Why aren't you playing, /v/?
How can a shitty mobile app trigger a whole image board this hard?
>Literally a free meal for having a high level
They fucked up, they should have offered buy 2 pizzas grab one for free.
There's no incentive not to just get free food and jet.
Because I have to walk around to play it.
Free pizza just for playing a game that they get zero benefit from?
Why the fuck?
>>345061001
publicity
>>345060962
The goal is to create a positive consumer experience encouraging them to become repeat customers
capitalism hard at work
>>345061030
What good is publicity if everyone is just going to come in with their phone, get the free pizza and leave.
They should have at least made it buy one get one free.
>>345060846
The game isn't even good. I don't understand why it's so popular.
Because I have Android 4.2 and don't have an internet connection outside of home.
>>345061105
maybe that's the catch
>>345060846
well i know how to get fed for free for a few days
where is this pizzeria?
>>345060846
>Your device is not compatible with this version.
>>345061073
They better have some really fucking delicious pizza.
>>345061105
If it's good pizza, they might come back or tell their friends.
Word of mouth is fucking powerful, just look at early Minecraft and Undertale.
>>345061138
>I don't understand why it's so popular.
Use your head m8. I'm not going to think for you.
>free 10'' pizza for doing literally nothing
That's pretty fucking awesome. If shit like this existed in my city, I would absolutely go there. Unless they write your name down, they have no way of know if you've done it before either.
Fucking Generation Z
>>345060846
What worse is the hot topic sparkle hipsters that won't shut up qbout valor
>tfw no gyroscope so I can't see the mons in rl through my phone like some schizo
Damn LG phone your GPS is garbage too.
>>345060846
Welp if this is real then they completely fucked their business with this. Customers will not only take the free pizza and leave but they'll expect it each time they come in. Then when they aren't given a free pizza they'll get pissy and refuse to come back. Business 101.
>>345061250
They can afford to take a loss on hundreds of pizzas, I'm sure their ingredient cost per pizza isn't very high.
>>345061357
If it makes you feel better, I've turned AR off because it makes catching mons harder.
>>345061357
It's harder to catch with AR on. Don't worry too much.
Windows Phone
>>345060952
it's the most "fun" app ever to have been made, of course v would shit their pants hard
I'd rather play games desu
>younger sister and brother leave for an hour playing this shit
>come back with about three pikachus each
Apparently those are rare?
>>345060846
>free '12 za for a level 21 GO level
I have no idea what that shit means because I don't play this fucking abomination but fuck that is based.
>>345060846
Phone doesn't have enough RAM.
I'll just emulate it when I get home instead.
>Dallas
Figures, texans always do werid shit.
Why the fuck is no one around me doing these insane promotions? Like shit I just hit level 8 and I'd love a free pizza.
Honestly though, I'm fucking amazed how popular this shit is. I went to the park with a friend today to look for pokemon and there were so many fucking people there doing the exact same
Because I'm not a business owner
>>345061504
It means you've been playing all week and wasting your gas driving everywhere looking for pokemon.
>>345061357
>See the mons
>there are still people on /v/ who think this is a competitive game and not a social game
Not my fault you're too autistic to understand the appeal
Because my phone is shit and on an old version of android.
>>345061520
I'm not playing because I think it's dumb, but I'm glad everyone else is having fun.
>>345060846
>mobile gaming
I own a Windows Phone, because it's the only Smartphone I know of that isn't Apple or Google.
>>345061571
>I went to the park with a friend today to look for pokemon and there were so many fucking people there doing the exact same
My city is so odd. It's absolutely empty in the burbs, but downtown it is nonstop people catching mons. Then again the gym and pokestop density in the suburbs is terrible, they're so goddamn far apart and downtown you're always in range of at least 1 pokestop if not 2.
>>345061520
>dat assumption
I can't say projection because i can hardly call it that
>>345060846
It's really really boring. Let me know when they add battles and trading.
>>345060846
>Free 8'' Pizza
Bruh
>>345060846
I'm trying to play but the fucking app freezes every two minutes
>>345061660
>social game
We call those sports, faggot.
Put down your phone and play ball.
>original pokemon games are out
>girls make fun of guys who play because it's nerdy
>pokemon go comes out
>girls never shut the fuck up about it
>tweet shit all the time
>"I'm just tryna catch pokemon"
>"pokemon go is seriously an addiction"
>"no I'm not taking a picture of you I'm just catching pokemon"
I don't like this. They're literally saying "hey look at me! I play pokemon too! look at me hey!"
>church steeple near my house is pokestop
>walk over
>see a bunch of kids standing around with their phones out
>get super self-aware and realize I probably look like a child molester
>turn around
>go home
>still out of pokeballs
>>345061545
Its not the same
That won't give you the feeling if a parasect (which is huge as fuck apparently) popping out of the neighbors grass then running away before you can throw a second ball
I'm enjoying it, maybe not so much as a game but more as something to help me get fit. I've already lost weight playing it. Besides, it's not about the gameplay, it's about the fun of battling real world gyms and fighting over real world resources.
And yeah, it's fun.
Fucking hell, everyday I realize more that you guys are just /a/ but for video games.
It's funny because /a/ seems to think you guys are cancer and worse than them or some shit, but in reality it's almost the same fucking board, except you guys don't lose your shit about crossboarders as much.
Seems all of 4chan hates fun, which probably explains why your lives are as shitty as you claim.
>>345061834
Did your mommy not hug you when you were growing up or something? You have issues.
>>345061597
I don't play it though but I do have a friend who has who plays it and he says you can turn on location something something in the developer options on your phone and sit at home catching pokemans for anywhere while sitting on your ass "instead of running around like a crackhead looking for a house to rob". His words
>>345061854
I haven't found a single adult playing this fucking game and I've been at it 2 days.
>>345060846
Because no one has given me a reason to play it. I downloaded it caught a couple pokemon, flung a pokestop around for a little, but is the endgame just collecting them all? What purpose to gyms serve but to tell folks which color had the biggest circlejerk. I guess it's for those people who grew up wanting real pokemon. Honestly it's a 5/10 app at best.
Though I can understand using it to get fit. Whatever helps motivate people to improve themselves even if it turns them into zombies.
>>345061873
>Seems all of 4chan hates fun
The number of television shows and films that /tv/ genuinely adores might surprise you. Start a thread about Nathan For You if you want an example.
>>345061831
Yeah but you can't play open world football with every single person in the country as your opponent or team mate.

