Which team do I join?
>>27008853
Team mystic
Instinct
Valor for life little nigga
Valor
>>27008853
Valor for edgelords.
Mystic for nerds.
Instinct for manchildren.
I joined Red cause of tits.
Are you able to switch teams? Cause I kinda wanna see blue's tits.
Mystic is right choice
>>27008882
i really like this post
Change your phone.
Also valor because red is the bustiest.
Valor is best, team Instinct is team Group Orgy, Team Mystic is fucking dumb "Power of evolution" or some shit like that? What about the pokemon that don't evolve? You played yourself if you picked Blue really.
Mystic
So far it seems /vp/ is between valor and mystic.
Does picking a faction even do anything?
>>27008853
These are really autistic names
>>27008920
This is the best logo
>>27008853
>tits
Valor.
>>27008924
Kinda? I don't think you can fight gym leaders on the same team as you. So, there's that.
>>27008924
Last night there were threads dedicated to instinct. My town is flooded with mystic though, because sperglords love to feel like they're smart.
>>27008853
Blue or red, I went blue
Yellow is being hijacked by Reddit
>>27008946
You can, but you don't defeat them. Instead, you train them, making that gym stronger.
>>27009032
Does blue have tits?
Is it better to not control a gym and be able to fight at it, or to control a gym and out Pokémon to defend it but not be able to actively participate?
I haven't even seen a gym yet so I don't know how battles work or what you get out of them. Can you train even if your team doesn't own the gym?
>>27009045
Yes.
>>27009040
Ah good call thanks
>>27009055
You can't train at a gym if your team doesn't own it. You also get pokeshekels for free daily if you have a pokemon stationed as a defender of a gym your team owns + starpower or whatever it's called.
I think the factions should be:
>Valor-chan
>Yellow pansies-Reddit
>blue faggots-tumblr
>>27009092
Do the benefits of overthrowing a gym outweigh the time spent not controlling it if you pick a team other than the one that dominates a particular area?
How easy is it to beat a gym anyway? I hear it's as simple as dodging constantly until the opponent faints.
>>27009186
i just punched the shit out of a dudes golbat and then threw my cubone in
its not hard if youre stronger
>>27009202
But what do you get for winning? I'm assuming the worst case scenario and a gym you beat will be taken back within an hour.
Are the immediate rewards worth anything or is the reward literally just control of the gym?
CANDELA IS A NIGGER
AHAHAHAHA
servers are down?
I myself chose Mystic. Everyobe else around me seems to have picked Valor, though since all of the gyms are controlled by them. I just need to get off my ass at some point so that I take them.
>>27008853
Which one is the evil one?
That one.
>>27009228
controlling a gym is the reward, once you deplete the reputation of a gym it goes grey again and you can plant a shitmon there
every day you get 10 gold per gym controlled up to 7 for 70 gold a day
people in your clan can train and reinforce it while enemies can try to take it
>>27008867
>wanting to literally be a flying flamer
>>27008853
is valor a woman?
>>27008853
is there actual character art for them?
if so someone post it
can someone post a summary of what each team is about for those of us who live in the middle of nowhere and will never make it past level 2?
Red team. Join us and become a fucking red flamer.
>>27009448
She's a black woman
any pictures of what they really look like?
I have a gym right by my apartment that's run by Team Mystic.
Do I join Mystic and be one of them, or oppose my local gym?
>>27009549
Well you could either station yourself there and help the cause for loot, or fight them to make things interesting. My inner powergamer says to do the former, but I get the feeling the latter would be more interesting
>>27009517
im joining Team chocolate
Can you team change?
>>27009763
so you see my dilemma then.
I'm leaning towards just joining Mystic. Home team pride, or some shit
porn when?
>>27009841
No. But you also can't customize your trainer or trade Pokémon "at this time" so it'll probably be amicrotransactionin the future
I feel so behind. What even is this? I can't even figure out how to train my pokemon. How do gyms work? I'm just a ninny.
>>27010226
Related: how the fuck do I join a team? I am at level 5, IDK what I'm supposed to do.
>>27008853
The one you like. Which legendary do you like best? Which character silhouette do you like most? Who's speech do you like most, Breeding, Evolution or Strength? What colour do you like best?
>>27008920
Phone lockscreen now.
>>27010343
Ah, okay. I haven't found a gym yet, so I guess that explains it.
>>27010226
you have to catch mon of the same/related species to level them up/evolve. you have to tap to use a basic attack, and hold to use a special IF the meter is filled. swiping dodges
>>27010272
i guess it asks you at some point during play. just wait for it. maybe close the game and reopen
reddit is apparently claiming team instinct, so not that one
I'm joining Team Red, also how do I evolve my Eevee?
>>27010056
If I knew how they actually look like, then I would. Nevertheless making porn of silhouettes would be quite interesting.
>>27010450
We should go Valor then.
Valor = Strength
Mystic = Nerds
Instinct = Fags
>>27009151
Absolutely this
>>27010820
my nigga
>>27010849
>>27010839
>>27010820
>>27009151
So it's confirmed then
>Valor=imageboard bros
>mystic=tumblrtard SJW's
>instinct=fedora reddit cucks
>>27010892
and i man jesus fuck who the hell chooses a fcking Yellow team named Instinct. At least Blue / Red got that classic rivalry going.
I'm sure they claim its gold or some shit
Red=That kid who thought he was good at pokemon because he had a level 100 charizard
Blue=The hipsters that only play go because it's the fad
Yellow=People who actually play competitve and are competent
Get reked faggots
>>27008863
mystic as fuuuck
>>27008853
Zapdos is objectively the best bird.
Zapdos is the best of the trio, go Instinct
>>27010892
>>27010820
i chose yellow team because I like zapdos, i didn't even pay attention to the shitty names.
Pokemon Gang War when?
>>27010999
The amount of shit memes being spewed through you post makes me physically sick. Reddit isn't the fucking boogie man. Grow the fuck up. Reddit is shit, but not something you should completely avoid by making shit decisions. Yellow is clearly the best choice.
>>27010996
This is correct.
I joined Valor.
Turns out everyone around has joined Valor.
All the gyms are Valor.
I think we won the game guys.
>>27008900

