Pokemon GO

#1

Anybody catch 'em all yet?

#2

I did a background check on my current age first and nope.

Also, I'm on a third world island, so the app hasn't even surfaced here.

That's a pretty mean thing to call Manhattan.

#4

Not gonna name names but Aces blows at catching pokemans.

#5

I wish I could really play but I don't have a plan for my phone, I only can use it for wifi

#6

I caught a bulbasaur in my office yesterday, took me like 10 minutes of flinging pokeballs. Thanks, tutorial.

Me too.

Plus, I don't really live in the kinda neighbourhood where you can walk around with your phone out. I laughed when it showed me where my nearest Pokéstop is.

I used some incense or something that attracted Pokémon to me for half an hour, but I only caught one in all that time.

#8

This has lawsuit written all over it.

#9

Also this makes sense k

#10

I work at a gym.

#11

A Gym (Japanese: ジム Gym) is a place where Pokémon Trainers go to train their Pokémon.

#12

I hatched my first egg today. It was a Weedle

#13

Classic Tranq.

#14

#15

Anyone still playing this? The new tracker is awesome, totally worth the wait for the update.

#16

I don't think it's on iOS.

That can't be, since I use an iPhone. But maybe you have to have the most recent iOS update? Not sure.

#18

I read about what you're able to do on Facebook, but I don't have that feature and I'm updated.

Huh, weird.

#20

it's only working in metro areas.

Oh well that's lame.

#23

If I were like 15 miles closer to Boston.

#24

You should try it out when you're in a metro area. It's badass.

#25

I do play often. I go to Boston about twice a month, too.

#26

I need to play it more often honestly. Haven't been checking it enough!

#27

Going to NYC in January and February. Can't wait for central park

#28

For some reason that new tracking system was rolled out on the western side of the US first. I'm in Wisconsin and had to wait but I have it now. I wanna I say the Mississippi River was the cut off. I like the new tracking system but it only works for what's near a Poke stop. If there are no poke stops near enough it's back to the old way.

#29

I just got it yesterday.

#30

GENERATION TWO INCOMING BABYYYYYY

#31

#32

Oh that's right, I live on the west side of the U.S. now. Still not used to that.

Is tracking system back? I uninstalled it shortly after it was removed.

#37

Works quite well actually

Yes it's back. It doesn't show how many steps away a monster is, but it shows what's at the nearest Pokestops.

I agree that it works well. It usually tells me that the monster has fled but if you get there soon enough it's usually still there.

This past Sunday I went on a Pokémon Go meet up/gym battle with other players in my area and on the same team. Probably the nerdiest thing I've ever done.

It was interesting though seeing what some of the other players are like in person. All the way from the dorks who obviously still live in their moms basement, to professional looking adults to older, almost retiree aged.

Being able to take down an opposing teams level 10 gym in a couple minutes was fun

#40

That sounds like a lot of fun, Sorsha! What part of the country do you live in, again?

Milwaukee, Wi

#42

Ah-- somewhere biggish. That's how you made that happen!

#43

I do not play Pokemon, but I do live around the corner from this business:

He's an artist who does silk screen,commission art, tees, etc. He does art classes for local kids, too. I pass this building on the way to work every day. I thinkhe has all of the Pokemon painted on the building and he is a Pokestop.

That's freaking awesome! I'm pretty sure there's a regular group that gets together like that here in San Antonio, but I'm always so busy. One of these days maybe I can join them.

#45

Spoiler: show

And this is also freaking awesome. Love it.

That looks so cool!!!!

The synagogue where I work is a gym. For a brief shining moment I had one of my pokemon there, but I got kicked out. It's level 10 and on my team, so I shall likely never get back. Alas.

#48

Someone will defeat it someday, LoRab!

Sherry-- that's really cool!

I did something similar last month. Traveled to Sao Paulo and went to a VGC (video game championship), a pokemon tournament on 3DS.

I felt more like an athlete for doing that than in all the other times I tried to play sports, since I suck at them all. But pokemon is a strategy game, so that was an afternoon of thinking and trying to outsmart the same kind of dorks you just described.

I got second-to-last place in the end, but now I'm practicing to get better at it. My nerd senses are screaming, but so far I've been able to ignore them and keep playing pokemon.