>>345061854
JUST DO IT
>>345061984
Hi
>>345061984
I work in an office park and I see a surprising number of adults 20-35 playing Po Go during lunch hours. Then again there's like 3000 employees in the park between all the businesses, so a couple dozen out of 3000 is still next to nothing.
>>345061864
It wouldn't give that feeling anyway because it's still just shit stuck on a phone screen.
Now if it was some kind of AR headset/glasses, that'd be different.
>>345061991
>Because no one has given me a reason to play it
if you liked Ingress, which lots of people did, and had a similar effect on businesses savvy of it, then it's Pokemon Ingress

>probably would have gained like 60,000XP
DON'T WASTE THOSE LUCKY EGGS BOYS! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!
>>345062032
yeah being level 8 requires you to actively be using the app daily.
Most people who have a 9-5 office job with a commute that involve a subway are mostly fucked for a decent leveling pace unless they go out of their way to make time for the game.
>>345061998
/tv/ is as close as you can get to a nice board that isn't [s4s]. Funposting as it is today pretty much originates with /tv/.
No one even fucking knows what /b/ is doing.
>>345061781
Fuck you queer. I want that 12'' za, I'm downloading PoGO right fucking now and I'll be spoofing my location all night to get the levels I need to get this shit. I know where MFP is and god damnit they have some good pies.
Bitch nigga, do you understand? I'll be feeding my friends the entire weekend with free 'za.
>>345061239

