Hey Hey Let's Go! 喧嘩する
大切な物を protect my balls


Seriously what is the point of Pokemon GO? It's just walk around town and hope to find pokemon to do what with? Nothing worthwhile. It's a loving trick game to make Nintendo relevant again and to trick the millennials to go outside and walk around and poo poo.

This was a Public Service Message - Stay the gently caress away from Pokemon GO.

Pokemon GO? More like Pokemon Go Away!

Incorrect, when I go outside, I don't want to see a bunch of fat fucks walking around staring at their phone.

No....it's so Nintendo can learn the location of all children and stunted manchildren over a given period of time, and then act on that.

Hi, I said nothing about Nintendo's intentions for themselves with releasing this game. I said it's a trick to make people go outside.

Of course they are going to use it to push advertising to your face in new and exciting ways.

I don't understand how they're tricking people considering they advertise outright that you walk around irl to catch the pokemon. There is no trick happening. They are upfront about what the game is about and how to play it and people willingly download and play it. You're a dumbass, op

My daughter and I walked around the neighborhood for two hours last night looking for Pokémon. We saw three others doing it as well and one guy on a scooter driving super slow with a phone in his face.

I downloaded this and thought it was a cool idea, here's a cute lil game as an extra incentive for me to run outside this summer.

Except I run around countryside roads while pokemons only hang out at walmart apparently so nvm.

Are the spawn locations limited? So you're not having these things in the middle of a military base or an airport or something like that?

I have a friend who lives in Baton Rouge who was driving around with her friend Friday night so they could catch pokemon, she drove the wrong way into a one way entrance at the bus station and freaked the gently caress out of the cop stationed there who proceeded to scream at them both, luckily they were both white girls so they lived

I took my dog out for a walk last night and saw a dozen people on the local college campus playing pokemon go, a small child was running around screaming "NEEEEERRRRD!" at them.
