Pokémon Go

YzGyz · 07-15-2016, 09:57 AM

Such a cool concept imo. It gets kids outside, active and exploring places.

I dl it last night. Simple game. You just walk, run, bike around the neighborhood, town or city looking for Pokémon to catch. There are training gyms and special "pokeStops" where you can fight other players pets, train, or collect free items.

Luckily for me, my hospital has a Pokestop and gym right night to it.

Whoot for me! And Yes, I'm an adult professional and yes I play Pokémon.

Hate all you want but I see families outside walking and catching pokemon; groups of kids riding bike catching Pokémon, joggers running 5am catching pokemon.

It's a lot cooler than angry birds or candy crush or whatever all those games are. The gyms and stops are city places like the library, historical sites ect.

I don't know what's worse, grown men playing pokemon or watching my little pony.

Crazy.

Buddy showed me a video today of some Pokemon thing at a park somewhere. Must have been a few thousand people at least. All bumping and tripping each other because they were running staring at their phones falling down like dominos lol

Heard Nintendo stock practically did a double though, so hey good on them.

Nintendo gained $7.5 Billion in 3 days after it was released....for a free app with no ads yet lol.

I was at a business lunch the other day and one dip$hit was on his phone the entire lunch playing Pokemon ... at a very nice restaurant I might add. And to top that, some other dip$hit came over to our table and interrupted the conversation to ask about his color or some retarded $hit

There's a time and a place for playing on your phone. I would say 8 years old is the time but to each their own. Some people need to get a clue though because work or meal time is not the place.

/rant ... sorry

LOLLLLLLLLLL!!!

I don't understand the hate towards Pokemon Go. JAR, I understand your lunch frustration, but to everyone else... This app gets people off their asses and helps make communities. A lot of people are meeting random other people and having real conversations with people they didn't know a week ago.

Might be dumb, but that's what makes America great.

How long before someone gets hit by a car?

Whatever floats your boat but whenever I see grown *** men playing this kid's game

It's going to happen. The same way texting and driving kills. We just don't hear about all of those, since Pokemon is hyped, we'll hear about those though

that kinda $hit comes down to taking personal responsibility seriously while operating heavy machinery. There is potential to kill someone whether you are playing Pokemon Go or reaching down to change the radio station.

That is still one of my all time favorite kitty gifs though

Widelow · 07-20-2016, 04:24 PM

I'm just concerned about the potential danger of it. (And pardon the low post count

) I almost hit someone pulling into a freaking parking spot this morning--they had both ear buds in and their head glued straight down to their phone. Had no idea I was even there, you know, in a supermarket parking lot.

I'm all for kids (or adults I guess) getting out and being active, just be aware of your surroundings.

For sure. But that's with anything, not necessarily just Pokemon.

Btw, welcome to the forum, don't be a fúckhead, have a good stay
