Easy on the edge there, kiddo. You're putting words into my mouth with that strawman of yours. The context here was about you crying over people doing stupid shit with a game. It's the stupid people at fault, not the game itself. Do you blame guns when people use them like idiots? Get out you nu-male pansy.

Are people really that mad at this thing?
>>345068025
That defeats the entire purpose of the game. Might as well play X/Y if you don't want to go out.

People would still be calling/texting/etc. while driving so really, it doesn't make much of a difference.

It depends on how fat anon is. People who are overweight bordering on obese, or are obese, will drop more weight faster.
Someone who's keeping up an obscene amount of calories each day will lose weight quickly if they suddenly cut down to a normal amount, compared to someone who's only got some minor chub.

What the fuck? I'm 100% convinced that there are less than 50 Pokemon total in my area. Do I need to start a cross country trip to get that many?

It doesn't cause shit, retards do. If you argue it's the games fault then I can argue it's the guns fault in a shooting incident, or the cars fault in a drunk driving incident.

This literally happened to me on Sunday.
>>345072835
Because /v/ hates successful games, it's a fucking anomaly of life.
They want their game to do so well when it's nothing, then when it picks up, and actually is carving swathes of social interaction to the point where companies are asking Niantic to add more stops and do corporate lures, /v/ instantly goes 180 x 2 and suddenly hates it
Like god fucking forbid people enjoy a Pokemon lite, with the benefit of socializing and exploring parts of your own town/city, because their is no IV/EV, and you don't fight in the dated even for the 90's style of turn based combat

Yes, and just have sex with the person you find there. That's what the lures are actually for. Even if they try to say they don't want sex, they shouldn't have put down the lure if they really didn't want it.
How the fuck do I keep my shit together when people try to talk to me about this game?
Last time I had no idea what to do apart from asking one or two menial questions about the game.

>>345076375
The point is to get people outside by playing a game and the game is purposefully light to get people socializing about the area, buying drinks, and meeting up by giving them a shared topic

>having a Golem before trading is a thing
this upsets me mildly. It's a shame they have such lame evolution requirements and it's probably too late to properly fix it. They could've done interesting things and milk more money by getting evolution stones by either random gym drops, or buying them from the shop. At least they could implement the later generation evolution requirements like time of day, trading with item attached, and friendships.

while this guy comes across as a fag i don't understand why people are ridiculing him for losing weight just because he did it while playing pokemon.
Shouldn't it be a good thing that a game is encouraging and promoting physical activity? Why do I keep seeing
>WOW you need a little KIDS game to actually exercise? How PATHETIC
How is going out for a walk with the intention of getting fit and going out for a walk with the intention of catching Pokemon any fucking different if the result is the same?
what the actual fuck is going on
>>345079431
Then I guess you live in one of those "big" european countries where people are not that smart and think just because your countrys laws are fucked up, everyone elses are too and no-one can be happy where American corporalism doesn't exist.
The smaller the country, the happier "commie cucks" are because it works better.
Just be patient. This is your typical meme game that everyone can't get enough of for a couple of week and then gets replaced by the next meme game a week later.

The fact that a game that requires you to go outside and talk with people has you idiots this nuclear is icing on this fucking cake.
And if youre not an autist, I say just chill out if GO shit annoys you. Give it a month for the hype to die down, or at least until the good weather goes away. This game will be pretty stagnant when winter rolls around.
>>345079807

It's better doing it as a lifestyle change rather than on the back of a fad you'll get bored of before long. But as long as you can find something else after that, any excuse is good.
Exercise is a lot easier when you have other reasons than because you need to.

Because people have to justify their own fear of ridicule about going out to exercise by projecting their insecurities onto others to reinforce said fear so they don't get out to exercise.
They are making fun of the anon in question so they can justify not getting in better shape, despite pokemon go being overwhelmingly socially acceptable and in most cases praised because it gets neets and fat basement dwelling faggots outside/social/active, and they just don't want to get in better shape because they are scared of what other people would think if they saw them making the effort.
RIP to everyone this game's going to kill.
>>345063182
Pokemon Go doesn't cause these problems, idiots do.
Also, houses can't be made into Gyms and Stops. That's dumb.

