YouPorn admitted that Pokemon Go has been statistically more sought after online than porn. That speaks for itself on just how popular Pokemon Go is.

Pokemon Go has become more popular than Tinder, and is almost as popular, and might soon become more popular, as Twitter is. Thats pretty insane if you ask me.

Stopped reading there.

Emphatic yes.

For realsies, though, this build doesnt support much aside from experiencing continuous (depending on region) downtime, sparsely distributed gyms and stops (again, depending on region) and literally no functions aside from catching em all and kind of being able to fight randos by proxy. I imagine once true PVP is added and stability increased, the numbers of people sticking with it will raise and settle.

Besides, I dont want to play Pokemon with other jerks. I wanna catch me some pokemon and grind them against wild pokemon. Like, going full main series style sans gyms and elite 4, probably. I'd really like to have my starter be competitive, not just eternally boxed because I cant fucking find a starter to catch and use for candy/dust.

Found two gyms near me because I finally had time to take a walk. One's Antoinette's, an ice cream and candy shop in Depew acclaimed to be the pioneer of sponge candy.

The other is a park I haven't been to yet.

So, does anybody know how Eevee Evolution works... is it location based? Do you choose? Or is it based on your team choice?

I have no idea how eeveeluoutions work, but I've seen wild ones on friends phones. Ended up with a Flareon when I evolved mine, started with a Charmander. Good enough coincidence.

i don't see the appeal. the battle system is streamlined and crippled, there's no point sticking with a pokemon, and there's no battle system when you catch them.

it may as well be an app about an easter egg hunt. fuck this game.

Are you Team Valor?

I have a Bulbasaur, and since Gen 2 won't be released for a bit, I doubt starters determine Eeveelution

They may update it eventually for better battling, but they had to work out the bugs first no doubt.

As of now, I like to think of it as an tweaked Safari Zone. You didn't battle the Pokemon, simply threw Pokeballs at them.

I know the game mechanics are rather upsetting to dedicated fans but I still have fun with it.

Team Mystic ftw. I'd prefer a team Harmony, though. Lugia was the shiiiiiit. I started Gen 1 with a Charmander so I just rolled with it. I quit playing for a while till the bugs and better features get rolled out.

It crashes every time I tried to play it.
It took so much memory, I had to delete 3 apps, including my animation app.
It still didn't work and when I got the animation app back a project that I'd worked on all month was just deleted.

I'm actually not that big on this game, it doesn't have meaningful choices to make within its boundaries besides where you choose to walk, which is actually just a sonar mini game. The lack of battling in the game really irks me, gym battles are a joke tap fest that you win if you've walked enough.

It has an interesting game loop, but not one that's meaningful.

TL:DR
Pokemon go has an addicting game loop but nothing interesting or meaningful.

Twitter has like 300 million active users plus all that activity. Pokemon Go is bigger than that.

Businesses and shit everywhere are profiting off of it, a large subcommunity is profiting off it, in about two months, childhood health will probably profit from it. Its honestly weird how big it got in such a short amount of time. The Detroit Zoo knocked a bit off the tickets and set up shop advertising the number of poke stops and gyms this weekend and apparently they were fucking packed to the tits.

Meh. Servers suck, game is glitchy, it devours my battery life, but not sitting on my ass all night and getting out a few hours every evening meeting new people has been nice.

My poketrons; trainer level 17, almost 18.

Why would they get sued? Nintendo directly helped with this
