Vyree Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi, I think this is the right place for this thread. So has Pokemon go taken over anyone else's lives yet? I will be a pokemon MASTER I tell you. Although I do feel like a cheat driving round in my car rather than walking... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary drove around in his convertible... (and he had cheerleaders...) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Just watch out with the car driving. If you're moving more than 20mph, the app doesn't track your distance for egg hatching. Also, you know, pull over before catching Pokemon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I find it's easier to find Poke Stops whilst driving. Or, you know, just go to the nearest graveyard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyree Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I feel like my area is just full of Pidgie's and Weedles... It's making me loose hope of being a poke' master. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I don't personally play it, but I've seen it taking over the Internet and of course had to meme about it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 35 yr old here, never watched or played this but I got in on the action and captured Pikachu for 1st and a bird for 2nd. I've been walking for 2 days now and haven't seen another. I've got 0 clue how to play this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erai Sedai Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 love the game. but there's no pokestops near me. so it's basically unplayable now unless i buy more pokeballs. that, in my opinion, is a unfair disadvantage for people wo don't live near a city or shopping centre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I had to "pirate" the app, as it's still not officially available in Europe, but despite that, the city is full of poke stops, gyms and other people playing I think I'll get bored after two weeks, but for now it's quite fun I caught some fun pokemons, but not Pikachu :< Warsaw is crawling with Rattatas and Pidgeys... they're everywhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaimeleecee Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I am so obsessed XD its amazing.. when pokemon came out 20 years ago I was in elementary school and I was instantly hooked, I've played every game and all I ever wanted was to walk around and catch them in RL this is as close as I'm going to get I'm sure so childhood dream realized! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eki Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Being an active Pokémon fan, seeing this craze is very... odd. It makes me happy, though! But it's really odd to see so many people suddenly obsessed by something I myself have been fairly obsessed by for so long... And without the knowledge those years have given me. It's a very different experience from when Pokémon was completely new, for me AND everyone else. Like, I saw someone ask "Is there a rare Pokémon for every element?" That seems like a question by someone who thinks the Pokémon were designed for this game, rather than the other way around... and I'm not even sure what they meant by "elements" there. Types, I guess? But then, what about dual types? I dunno... For now, I'll enjoy being able to talk about Pokémon with random people and have them actually being interested. I even got to brag about my Pokédex from the main games to someone I had never met before! Oh, and about team Harmony: There are three teams in the game, based around the three legendary birds from the first generation. Some players have shown animosity to opposing teams (though most are just joking around), so some people decided to make an "unofficial" team to promote friendliness between the other teams. They based that team on Lugia, who (spoiler alert) makes the three birds stop causing chaos in the second Pokémon movie.

As someone who as always been obsessed, I am glad to see others embracing it. But it is bizarre to me at the same time, I work with teenagers and I had one tell me about "this new game" on Tuesday, and I could not stop laughing to myself. She told me how "apparently this has been a thing for a while, I had never heard of it before but this game is so much fun" I wanted to facepalm so hard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