>>345080650
>It's better doing it as a lifestyle change rather than on the back of a fad you'll get bored of before long.
While I understand what you're saying, I see the "fad" as the first step. Sure for some people theyre gonna drop GO and go back to being fat pigs.
Some people are gonna start with GO and be like "You know what, I actually enjoyed walking/jogging/biking" and it's going to become part of their lifestyle.
At the point obesity is at in the Americas, I choose to see the game as a positive.

So you're saying hanging out with people and socializing is "plebeian?"
This is /v/, not /r9k/, but judging the reaction to GO I don't think there's much of a difference anymore.
>>345081030
anything that has "social" in it is plebeian by definition

Generally, those people in the second example, are overwhelmingly likely to be the sort that didn't need it to get going to begin with.
For everyone else, willpower isn't as strong for most folk as we like to believe. That's why you need something constant to keep you into it.
I'm not against the game, or upset at people getting a little in shape doing it. I'm just against the idea of calling it this "great thing for fitness". It's not. It's just a temporary reason that does the trick.

Perhaps you're right, it's really hard to say because everyone is different and there are an innumerable amount of variables (such as where you live.)

right because constantly reading/hearing about people dying 24/7 does anything for you. woah someone murdered in another country again! i am so glad i am aware of this so i can do literally nothing about it!
When will mods ban pokemon go threads or move them to /vp/
this game is great. All the qts in my city are out in leggings and yoga pants and they never notice me perving because they're too busy playing the game.
Why are you idioits not rooting your android phone and playing this at home with fakegps and without walking at all, it's fun as fuck familia

Pokémon is Ingress with a pokémon skin pasted on it...i'm not joking here (it's the same company)
>>345081551
anon but that's not fun
the game in itself sucks, the fun part is going around actually looking for pokemon
not to mention, there is literally nothing stopping you from catching anything and having infinite items, how is playing with infinite items fun?
>>345081726
Its just a reskin of the developer's previous game Ingress. You run around catching Pokemon, effortlessly and without battles, and the battle system is tapping for normal attacks to fill a bar to do a special move of which Pokemon only have 1 of. Its typical brain dead mobile game stuff.

This entirely. /v/ hates Pokemon go because it forces the average weeby neet socially inept fatass to do the three things they hate to do: be "mainstream", socialize and exercise.
>>345082161
It's not just that. I like the game and have been out pokemon hunting and talking to people at my local university every night, but the actual game is shallow as shit. I can understand people not liking it.
>>345082158
catching pokemon has always been rng
in mainline pokemon games you get the pokemon low on health and apply statuses to him
in pogo you have to throw the ball inside the small circle, the smaller the circle the higher the chance to catch
i'd still like if they introduced some sort of fighting anyway, as a layer of depth. this game needs it desperately
>>345082161
>walking is exercise
love this meme

Anyone know how i can further trigger autists playing this game? I have already taken to using "pokemons" as the plural for pokemon, and pretending I've never heard of every pokemon i encounter.
>>345082269
That too, I do agree. Just seems the majority of people that hate Pokemon Go just hate the game because it's cool to hate shit. I haven't had so much fun playing a video game in years, desu, but then again I'm one of those guys who has to have friends to play with or someone to talk to when playing. If not, I'm bored in 30 minutes.

This game is complete shit, it is just cookie cutter bullshit with a geographical map. Paper toss catching system, button mashing battle system, and the fact that Pokemon GO forces you to travel large distances to even have a shot. I am a little overweight (310) and I don't have a license and I live in a fucking rural area with barely any pokestops.
The few pokestops and gyms I even have women and children all around during the day so I need to go at 3am. What the fuck happened to just sitting and playing a game at home? I'm gonna do just that or fuck i'll just emulate it

Normies will get bored with it in a month when they realize how fucking pathetic they're acting and all that will be left will be the manchildren walking around alone and 3am because they know how sad they look but won't care enough to stop playing.

Makes people more fit, get more contact with people and overally improve their mood.

