Title: Pokemon Go
Post by: NintendrCkolc on July 10, 2016, 07:26:23 PM
So I'm sure all you fags are playing Pokemon Go right?

You know, the latest meme game that all your friends are posting all over your facebook newsfeed?

Well so am I. I just kinda started though and I'm barely level 5. Any of you have anything worth sharing? Post screens if you can.

as a fan of the game "Go" I'm concerned that this will make it even harder for people trying to google information on it

this is a really nice game.

i remember reading your old ''fly comics'', where a pirate was teaching to ZL's fly how to play a game of GO.
it is a very interesting game.

the pawns+the square area reminds people of checkers/chess, but it is played in a completely different way.
its like math, only its actually fun.(because math equations suck tbh)

I started yesterday but I am a lazy hermit so I don't know how far I'll get. I've never played a Pokemon game before, so I'm sure if I ever face a real person I'll get my ass handed to me.

It's not out in the UK yet, and they're banning people's phones who try to play it.

I wonder what happens to an american on vacation there who uses the phone. Would the GPS in the UK get them in trouble, or would they just be like "oh, sirry american"

No, but to be fair what i read i makes sense cutting so much of Ingress functions for Pokemon Go to appeal to a larger, non-gaming, community.  For instance my coworker is really excited that he can fight other people in this game. Apparently he has never played an multiplayer game in his life and this feature is new to him. i work in the sport (football) industry with a lot of jock like guys who think everything fantasy/sci-fi/games/comics etc is nerdy (i'm literally the only one watching Game of Thrones in a 100+ people company with people aged 20 to 40 max). What makes Pokemon a hit is it's limited options and everybody here i playing it. The fun part is that they have no idea what Pokemon are  considered good/cool/rare in the Pokemon world. I told them my house had a Dragonite and they responded "oh i don't have that one yet, is it any good?"

dragonite reminded me of this comic:

guys, i know that CWC sucks, but this is a really cool comic, if you like inside-jokes+pokemon stuff.

The game is super buggy on iOS. Lots of freezing up and having to restart.

Not to be the old man who hates fun, but I feel like the advantages to having the program just not work from say 11pm to 6am really outweigh the disadvantages

My old ass phone can't run the game. I saw a lot of parents out this past weekend playing it with their kids at the waterfront, which is pretty sweet I think.

The game seems more stable with the latest updates, and I've got a modest collection now. Is the only way to power up CP by blowing your stardust wad? Everytime I stop at a gym these kids are batting over 1000 CP.

Appropriate here as well, even though Pokemon Go is currently as dead as we are nine months out of the year