t. Valorfags
Don't kid yourself Red is the absolute normie choice.
>>27008853
red for waifufags
blue for fedoras
yellow for fujos
>>27008853
Valor
>>27009244
What is your basis for this claim
#TeamMystic
>>27010964
I actually picked yellow because zapdos is more competitively viable than articuno or moltres
>>27008853
RED FOR TRVE WARRIORS
Blue for 4chan/Ingress nerds
Yellow for reddit nerds
IS THERE EVEN A CHOICE?
>>27008853
I chose Valor becausemy favorite color is red
Team Mystic:
Team Euphoric, muh wisdom, muh coolness, not fiery hot or passion, enlightened by my intelligence
Team Valor:
Bro do you even lift, strength man hurr durr brofist normies the weak should fear the strong
Team Instinct:
Follow instincts, don't believe everything they hear. Not ultra competitive but still have a fighting spirit. Play to have fun, pick superior version (Yellow) over Red and Blue. No lingering nostalgia goggles for the first games colors.
>>27011933
>trying to make valor look inferior to instinct
>fail miserably
Reminder that V A L O R is the unofficial official team of Ben "6 Million More" Garrison and President Donald J. Trump
Mystic is Griffindor
Instinct is Hufflepuff
Valor is Slytherin
>>27008895
Shit, this is a hard one.
Which choice is the least autistic?I'm gonna go with Valor
>>27011933
>the weak should fear the strong
Literally nothing wrong with this, my yellow friend.
Team Mystic sounds like a bunch of joyless chodes, but I almost always pick the blue game when it's an option... I'll probably see what my friends settle on, but I'm pretty sure I heard one of them say Mystic already so it might not matter anyway.
>>27008853
Do they actually have art, or are they just colored silhouettes?
>>27012232
their art is a logo of one of the bird trio for each team.
What do teams actually affect? Anything?
>>27008853
Is the Mystic leader a guy?
>>27012298
literally no difference
>>27012298

what do?
>>27012421
find the nearest gym to you. Join whatever color it is. Become a gym trainer.
>>27012330
Another falls from grace. RIP this anon for not choosing Valor, the official team of respectable men
>all the teams in my are are blue
>choose red
Oooo boy here we go
>>27012519
GOOD LAD
FIGHT THOSE BLUE SHITS
>>27008853
Team Mystic, given how many churches are gyms it's the most hilarious.
Someone want to check if westboro baptist church is a pokestop?
>>27012571
Checking out their leaders ranging between 100-160cp, glad i've got that 207 ratticate :^)
what do the numbers and bars beside attacks mean? i was thinking the numbers were power/damage, and the bars were like PP, not sure though
I got to LV5 but I haven't been asked to join a team yet. Do I have to go to a specific Gym or is it that I'm Canadian and the game hasn't 'officially' released yet so the servers aren't seeing it?
>>27013216
Just go to any gym and interact with it to prompt the decision
>>27013308
Okay, gotta find a gym then. Makes sense.
Joined team Instinct because Zapods is my favourite.

so judging by the silhouettes, red is the only one with tits? that's what I'm joining then
Are you blind? Do you really think blue one is a guy?
>>27014981
Blue has them too but they're deliciously flat.
>>27015005
I didn't say they were a guy, I asked if they had tits, and according to >>27014993 it's dfc shit. so red is the only one with tits
How do I join a faction???? Im already lvl 5???