Is there any point to playing this game if I don't want to socialize with average IQ, trend hopping, normalfags? They look to be the primary demographic for this game. The game itself doesn't look very deep mechanically, you just go to a location, find something, or play an RNG based mini game. The value of the game is derived from the social interactions you have with others when playing the games (which I have no interest in), it has no intrinsic gameplay value.
Am I really missing out on anything?

Not really, I play with my housemates and most of the fun comes from seeing where we end up before out battery dies or trying to run around as many gyms as we can for the bonus before somone takes one back

Nintendo own less than 50% stocks in the Pokémon company. The game wasn't made by them either. Pokemon Go has next to nothing to do with nintendo.

I don't even care about the game, I just wish people would SHUT THE FUCK UP about it. God damn, every single day, every single site you go to, just 300 fucking ads for this game.
Like holy shit you'd think they found a way to make pokemon actually real or something.
Fucking embarrassing, and to make matters worse this kind of cancer is affecting the rest of the gaming market too.
Someone kill me now.

If they had nothing to do with it why did it increase their stock prices by about 5000%?

>>345088173
it's like geocaching
but instead of having to go to interesting out of the way places, you have to go to starbucks
>>345088503
Because the biggest pokemon releases are on Nintendo consoles, so something that gives pokemon a MASSIVE burst on popularity is naturally gonna increase their stock
I bet people are gaining weight playing this because they eat at McDonalds and such. Losing weight is like 90% diet and 10% exercise

Great game, lad
>>345088565
NO!
STOP WITH THIS!
I'm sick of people comparing this shit to geocaching. The only similarity they have is using GPS. Geocaching is actually fun and involves nature and cool places and riddles and actual physical rewards and a better sense of community and feels like way less of a "fad" and is just infinitely more fun in general.
Pokemon is about rewarding an autistic need to "collect" something obsessively and finding a way to lure you out to businesses and landmarks to use a game as a marketing/surveillance/surveying tool. It's a money machine.
I fucking love geocaching, this cancer can't even compare.

Trading will result in a lot less activity from pogo players.
>>345088938
They don't give a shit about rural users. You aren't useful. This game is a marketing tool and a way to track people and get them to take pictures of things and farm location data for you.
That's why they're introducing sponsored pokestops soon. And just wait til trading finally hits.
>>345088901
Damn kid, get trolled harder l. Lookit all that nonsense you just typed up and hang yourself

Seems like this game is the ultimate p2w.
You need to buy a house in another place just to start playing.
>Tfw too afraid to leave the house
>>345089000
Only if you're referring to physical activity. If you mean it will start losing players I think you're wrong. I think once they add trading we'll see it become a profitable market like CSGO skins or TF2 hats.

I actually can't hang out with my friends any more because they just stand in awkward spots going "hurr hurr hurr bulbasaur hurr hurr hurr zubat" and swiping their phone.
I don't understand how something this normie is infecting people with a rapid lethal version of autism.
>>345089018
True.
What a disappointment.
I really thought this would be a great game I could play while running or hunting for mushrooms. It would encourage me to explore the woods and have a better awareness of the surroundings.
The egg hatching thing doesn't even work.
There's nothing I can do with this. Maybe if I am going into town to buy something I can whip out the phone for 10 minutes and catch some pokemon, but that's retarded.
I hope Blizzard tries to make something like this. They'll get it right.
>>345089060
It's alright man, for you..I would suggest driving out to your pokestop and walking around there trying to catch some stuff..probably walking back between the gym and the pokestop..then after an hour of that, go home and call it a day
>>345089253
Why are you hanging out with beavis and butthead?
>>345089351
Look into geocaching. Plenty of caches in rural areas because it doesn't rely on landmarks, just a hiding place and GPS coordinates.
Plus you get to find real physical items and if you find the bigger caches sometimes there's little trinkets you can take (as long as you LEAVE one to) to drop in later caches.
Sometimes you even find cool stuff like GPS "bugs". They're little insect shaped GPS trackers that people leave in caches. They usually have a name and where they started originally. You take it and put it in another cache and most of the time you can go to a site and enter the number on it and get the full history of where it's been.
Most of the time it's a tiny notebook to sign your name in and maybe a funny eraser though.
>>345089351
I think making pokestops only from landmarks was a mistake. Should've made them completely random.
I think they've just used an algorithms that finds pictures of stuff in the area and turns them into ones. That's why you have none in the middle of nowhere and a fuckton in a historical/tourists/campus areas.
>>345088448
This game is a fun time waster. there is not much though needed beside "Gotta catch em all!".
Even if you P2W you still have to move to hatch those eggs and goto different area with different Pokemon.
> NO one will care When the rare pokemon show up at the pokemon store, because that is expected.
>>345089552
They used the data from their old game Ingress. You can literally open Ingress and find all the Pokestops and even use it to pretty accurately predict where pokemon will spawn.
They literally just put a pokemon paint job on it and called it a day. You can even find pokestops based on old ingress data that's no longer valid, like landmarks or buildings that no longer exist or aren't what they used to be.

