Pokémon Go!

[Jason Tandro]

Yeah that is lol. And the link you posted is online. Grrrr I wish you people lived closer to me, we could totally do like a TLS camp out where we go catch Pokemon!

Yes I'm 12.

 

[Tennyo]

You mean offline?

But it means that someone used an item on that Pokestop to attract more Pokemon to it.

 

[Shademp]

So much Pokemon Go on the webs. So little caring on my part.

The Internet right now:

 

[AvecAloes]

I saw one earlier while sitting in a cafe in NYC. I'll have to see if it's still all petaled up when I leave the bar I'm at. Caught a Pidgey at the cafe, though, hehe

Not out in Canada yet...

the struggle is real ;-;

I don't know who Philip Defranco is, but I did join Team Mystic.

HE IS THE GREATEST YOUTUBER ON THE PLANET. He does news stories daily and is generally an amazing guy. I've watched him for like 6 years now.

I feel a strange kinship to Jason now, as I've also watched PhillyD for years

The UK also hasn't got this yet either.

It looks awesome, but I'm not in a rush to get it. The servers are apparently up and down. However, it's a welcome change to see this on my Facebook timeline rather than Brexit for blooming once.

 

[Tennyo]

My little baby is all growed up

 

[Cat Rage Room]

It is absolutely insane how many people play this. Me included.

Me and some friends were at a park in Seattle, late at night, and my friend goes "Oh shit, an Eevee!" and some disembodied voice in the darkness goes "Where!?"

Long story short, we met like 30 people in the park spaced out over an hour, all playing Pokemon Go. Walked with some lady we met in the park, catching Hitmonlees. We walked back to our cars, saw people playing Pokemon Go. Some Chinese old couple saw us and laughed, said something in Mandarin, and waved their phone. I don't understand Mandarin, but they were probably playing Pokemon Go. Driving back home 12 A.M., saw people walking around playing Pokemon Go.

This is the greatest social experiment ever.

 

[Channy]

STOP BRAGGING. SOME OF US ARE MISSING OUT.

 

[Ami]

STOP BRAGGING. SOME OF US ARE MISSING OUT.

How about you and me go catch our own kind of Pokemon?

 

[Joe]

There's been an Eevee 'nearby' for the past 24 hours.

Where are you, you elusive fuck.

*bursts into the thread 4 days late*

Hello friends I too have been playing Pokemon Go

my only regret is that I'm missing my usb charger for my portable battery so that I can stay out longer hunting for Pokemon.

 

[Jason Tandro]

^ If you weren't playing Pokemon Go that would be the mother of all ironies, lol.

And yeah I got this little doohickey that acts as a car charger and a 2 hour power cell that I use. Hell even when my phone is plugged into a direct power source with a fast charging cable the battery STILL drains. This game is not easy on the old energy, eh?

By the way I caught a Drowzee, Eevee, Jigglypuff, Pikachu and Krabby all at work two nights ago. And my best Pokemon? a CP 198 Weezing.

TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

It irritates me that every time I load up Pokemon Go I have to go to the settings and turn on the option to save battery power. Update patch that fixes that, plz.

Also the other night, I was on the subway when I saw a Growlithe. I threw the pokeball, got Growlithe into the ball but the train went underground and I lost connection and Growlithe got away. Urgh, it makes me want to weep from frustration cause I haven't run into another Growlithe since then.

Reminds me of when I was wandering around a park last Thursday Night and I walked into a group of people who were all looking at their phones.

We all flashed out phones at each other and we all had Pokemon Go.

It's starting to be like a Shibboleth kind of thing now, just flashing out phone screens at each other.

 

[AvecAloes]

Got off the subway, immediately heard people talking about pokestops. Went to Central Park, messaged a friend about looking for Pokemon in the park. She called me IMMEDIATELY to say that she and several friends were also in the park doing the same thing. Met up and searched for more Pokemon. Left the park to go to a bar. Met a random person on the train she had seen playing Pokemon Go in the park. He joins us for the rest of the night out. Catch more Pokemon on the walk home, thanks in part to all of the incense hot spots that other people have used. This game is insane.

Also, joined Team Red. The silhouette was a hot lady, come on

I seriously wish I was making this up. A girl found a dead body while playing Pokemon Go. Here's AlphaOmegaSin for details.

 

[Shademp]

The second I read that sweet story by Eric Shields, I knew something horrible would have to come up afterwards. =/

 

[Interslicery]

Does that guy ever do a video on something good? Whenever I see him, he's always talking about bad shit, and complaining about things.

 

[JechtShotMK9]

In my old age, I had been considering getting into Geocaching.

But then this came out, and it's basically the same thing, but with Pokemon.

Why couldn't this have come out 4 years ago when I was in college, and travelling a lot more often lol.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Good to know.

What does it mean when a Pokestop has pink petals flowing out of it?

It means that there's a Lure on the Pokestop. It means that it attracts more pokemon to that location for about 30 mins. Similar to Incense, but for a set location.

I don't know who Philip Defranco is, but I did join Team Mystic.

HE IS THE GREATEST YOUTUBER ON THE PLANET. He does news stories daily and is generally an amazing guy. I've watched him for like 6 years now.

I feel a strange kinship to Jason now, as I've also watched PhillyD for years

I'm happy to know that I chose the same team that Philip DeFranco did! Huzzah for knowing more people who've watched him for ages!



I was out the other day with some friends, and my favourite moment was seeing ~30 people gathered at a gate trying to see a Polywhirl and catch it before it left. I'm hoping to be able to get out and about more often.

Holy shit I caught a Nidoking in my bedroom.

It's main attack is Fury Cutter and it has a grand total of a smashing...6 attack power.
(Its special attack, Sludge Wave is a lot stronger though, so I'm glad I wouldn't have to do something nuts like releasing it into the wild transferring it to good old Professor Willow.)

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Well, holy shit. My gf and I downloaded this. Instant addiction. We took our little boy for a walk to Walmart after, playing it along the way, and passed so many other people doing the same thing it's not even funny.

 

[Shademp]

I swear, there's got to be some global conspiracy with this Pokémon Go game. It just sounds too awesome to not be part of a horror story. Mind control? Skynet?

 

[Tashasaurous]

As much as this game is pretty cool to play with(along with the new Sailor Moon Drops IOS game), I hate to break it to you guys, but I heard in reports that four teenagers got robbed by thieves after being lured with Pokemon GO itself since they were lead to strangers' houses.

Not to mention that it's not a good idea to play the game while crossing the road.

Just thought I'd give you guys out there who have the game some warning.
