Just saying I'm not making fun of people for liking Pokemon, I'm making fun of them for hopping on a mega fad bandwagon just because it's cool so yeah I am bitching about a fad, guilty. And no I just played Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver, didn't touch cards or later games (yet anyway, X/Y and Sun/Moon sound cool) yeah i beat blue and i played silver all the way to the final fight against RED, then my gameboy color and pokemon silver, and a couple of my more valuable cards, all just disappeared one day and I know it's one of like 3 people, one of whom i'm still in contact with and i swear if i ever get a confession out of him i'm going to brick his house at least. But I got really bored with pokemon, someone literally gave me Ruby for free, i played it on my DS a little bit before realizing it wasn't for me. I know gently caress all about the 3ds games. Last one i tried to play was X or Y but nintendo is really good at making the most irritating time consuming introductions to video games that i have not left the starting town in a pokemon game in at least 10 years.

Why yes I'd love to play a soulless nostalgia cash-grab that tracks my location and drains the gently caress out of my phone battery. I am a (wo)manchild who still likes Pokemon and this still seems completely pointless if you have access to the real games. Or hell, even an emulator of previous generations.

^^^ When I heard the other day that you could transfer Pokemon from the 3DS digital download of Blue to the new Sun/Moon games it got me into it again. I just got into Saffron city on Friday so Pokemon go coming out could not have timed itself better. So right now I'm playing Blue, and I'm playing a VR simulation of Blue in the real world haha. This is so insane.hemophilia posted:yeah i beat blue and i played silver all the way to the final fight against RED, then my gameboy color and pokemon silver, and a couple of my more valuable cards, all just disappeared one day and I know it's one of like 3 people, one of whom i'm still in contact with and i swear if i ever get a confession out of him i'm going to brick his house at least. Yeah the fact that only (I think) the first 151 Pokemon are in this is right up my alley because those are without a doubt the most familiar to me. And my wife was just chatting me (we work for same corporation) saying her girlfriends up there are trying to get her to play too. My wife, one of the most anti-pokemon people out there, was asking me if a Meowth or Persian was very powerful because they look the cutest. I give this game a lot of poo poo but man it's 110% magical in the things it's doing. These next few days/weeks should me drat interesting.

I suspect i'll get bored with it, but whining about location tracking when theres a non zero chance your phone came rooted with tracking poo poo from your provider, and 95% of the apps on the market use it for something, is kinda dumb. Also I haven't seen a reason to spend money yet, it's mostly an excuse to go outside and maybe walk off my fupa.

how long until businesses can pay Nintendo to spawn a bunch of pokemon near their business like in the playground at McDonald's or in the parking of a used car dealership

so what makes this game good or fun? seriously? if it weren't for the "pokemon" name slapped on it, the game would be hot garbage? is the gameplay fun? are there interesting/unique quests and objectives? no. its like someone took foursquare and spattered pokemon cum all over it to get insipid manchildren and real children to play a very dumb and watered down version of an augmented reality game that failed years ago because nobody played it because the premise was dumb. this whole thing will be gone before the end of the year save for a few stalwart die-hards that never give up on anything regardless of how stupid it is.

tomstuart posted:so what makes this game good or fun? It's basically 3/4 of a handheld pokemon game in real life. The appeal is it mimics being a real trainer in the pokemon world, and yes, that's appealing to anybody who at any point enjoyed pokemon. The problem is that 1/4 of the experience is the more significant part, and it's stripped out in part to monetize a bunch of dumb poo poo, and that sucks, but it's a problem endemic to all mobile gaming and if I could find the guy who figured out how to monetize free-to-play like this, I would skullfuck him with a brick or something.

I'm glad Nintendo's hardware is failing forcing them into other platforms. Maybe after their next console blunder we'll finally see Zelda and Metroid on a good system.

Pokeoman can't be cool because it's more than a generation old. Seriously who ever heard of something being cool across two generations? Kids today playing Pokemon would be like me playing Mystery Date while wearing bell bottoms.