>>345060846

>>345061925
Realizing that girls are being extremely attention whorey with pokemon go means I have issues? I mean fuck, I talked to someone earlier today at a pokestop and she was clueless about the game despite "playing it constantly since it came out". It's like people are just playing it because it's popular and there are memes about it.
>>345061414
worked in pizza places before
most at the end of the day have like 10 boxes of left over pizza that gets thrown away.
They know what they're doing.
>>345061105
>Oh hey this free pizza is pretty good, I think I'll come back next week for lunch
>Pizza, better buy a soda to wash it down
>Oh they also have buffalo wings? I'll take an order of that.
You know, basic fucking marketing and business running?
>>345062172
no they are leveling at the intended pace. you NEET
>>345060846
no girlfriend to walk around outside with
>>345061834
same shit happened to video games
>>345062292
Slow down there, DSP.
>>345062172
people are bragging about playing pkmn go from the moment they leave the house to the moment they get home.
>retards bragging about running into traffic or stopping their car in the middle of the road constantly to catch shit on their phone, which they hold up next to the steering wheel
>one fucker even showed off a sticker for the back of their car that said "FREQUENT STOPPER" over a pokeball
people instantly forgot decades of "DON'T DO SHIT WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING" in actual seconds, and on twitter it is considered cute and relateable to post "just did [x retarded dangerous thing] to catch a pokemon teehee!"
>>345062172
>being an adult with a job

Pick one.
>>345062027
ive seen this happen to, some idiot was trying to climb the containment wall of an area one factory i work at has for its hexane processing
great city planning means this factory with its highly explosive hexane processing facility is right next to jet feul storage bins and the hospital, kid could have blown up the whole harbour front if he made it over that 10ft wall
>normalfags literally trespassing because they want to catch cartoon monsters
>normalfags literally more autistic than autists
>mfw it's only a matter of time until one of these retards gets shot for wandering into private property
>>345061741
Iive about 5 blocks away from a little shopping district, and there's like three gyms and a shit ton of pokestops all within walking distance from each other. People are nonstop playing
>>345060846
Because I don't have any other reason to have a smartphone.
>>345062292
Or
>oh hey this free pie is sweet
>think ill tell my friends how based this place is so we can grab pies here after work sometimes
Fuck, they'll make a killing off this. Maybe not right now but later on, people will remember this. MFP might turn into Papa John's.
>>345061854
this, I was close to catching a eevee but saw a little girl go that way with a phone on her hand. Felt too awkward to just follow her and gave up on it.
>>345062190
wait, do they let you pick what type of pie and its tops?
>>345062230
that isnt an excuse it hasnt stopped me

can you try and pull your head out of your ass for one second and realize you're completely out of touch with reality? i mean, i know being disconnected with social norms is what prompts you to post on /v/ in the first place, but try and show a little self-awareness.
>>345062437
Its like the mother lifting the car up from crushing her daughter. The car representing your lack of fun and the mother as in me telling you not to talk to my daughter again who at the same time is the child inside all of us.

>>345061239
Mine said that too. I just downloaded the .apk from the internet.
Make sure to not download the possibly infected one going around.
>>345062351
>this feel :(
I'm playing at night on my college campus because there's a shitload of stops and people are constantly dropping lures. I played with 2 friends a couple days ago but they went out of town and now I'm playing alone. I see groups of 3 to 5 friends all over campus throughout the night and quite a few couples and it's pretty depressing. I want friends who are down to catch pokes too.
>>345060846
I can't find anywhere offering free shit like this.
I made it to level 20 easy, gimme a pizza
>having a jewphone tracking device
>>345062515
>>345062292
>>345061105
It also gets people who would have never tried this pizza place over dominos or round table to come in and see whether or not it's a good pizza. Basic fucking economics to bring in new customers

>>345062645
Not him, but my job bans all cellphones during work hours. Only time we can have them out if during breaks. If you even have them out briefly just to check the time, if a supervisor sees they can fire you on the spot for it.

