
>>345051361
You don't know what you're talking about.
>>345051379
wrong.
>>345051423
Nope. It vibrates, you push, it (maybe) catches. Its a blind gamble
>>345050078
I kind of want one but I won't actually wear it, I just want to catch Pokemon without looking at my phone too much
>>345051378
What do you want from me? To teach you how to program?
https://developer.android.com/training/run-background-service/index.html
>>345051423
I heard it only catches ones you already have caught before. No idea if this is true or not.
>>345051490
Silly goyim, with this new Pokemon Go accessory, Pokemon are automatically caught the first try! After all...you paid for it.
For real though, game's gonna be p2w hardcore when these things come out.
>>345051562
Bro, facebook running in the background, in sleep mode, can still operate the phone's microphone, pick up bits of your conversation, and make marketing suggestions based on the context.
Don't tell me it can't be done, retard.
>>345050078
lmao can't wait to beat up some nerds wearing this so I can steal them and resell online for some money to take my girl out and get some sweet pussy
>>345051707
>Bro, facebook running in the background, in sleep mode, can still operate the phone's microphone, pick up bits of your conversation, and make marketing suggestions based on the context.
Oh, you're a tinfoil hat wearing moron.
Good job ending the reply chain.
>>345051206
>I will throw out meaningless words to make myself look like I know what I'm talking about
t.(you)
>>345051640
I've already found them all save for the unreleased legends and dittoThanks to smart spoofing
>>345051757
>oh vey the government doesn't listen to your conversations, such technology doesn't even exist.
The world is so terrible that tinfoilers were fucking right.
>>345051490
>>345051640
you only catch it automatically if you've caught that pokemon before. If it's not in your pokedex it turns a different color and you have to open the app to catch it.
>>345050078
But will the light display your team color?
>>345051781
>I have a very small vocabulary and do not understand the words that you use, so I'll just pass them off as meaningless!
Hahaha, good job outing yourself as a literal retard.
>>345051757
It's not magic idiot, it's just a computer, all sleep mode does is turn off the screen and sends apps the info that the screen is off and they can now run through their pausing/sleep calls.
You don't need to make any sleep calls.
>>345051948
source?.. sounds too fancy to be some shitty wristband thing
>>345050773
source?
Cool, now I can play the game while driving and have a much lower risk of ending my own life or anothers.
>>345050467
>Vibrates when you're close to the Pokes. So you don't have to stare at your phone and track them.
so its just a fucking vibrator? it doesnt even catch them for you?
>>345051720
How much do you think this toddler tuxedo costed?
>>345052684
I was on the highway today and passed multiple LED signs that would briefly display the message "Drive Now. Catch Pokemon Later."
The impact of this game is astounding.
>>345052979
fucking retard
>>345050648
> like a retard with your phone in hand.
So instead you look like a retard with a children's bracelet in your wrist??
Does anyone know if you still need the POGO app open while you use this ? Also if it acts like a true pedometer ?
Because if its no to those than its seriously just a glorified bluetooth button that adds no functionality to the game at all.
>>345050965
1/3 of a part that is in a joint-venture with google don't look that much
>>345053420
>Pedometer
Adults are walking around trying to catch virtual monsters with their phones, everybody is a kid again, they will buy this.
>>345053753
Niantic, Inc. is an American software development company based in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2010 by John Hanke as Niantic Labs, an internal startup at Google,[1] before it was spun out of Google as an independent entity in 2015.
>>345050078
I think they have a clip, if so I'll be clipping mine inward in my pocket.
lets enjoy PGo while we can. When these things come out all the magic will be fucking ruined.
>>345052245
it's a $30 shitty wristband thing.
>>345054529
Why? Third worlders will finally be able to catch pokémon without getting robbed.
>>345056338
>>345054529
I see, it will make the normalfags notice how childish they were and it will fade out.
>>345051804
Smart spoofing? So you're just moving where you want to go at small distance intervals?
>>345050078
>Wearing jewlery is cringe
>Everyone in the world wears jewlery/accessories
>Only because its nintendo its bad
Seriously tho, 35 is alot and we dont have any idea what its going to do. They say you can catch pokemon without looking at the phone but pokemon sometimes jump out or move so how is that possible?
I just want more information to make the price more reasonable.
>>345056843
So you don't remember the pokéwalker?
>>345057825
Of course i do but it literally did nothing beneficial and also it came with the game for free so dont give me any bullshit about the pokewalker.
>>345051206
Pandora does, hell that's a fucking selling point.
