Between Miitomo (getting people to voluntarily build psychological profiles of themselves) and Pokemon Go (getting people to voluntarily give up their locations and general movement patterns) Nintendo have accomplished in 6 months what took Google and Facebook over a decade.

The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.
Today I heard the following yelled from a group of 5 teenagers loitering around the entrance to the zoo:

"Gotta catch em all...Just like herpes!"

I'm not entirely sure what that means, but this game will change the world.

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!

The US has a department of Fitness

It was founded on July 16, 1956

Axe this loving do nothing bureaucracy and give all the money to the Pokemon Go makers. Fire every motherfucker that works in this parasite organization and hire the Pokemon Go programmers to make rare Pokemon to be only available on hills, up stairs and after a 5 mile hike.

He's drifting off the hivemind course. This is serious business that should be discussed by the Elders of SAion.

Should the hammer be brought down, to stamp out such heresy or should we show leniency, in case he might take us into places uncharted?
Be there dragons there? Or colonies to be founded? Rich with vespene gas to be mined and interesting floral arrangements?

I started playing it and thought "no way am I gonna do this I'm almost 29 ffs"

then my girlfriend who is a huge nerd went running with the game and came back with like 13 pokemon, so we went on a walk to a lake and spent like 2 hours catching ratatats, sparrows and a psyduck

tbh we really enjoyed ourself and saw a lot of cool monuments that I never noticed before, I'm embarrased but liking the game

What are the odds Nintendo will sell pokemon locations to stores for big bucks? Think about it, it would be great. Yeah Wal-Mart, we will put a polemic in the back by the sweets, 50$ a month, for 100 we make it a rare one.... that could lure people into shops.

No need to thank me Nintendo.

The sad part is that I saw that article this morning and rolled my eyes. When I went back and googled "Pokémon go black men" to find out again, turns out a number of sites are running similar articles.

A smart hooker would find a street corner with a good Pokémon on it, so as to capitalize on the virgin nerd demographic.

I keep hearing about how Pokemon Go is making people walk more, so far I've just seen other people in the cars in the parking lot furiously tapping on their phones.


Edit: Although at the mall today, there were some people walking around hunting for Pokemon. For some reason people kept luring the poke stop that is too far outside the mall to stay in the AC. There are 3-4 other stops that are inside glorious air conditioning and plenty of chairs.