pretty sure we have the same phone. My LG has a garbage GPS that never updates and teleports me around randomly on the map. No gyro either
>>345062883
I never try stuff just to fit in either.
But this app is as close as you get to bringing pokemon to real life. You travel around and search for them all over the place as if it was real. Plus there's the social aspect, which I'm not big on myself.
>>345062292
Youre an idiot
>>345061834
>girls make fun of guys who play because it's nerdy
I've literally never seen this happen. Either they're into it too and play (rare but I've seen it), like it for nostalgic reasons, or are totally indifferent.
Do you guys seriously get bullied by girls for liking one of the most popular game franchises of all time? Just seems unlikely to me.
Its not even out here yet, and im not installing some random .apk i found on the internet.
I DON'T KNOW WHO CREATED POKEMON GO BUT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE GET THE TO POKEMON GO TO THE_____
>>345062986

>>345062652
nobody said it was a death-toll contest, smartass.
i never implied it was "mad max out there" and i know it isn't nintendo's fault BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FUCKING MAKE THE APP.
do you know how many fucking PSAs and shit they have done to try and get people NOT to use their phones while driving? and yet idiots are posting as if it is just so precocious that they almost died in a car accident trying to catch a fucking pidgey
police need to get on this shit sooner than later and issue tickets to anyone playing GO in their car in the same manner they'd issue fines for texting
it won't be hard to nail these idiots for it either if they do shit like that "FREQUENT STOPPER" sticker on their window
>>345062774

Why wouldnt I just go to another place having a deal, insted? If good food trumps a deal then how did the unknown pizza place catch me with a deal in the first place when i didnt know how the food was? Shouldnt I have gone to a place I knew was good and ignored the deal?
>>345062986
>eat thing you would never have eaten if not free

Why the fuck is Onix so rare holy shit he's my favorite and I can't find him

Pokemon and Sonic are the literal bronies of /v/ for fucks sakes.
Pokemon is even a bannable offense here for being not /v/ related yet you retards bring your shit here instead of staying in your fucking containment board to talk about your fucking candy crush autist game.
>>345063263
>police need to get on this shit sooner than later and issue tickets to anyone playing GO in their car in the same manner they'd issue fines for texting
They do you donut. Operating an electronic device while driving is illegal in all circumstances. They don't have fucking different levels of fines for what you were doing on your phone.
>>345060846
what the fuck that's a good deal
Hey /v/.
Do you play Pokemon as a Boy or Girl?
>>345063358
>Shouldnt I have gone to a place I knew was good and ignored the deal?
You wouldn't know its good until you went there for the first time.
This tactic gets first time buyers and establishes good will with old timers.
>>345063613
I've always wanted to play as a girl but it took my 11 years to gain the courage to do it.
Feels good.
>>345061073
Also the idea they will bring others there, spread good word, or maybe even buy other shit while they're getting the free stuff.
/v/ doesn't understand this because in /v/'s world, every person is a literal psychopathic narcissist
>>345063613
I play as a girl in most because the boy usually looks stupid as shit. S/M male looks fine though.
>>345063212
What do you know about me, fuckface? You don't know fucking shit about my life or my choices.
I don't even have a phone capable of running the goddamn app and I live in Canada which doesn't even have it anyway.
But you seriously would need your head entirely inside your own asshole to make so many excuses and deflections away from the reality that Pokemon is popular with adults and kids alike.
People in their work offices are all playing it. I know friends in US who have confirmed their workplaces can't stop obsessing about it either. I've heard stories about older people coming up and asking about it after seeing so many people using the app, and then saying they might try it as a result. it's infectious. it's free. it's on devices that damn near every person in the world have.
leave /v/ and take a fucking walk outside. you need to see the world you live in.
>>345063424
I'm grown. Ive been here too long to let some random shithead on /v/ tell me how to talk. Queer.
>>345061834
>girls make fun of guys who play because it's nerdy
Not really, pokemon was a pretty cross-gender phenomenon
>>345063439
Do you know how many cute girls and old friends from high school I've seen down by a local hotspot of mine. There is no reason to be bitter. Even if this is bait, there are people who feel this way.

