wasted Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I downloaded this game for my phone. But then thought fuck this. But actually everyone else (or quite a few people, sorry Jim) seem to be into it. I thought Facebook was dumb so what do I know. But this seems completely without merit. Don't you know there's a war on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I tried it, fully expecting to get on the hype train. What happened was, I went out for a 90 minute walk, found six basic Pokemon, three of which were the same, used up a lot of phone battery, unintentionally pointed my camera at a breastfeeding woman and promised myself I'd delete the app because it seems kinda boring and I don't feel like I've gotta catch 'em all.

wasted Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah I'm too lazy to go round chasing these emoticon things. I've got Pokemon shuffle puzzle quest. That's how motivated I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I could see this leading to virtual walking tours for tourists instead of feeding into people's obsessive nature of collecting stuff and bucket lists. I'm sure there's someone who's going to try to go around the world to set a record and have bragging rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan H. Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Very neat game I'm wondering what kind of staying power it will have though. After a little while I got burned out on it pretty quickly. Purely as a game, its mechanics and design is pretty disappointing, the charm of it comes from getting in touch with walking around and interacting with environments and locations you wouldn't typically interact with. I'm pretty active already, so I usually forget to open the app when I'm already out and about. There's just not enough Pokemon, not enough quintessential Pokemon features, like battling and trading with other players, and in fact you can't even interact with other players in the game in almost any way. It's a cool novelty, and hopefully is the prefix of future games like this with more features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Have there been any fatalities. I've seen a few kids down on the pier running around with a phone. Must be Pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