>>345088097
There is still a shit ton of people playing candy crush.
Sorry to ruin your presumption that popular games will just die out.
Stick you head back in that hole where it belongs.
>>345089552
They're reusing the database from their old game.
It's all user submitted stuff.
There's actually loads of spots in the nearest town. I could easily go there and catch all the pokemon I need since I counted like 20 spots in just a tiny area, but that's retarded. Absolutely retarded.
There's nothing where I live. I've looked. Nothing for miles.
If someone who played their old game had lived here there would be dozens of gyms here.
>>345078976
Fuck you I now wish we got a Digimon GO instead of this.
>>345089537
I'll try it, because this is just fucked up.

Can your shit posting ass be removed from the face of this earth? If you dont like the game dont play it. your opinion dosent matter. This obviously isnt for you. So you shouldnt be here in the first place.
>>345089875
Iirc people could sign up to be something like a moderator,and then those who were that status could approve/disapprove of something being a landmark in the game. They did it that way because they were being flooded with requests world wide. I think that was the case.

Still kinda hard to believe that they've mapped entire cities like that.

>>345090158
I believe that was the case. They use Google Maps obviously so I'm assuming they also take the reviews of places and levy that in. That has to be why there are so many churches and shit as pokestops, because you know some religious sperglords have to have left reviews on their local churches.
>>345063182
>causes tresspassing
how?
you can catch pokemons 15 meter away(even more), you don't have to stand on the pokemon you see on the map.

>HURR HURR THIS GUY IS SLIGHTLY LESS OF A FAT FUCK NOW THAT MEANS THIS GAME IS THE GREATEST AND WE SHOULD ALL SUCK HIS DICK!
When did we start rewarding people for doing things they should have been doing in the first place? Nobody pats me on the back when I wipe my ass after I shit, so what makes this fat fuck so special?
Fucking snowflake participation trophy generation.
And I don't need to exercise because I actually work for a living, which is why my BMI is less than fucking 30 unlike half the shits on this board.
>>345078976
I bet everyone in that bus applauded after that
>>345090158
I think they're all user submitted.
The pokemon stops in the nearest town are all pictures of stuff that was up only for a few days, like plastic snowmen that were there just for Christmas.
Some stops are pictures of graffiti.
It's all obviously user submitted stuff. There's no other way they could have such useless information.
It's not like Google street view picks up graffiti and names it accurately.

No one is rewarding anyone, you fucking faggot. Everyone has shit on this guy for playing a game that fosters socializing and physical activity. I'm just calling you a fucking retard because you're getting assblasted over people enjoying an app. Why don't you do something productive with your life instead of downing people that want to walk around and have fun? "Hurrr, me no need exercise, me have good BMI" that's how I know you're a projecting fatties who hates to walk anymore more than he has to just to go pee or shower. Get your life on track, faggot.
>>345063182
Has any other video game ever caused so much salt with people that don't play it?
>>345090330
Say that to my face not online and see what happens.
It's not too much to expect from the game to have randomly places spots and pokemon to catch. Is that too much to ask and expect from a pokemon game?
Blizzard would do this better because they have a track record of ripping off whatever is popular. They have the money, they have the manpower and I know for a fact that when they do their version of Pokemon GO it's not going to have problems with rural areas having nothing.
When they rip off this game it's going to be functional and it's going to have more features.