>>27009517
eww, red descarted
I chose Instinct because my first pokemon game was yellow, my gameboy was yellow, and my first pokemon was a picachu, both in Game Boy and Pokemon Go. Sweet.
What do the leaders actually look like? Do we know?
>>27014993
How the fuck can you tell their genders? I can't tell shit from just sioulettes
I'm more cut out for Mystic, but I think I'll go with Valor anyway.
Better dead than red
Communist sluts
I only chose blue cuz Articuno is my favorite bird
I don't know why valor is the best but it is and that's why I chose it
>>27011043
>Yellow is clearly the best choice
sounds like reddit to me
Zapdos is the best bird of the trio so that one.
Do I ever see that silhouette again? Are those 3 like team leaders or something? Red looks cool but I don't want a woman telling me what to do *tips fedora*
>>27016069
Check the hair and the boobs.
It's easy if you aren't an autist.
Mystic or you're a fag. Best bird for best team.
mystic bc ice bird is best bird
my whole office on UCF campus is going MYSTIC

https://m.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4rgfwi/new_team_poll_instinct_mystic_or_valor_link_inside/
Are there plans to ever add anything beyond gen 1?
>>27018140
From what I understand it might happen but it's low priority.
Red is the niche choice, the normie decision is to flock towards "mystic" or "instinct" since Valor is a trait that doesn't resonate with shut-ins and Moltres is an unpopular bird. This makes Valor an interesting pick because it will probably be the least active playerbase - meaning you can be a lone wolf edgelord.
I can't decide, help me
Yellow was my first Pokemon game, but blue is my favorite color.
What do?
>>27018434
Follow your heart
>>27018434
Go red for the H O N O R
I don't understand why Moltres is so unpopular, it's my favorite pokeman of all the pokemen.
Zapdos looks ridiculous and Articuno is ok but not quite as badass.
>>27008931
Just to match its fanbase.
>>27018247
Around here red is the normie/casual majority though a group of blues have been taking ground all morning before the servers went down.
Yellow was the underdog but had nothing but memesters with shitty pokemon.
If you want to be a lone wolf the best thing is to scout out your area though before you hit 5.
>Go beta

>>27011024

Just going off my own instincts...
>Red - "Can't believe they brought Pokemon back can't wait for me n muh charizard :)" normies
>Yellow - Reddit and little kids who like Pikachu
>Blue - /vp/and deviantart furries and tumblr
How on the money am I?
>>27018619
If it's body weren't yellow it'd be a lot more popular i think.
>>27018827
It's the sun bird.
>>27018619
As far as fiery phoenixes go, I like Ho-oh more, if only because moltres kind of looks like a shaved chicken.
>>27018807
My initial gamble was similar,but I figured the Deviantart furries would surely go for Team Red for muh nostalgia xD xD and/or Yellow because muh wolf instinctsBlue being the tumblr pick team seems like it'd be right though because muh strong woman and muh blue colour scheme; it might actually end up being the more chill side of tumblr, though, honestly.
I'd think the more tumblrina ones would avoid Yellow like the plague because it's led by a patriarchal shitlord and flock to Red because Valor leader is a POC woman
>>27018619
Moltres and Articuno are both awesome in my opinion, pretty equal. Zapdos is a fucking abomination and I have never liked it.
Picking yellow because Zapdos shits all over the other birds
Also I'm surrounded by red and blue so I don't mind being the sole Yellow rep out here
I went blue just because I love Articuno.
>>27019015
how can you tell she's black if it's a silhouette
Help me /vp/, I really can't decide!
>blue is my favorite color and Articuno is my favorite of the bird trio
>live in Florida which is lightning capital so Zapdos is kind of like our state legendary and I do enjoy bike simulator
>valor's view of strength and raising pokemon are most inline with my own and fire is the closest thing I have to a favorite type
What do?
>>27018807
>>27019015
Furries are full of failed normies who will jump on the nostalgia boat, but "muh breeding" is going to draw in a ton of them. Combine that with the "animal instinct" stuff and yellow is the pick for them.
Tumblr is a huge mix though. There's a bunch of normies and "so nerdy" people who will probably go red. Otherkin might go yellow for reasons above. Will probably draw in some blues though.
The big group I see for blues is going to be shut-ins, socially awkward people, and "intellectuals" who are picking the "smart" choice since Mystic talks about research and blue already has connotations with intellect and such (just look at MTG).
Should I go team Mystic Blue? All the gyms around me are owned by Valor Red and Instinct Yellow, I want to actually own these gyms for the defender points. I'm in NYC btw
All this discussion makes me wonder about the team disparity back home
Military base and all that
wouldnt know there are teams, since nintenshit knocked all the sattellites out of orbit to disable the connection to the servers
fuck this game, i need a ps vita
>pick Mystic
>the people here who also got the game earlystuck in Canada, not out yet technically or somethingalso picked Mystic
>there's like one or two gyms owned by Valor
>Instinct doesn't exist
I can't wait for someone to wreck their little shitholes so I can PERMANENTLY lock these gyms down for myself.
>>27019137
Reports were that she's a black chick; maybe I'm wrong
>>27019138
What's the majority in your area?
>>27019215
Seems about right
This is going to be even more autism, but from hearing the descriptions in this thread the teams remind me of the Fallout 4 factions. Red = Brotherhood, Yellow = Railroad, Blue = Institute. Eh?
>>27019445
Seeing as the brotherhood was the least shitty faction, sounds about right.
>There are people here who aren't joining the blue team in the name of Blue and/or Gary Oak
>>27008853
Instinct.
blueautists and rednormies can't compare.
WHICH ONE IS THE EDGIEST ONE?
ILL PICK THAT
>>27019729
instinct
>>27019819
ARE YOU SURE??????
Let's settle this shit:
http://www.strawpoll.me/10690786
>>27019858
who told you instinct was reddit?
>>27012298
They are actually important if you wanna hold a gym with your irl bros. Team affiliations can add a pokemon to that gym, so instead of your one pokemon defending your friend can add his on their, too. That was it won't be 6v1
Valor. Just look at that skirt.
>>27019858Blue is leading the Reddit polls