/v/ is literally tumblr for boys. You all use the same logic.
Coffee shop in my city is offering half off coffees to team Mystic players. Has become HQ for team Mystic and apparently their sales have gone through the roof. Constant waves of Po Go players coming in and out.
>>345063857
Two words dummy: location spoofing
Won't catch my old fatass running around with kids thinking I'm a ped
I was just at Tempe beach park, there was literally hundreds of people packed there and this place normally doesn't have a lot of people unless there's an event going on. People were all doing the same thing and random strangers (myself and brother included) would tell other people where to catch certain Pokemon. People were being really social. I also bought an Ash Ketchum hat. It's a good small business venture as well (people were selling $1 water bottles since it's 100°+ right now).
It's fun.

WHAT PLACE? You're literally inventing imagined scenarios to help your argument.
>Ok but what if next week the pizza place burned down? How will they get my money then?
This is your logic.
I have a question,
How is anyone new supposed to train at gyms? I don't stand a chance there with my 1xx CP Pokemon.
>>345063857
holy shit you need to get laid
>>345063358
It's a risk free way to try a new pizza place. If they suck, at least you didn't spend any money. If it's good, you now have a new option when deciding where to eat in the future.
>>345063459
>>345064165
they're obviously not keeping a good eye out for it, since the twitter posts of people playing in their car just keep coming
also i meant people who do obvious pkmn go related things like abruptly stopping and going while driving down roads, having Pkmn Go-related stickers on their car saying "frequent stopper" and etc
>>345064275
You don't.
The game is so broken, it's literally impossible to defeat 3000CP pokemon without buying pokecoins now.
You can basically spam revives and potions until you defeat any gym.
>>345063857
the idea of someone jogging towards me, noticing me playing PoGo at 3 AM, falling over and hyperventilating from just my presence, sobbing, all while I never look up from trying to find that damn eevee, made me spill my drink on my keyboard and now the h key is sticking'

>>345061520
I'm 25, hold a college degree, in a stable career and I still think this shit is awesome. I could never get into the gameboy games because I like to move and this scratches the itch. Although I wish you could do more battling.
>>345064698
texting doesn't require you to stop every 40 meters.
>>345060846
I don't like Pokemon, phone games, or have a phone that can use apps like that.

I would play it if it was a pokemon game, not a screenswiping game.
>>345064689
Because there are 200% more people then there are cops you dingus. How do you expect law enforcement to find EVERY SINGLE instance of someone using their phone while driving? And why are you acting like this only started with pokemon go?
>>345064587
The fuck does GLOMP mean?
>>345064796
Oh, I thought you were arguing because you knew something I didn't, but you're just an ignorant retard who lives in a fantasy land where retards can't possibly be as retarded as they behave, it's totally an act

>>345064804
>texting doesn't require you to stop every 40 meters.
This doesn't happen.
>>345064804
My point is using your phone while driving looks the same no matter what you use the phone for.
If you're complaining about them stopping suddenly in the middle of traffic, that's illegal and if a cop sees they will get a ticket
>>345060846
I'm usually not susceptible to this kind of behaviour but Genwunners, from normies to /vp/ autists, have killed all interest in anything that has to do with gen 1 for me.
It's not like I truly dislike the pokemon from that gen or anything but when my peers get excited about those original 151, while disregarding everything that followed, I can't help and feel disgusted and bored.
May it only be because they grew out of it and have nostalgia now, while I atleast played through every sequel since then besides X/Y.
Aside from all that rambling, there also isn't enough game for me yet.

>I can't help but run up and GLOMP them =3
I remember this one time I was at an anime convention and some half furry retard tried to GLOMP me randomly. He ran up behind me and threw his arms around me so I grabbed his arm and sort of elbow slammed him into the ground out of reflex. Felt pretty bad about it immediately because he was probably sort of fucked up considering he was a furry. Also that was probably the most violent thing I've ever done to a stranger.
He shouldn't have been glompin' people though.

I've heard people say it in real life. It's really stupid. So someone choosing to remove one syllable from pizza doesn't sound that farfetch'd. Pun intended.
>>345064798
Dude, every mainline Pokemon game has been on a handheld. You could use them on long car trips as a kid, or if you had the co-ordination when walking around doing crap. What you are saying is quite redundant.
>>345065651
A whole pizza is a whole pizza. A pizza pie is desert pizza or something.