Team Mystic Fags in a nutshell
What type preferences do you think the majority of each team's members might have, /vp/?
RED TEAM
>Fire, Ground, Fighting specialists; Dragon, Psychic, Rock, Poison? users
BLUE TEAM
>Water, Ice, Flying specialists; Psychic, Grass?, Poison? users
YELLOW TEAM
>Electric, Ground specialists; Rock, Bug?, Fairy? users
ALL
>Normal, Dark, Steel, Ghost? users
someone help me out here, this feels off in a few ways
>>27020409
Choosing the team of your squad is the most important thingeven if it means picking a shit team
>>27020532
I've always used hail based teams back in gen5 before i quit. I also have alot of social anxiety. Now you're saying blue is the most normie choice?
>>27020284
>gender ambiguous
I wanna smash that boipussy heel wearing thang
>>27020594
This isn't your tumblr page, friend.
>>27008853
Join yellow, its literally run by an Aryan that wants to breed out weakness
Whatever team is the least represented in my area so I can fuck everyone up and be the very best
Fuck teams
>>27008895
I choose manchild. Zapdos is the shittiest bird, and electricity is a crappy type, and yellow is a dumb color, but this team makes me rock fucking hard and if you can't get behind that you're a goddamn pussy.
>>27009151
Red is most normie because most normies played red and like the edginess of "da phyre".
>>27019219
But you can be that guy on team blue that takes all of their gyms with your superior evolved pokemon. Most of my area is team red and yellow, so I went blue.
>>27020594
Red is the most normie choice; he's trying to smack down Bluebros as "huhuh frost power so intelligent."
Because he's a buttblasted Yellowfag who'd rather "breed" his enemies to death instead. Or a Redfag who's upset that his frat buddies were too stoned to take our gyms.
>>27011535
None of those arguments convinced me.
Even more, half of those arguments are not even arguments.
>>27012325
laughed harder then I should have
>>27020797
le gem right here
Yellow because Zapdos and because Yellow is undeniably the best Gen 1 game. Normies will pick red because Le Charizard and edgy while neck beards choose blue because it strokes there intelligence boners.
>>27009151
I think blue is also being picked by a lot of Ingress players because that game has a blue team too.
>>27008853
What the fuck is with Mystic's belt?
>>27010272
To pick a team, go to a gym and tap on it, it'll bring up this big spiel and you'll get the choice.
>>27012085
Not even close you faggot.

Everyone just uses the highest cp pokemon they have.
But when I have a choice I like fire, ground, bug, psychic and dragon and I'm valor.
ez
>>27021304
Of course, of course; the question was of the hypothetical general preferences of the individuals who might pick (x) team, on the grander scale of things; it's kind of stupid but it was a somewhat interesting thought
I'mMysticand like myBugtypes as much as I like myPoison and Grasstypes
>>27008853

>>27021386
REMOVE VANU
>>27021111
This, red is the color of casual normies and hipsters who come in swarms. Probably starts with charmander nostalgia and then their whole social circle joins in as the same color.
I just picked Mystic because Articuno is my favourite legendary bird.
So why doesn't the game work in Japan?
You'd think this would be the first place they get working.