I'd certainly go through the trouble if it meant getting a free pizza out of it. As is, there's really no point. Collecting had some brief novelty, but there's nothing to do with them.

Russian? Really fucking hard. Chinese? Almost impossible. Japanese? Well, spoken part is easier than English, but it compensates with written part being a mess. Latin? It's dead and it's still harder than English.
There are no majorly spoken languages on this planet that are easier than English.
>>345067348
English is a broken piece of shit language, that you actually have to listen to others to figure out how to pronounce shit.

game is dead when the bracelet comes up. the thing fucking gets you free items and automatically catches pokemon. the magic and unity will be gone for the most part, only the dedicated fans will keep playing.

just buy like a bunch of lures, pop them and wait till people come, once it runs out ask people around if they want another lure, they'l say "fuck yeah motherfucker" and keep catching pokes, keep doing this at the same time in the same place, and people will recognize you as the lure guy, you'll get some crack whores clinging to your pokelure cock begging for handouts and you'll feel like you've acomplished something in life.

The point is, you shouldn't have to hear others to know how to pronounce things... you should already know just by reading the word. With absolutely no exceptions. And english as A LOT of exceptions.

Oh wow, you've got homonyms, what an amazing thing. It's not like every other language in the world has hundreds of them.

He is saying he needs to use it on the move, and the handheld games while being piss easy actually requiring you to think about moves and has a story and takes like 8-10 hours to finish.
What is redundant is wanting more battling when battling would slow down the game when the game is meant to be played on the move and not sitting down near someone and battling for 5 minutes.
>>345065946
>>345066302
Battle system will never evolve past taps for normal attacks and holding for a special move. Maaaaaaybe you get to customize your special move down the line but I doubt it. They have to add new Pokemon constantly, and balance evolution around not being able to catch 25 of the same Pokemon as easily as launch day.
I doubt the game gets direct battles too.

I wasnt defending it nor am I trying to brag about being able to learn it. On the contrary, I'm pointing out how stupid it is and how saying English is the easiest language in the world is wrong.
English would actually benefit from the little tilde things that Spanish has on top of vowels. It would make knowing how to pronounce words easier.
It's still amazing that to this day, people still pronounce Pokemon wrong, despite the word having a tilde on top of the "e", meaning it's an "eh" sound. Pok-eh-mon, not pokey-mon.
>>345068645
To be fair, I'm Canadian and I've heard that even in Toronto there's too few. Once it properly comes out it'll hopefully get better.

This will never not infuriate me. I live in some suburbs with only two stops anywhere near me, and I have to walk 10 minutes to get to either of them. People in major metropolitan areas have such a huge advantage it discourages me from playing. I have to drive out downtown just to fucking refill on pokeballs.

How do you actually play this game? I don't have a smartphone so I can't play it and don't understand how the game works. Are pokemon placed at GPS coordinates or something and it tells you to go to that location to find it? I also heard it only really works well in big cities.
>>345069734
Ever followed a GPS? It's like that but faggier because everywhere you go no matter what time it is you'll have other faggots there.
>>345069734
The game is still in it's early stages so all you can really do is catch pokemon, raise eggs, buy shit, and go all the way to a gym to battle.

I honestly feel that they need to make the rate of finding polemon higher because it feels like you have to walk for 5 minutes just to fing one fucking pokemon while driving picks them up in at least a minute.
That's hwy people use it driving.
Even i have caught many pokemon at red lights
I think nintendo need to change this up a bit.

There's three Pokestops within a five mile radius by me but like eight gyms, it's retarded.
>>345069852
Yes. I mean I live outside the city around a bunch of cornfields. Would it just tell me to walk 10 miles into the city? I have a friend with the app coming to visit and thought maybe we could go hunt pokemon late at night, but i'm certainly not walking 10 miles or some shit.
>>345060846
I thought the point of Pokemon Go was to make the autists exercise.
This is counter productive.

/v/ is officially mystic
Are Pokemon encounters random, or what? There's like grass/leaf looking shit that pops out of certain areas for a second and then disappears, is that supposed to hint that pokemon might be in that area? I'm liking the game so far, but I think it needs to be better explained.
>Start playing this game
>Suddenly notice and wonder when others are looking down at their phones when walking
I must be autistic.
>>345064804
I hvae experimented and you only have to stop for gyms and hot spots.
If you are driving and a pokemon pops up you can clcick on him and catch him while still driving,but the game usually freezes because you are moving and it forces the game to load constantly while you catch it and the app cant handle it.
I have done this while going at about 35 miles per hour, but never on the fucking highway

All level really does is increase the CP ranges of pokemon you find/upgrade to.
The main draw of the game is collecting in general. So go out with them and enjoy the collectathon!
>>345063425
10 km eggs buddy
>>345071064
I know that, but I wanna participate in gyms, but if I started late then all the other players are just gonna stay ahead of me and i wont be able to do that

Pic related. Is this why you guys are mad? Because you were bullied in school for liking pokemon and now it's widely accepted again? How pathetic. I want r9k to leave.

That's some smart thinking there.
Am definitely taking note of that if I ever own a restaurant.

>>345072118
>Galaxy S6
>really shitty battery
You sure you're using it right? I've got one and Pokemon Go only drains my battery about 15% per hour of play. You know that there's a battery saver mode right? Also make sure that you have no background apps draining power.
>>345060962
You don't know much about this manner of advertisement.
It increases awareness of the establishment, puts the product in the hands of the consumer, establishes positive experience with the community.
It's really fucking common.
>>345072292
>You know that there's a battery saver mode right?
You mean the in-game one or the phone one? and yeah, i turn off all other apps. turning down the brightness has helped though, but for me it's more like 20% per hour
>>345072193
All us employees also get free food whenever we work as long as we eat at the restaurant. I often work at the register and will buy a regular's meal once and a while. Small things like that really help bringing people back. Another thing we often do is buy a first time customers meal.

Any job should push your shit in for playing on your phone instead of working the job they pay you to do.
Especially jobs where awareness is important, like factory or warehouses full of safety regulations so you don't run underneath a pallet.

I work the nightshift at my warehouse counting inventory and they don't give a shit what I do with my phone as long as it doesn't consume too much time.

HAHAHA.
>investing in mobile games after Pokemon Go.
Rolling in the money, blackjack and hookers
>>345072263
Pretty sure 10km is the highest. It's such a goddamn hassle though. You need to keep the app open and on screen for the entire duration.
I really hope they allow egg hatching just from walking with the app in the background, because I don't want to stare at my phone like an autist all day
>>345066550
>he thinks English is a simple language
Haha, holy fuck.
English is actually quite difficult, because of all these nuances, tones and second meanings, and a bunch of horseshit you probably don't have to worry your CIS white male noggin about.

>>345072629
Some warehouses let you get away with it. Depends how much work there is to do.
>>345061193

I did the play the app though. Got to level 5 and stopped. It's complete shit, and you look like a fucking retard using it.
is pokemon spawn really tied to your region or something?
like I'm lvl 20 and I haven't managed to find a single oddish, and water pokemons are rare as fuck even near a lake.
I need to fucking cross the country to get the shit that doesn't spawn here or what?
In my country the service is only available in certain regions because of a reason I dont really understand yet. Many people are flocking to those places. The locals dont know why the hell they are suddenly getting shitton of visitors.
Also I am in middle of an internship. I am actually using the phone sitting on the shitter

Why is everyone so suprised? Its a fad, one that might last longer than most, but a fad nonetheless. I mean, everyone lukes pokemon to a degree, eaither you grew up with it, which most of us did, and this app is becoming the clost thing to the real deal. Or youre some backwash hillbilly or arab snd never knew the joys if the imagination. This is a good social expereince for people. This hate for this game is expected, but not justified. Now, i dont play, but even i understand the appeal. And if people want to use it as an excuse to go outside...wheres the fucking harm in that? Everything has a reason, hows this any different?
