Apparently someone found Exeggcute in the supermarket, so I guess you can catch Pokemon while you shop! (Well, just a few Pokemon I guess)

Also I don't think I can play. My phone might be too old.

I blanked and didn't realize that the first Pokemon you catch is your starter so I picked bulbasaur instead of squirtle whoops. Also I think it's really cute that the pizza shop on my corner is apparently important enough to be a pokestop 😁 I'm def walking around everywhere tomorrow

Post by: KefkaticFanatic on July 07, 2016, 09:37:31 PM
Just dl the apk directly like all the cool kids did 3 days ago \ o /

Anyway it's ok, but actual gameplay requires you to wander around with your phone display on the app for extended periods, which will drain your battery tremendously fast if it doesn't just get you mugged or run over.  Either that or you can pop it open randomly and hope you get lucky or only open at small spots for tiny exp

Also no trading, friend battles, actual pokemon mechanics, etc

It's a neat distraction for the week but requires too much involvement to be a good casual game and is too simplified to keep your attention

Title: Re: Pokémon Go
Post by: TheDreamingHawk on July 08, 2016, 06:43:05 PM
Currently, my friend who's up with me in my vacation cabin downloaded it to his android phone on launch and let me borrow it for a bit to see how it works. Honestly, as I predicted it doesn't seem to be anything special. The idea of walking for Pokemon seems cool, but out here in this lame forest it doesn't even work well, and I don't mean the server issues in general, I mean simply getting a pokemon to appear. Both my friend and I have walked around the area for a good while and only two Pokemon have appeared, a Paras and Eevee. Both inside the Cabin, both only with incense. Zero Pokestops, Gyms or anything nearby, even though Niantic seemed to indicate there would be something for folks who are stuck in a secluded area. This of course means my friend is level 2 and stuck.

Overall, not really good impressions from either one of us, my friend being disappointed it wasn't like the trailer and because it isn't really doing anything in this area (even with 3G/Wifi access), and me being disappointed that the game doesn't even have anything to do if you don't live in a city. Hopefully they'll update with more stuff, but considering how they delayed the launch for the smaller regions who currently don't have the game, I feel that'll take a while. Still much better than Shuffle Mobile, though.

Post by: FireArrow on July 08, 2016, 11:21:14 PM
There's like swarms of pokemon on the street in front of my house, but when I walk into the nearby forest to try and find something cool I get nothing for 20 minutes striaght.

Like please, why are there 50 goldeens in the road but nothing beyond the pavement.
Title: Re: Pokémon Go
Post by: KefkaticFanatic on July 08, 2016, 11:42:36 PM
Aha, a street by me is full of small restaurants, has 3 gyms, and like 20 pokestops within 5 blocks.  Most everybody walking on the street was either actively or idly playing the game.  A bunch of people were laying down attracts on stops and just hanging out \o/

I'm glad that there's widespread usage, but people are actively griping about the bugginess and how there's no real interactivity between users.  I worry that they'll take too long to fix issues and add actual battling and trading and the game will be just as short lived as all of the other mobile game trends.
Title: Re: Pokémon Go
Post by: cashwarrior1 on July 09, 2016, 11:55:49 AM
That's why I don't think this game should be deliberately played. I feel it'd be more enjoyable as of right now to check it every now and then, especially when traveling.
Title: Re: Pokémon Go
Post by: Bubbles on July 09, 2016, 12:07:15 PM
Nah I think it uses too much battery for you to just casually check. Personally I think a big part of the fun is planning to venture out specifically to catch new Pokemon or battle and running into other people who are doing the exact same thing

I actually just came back from a bike ride with my friend where we went out exploring but it started pouring halfway out...check the forecast before you go out exploring kiddos

I'm thinking about mainly using Poison types, since all of my favs that I have are Poison type. The four leaders right now are: Bulbasaur, Arbok, Golbat, and Gastly.

I can't wait to find a Meowth or a Slowpoke or a Jigglypuff (or, in the vein of Poison-types, a Grimer).

I went to an opera performance last night and a group of teenagers sitting behind me were discussing the game, lol. They were joking about how they'd react if there was a wild Pokemon up on the stage. :P
I wasn't expecting so much excitement over the release of Pokemon Go! I wonder how the game will develop and evolve in the months and years to come.

I found that adding games to my phone does not work well for me, so I don't think I'll be trying this game (I'll stick to my Pokemon Picross for now). But best of luck to all you new Pokemon trainers! :D The social aspect of it seems pretty neat!

There are plenty of your type around the area. Now, I can rightly justify this, because I saw a Gym under Instinct's control just the other day (the one closest to the post office, iirc), but as I watched it, it was attacked & taken over by Mystic~

Hmm, just reading that article makes me think of all the different ways businesses could benefit from this game. Video game stores should totally purchase PokeStop locations from Nintendo!

(Sorry, kind of off-topic, but...) Oh wow, congratulations! I don't think I'll ever get that far, even though it is addicting. Picross is simply my go-to puzzle game. Hey, some do sudokus, while others crosswords - picross is for me ::).

It's too bad that they've taken this long and still haven't fixed any of the bugs/server issues.  The hype is noticeably dying and there are visibly less people playing.  Without big changes or pushes for new content soon, it's going to be like all of the other mobile game fads, where no matter what they can put out for it it'll stay stagnant until they just shut it off.

This is a really dumb way of doing it. Sitting at my house without any pokeballs or levels without driving 10 minutes to the nearest farming spot isn't gonna make me want to spend money, it's gonna make me want to quit the game.

What they should do if they want more revenue is stop giving out the extra things for free:

You shouldn't get lures or incesnse for leveling up.
Increase the potency of them.
You shouldn't get incubators for leveling up.
Allow players to buy permanent ones at a higher price.
Double the amount of pokeballs you get at each price range.
Triple the amount of stardust you get at gyms but don't give out coins.

There. Now the game doesn't flat out become unplayable if you both don't wanna spend money and don't live in a major city, but spending money should feel better spent.

Yet now? I wouldn't be surprised if this area doesn't even get the Paras and Eevee that usually roam here. I called it from the beginning that GF was looming closer to an age of greed with the free-to-play games, and it's sad to see a decent-looking F2P game on mobile go from delivering the message of unity to being another money-hungry scheme.

Yeah, sort of guessed this too. The game had a great concept, and was hyped (oh so naturally. Game Freak loves doing that, don't they?), but in the end, the game was just rather boring. If there was competitive battling, then maybe it would've lasted longer. Instead it's just a pointless grindfest, so I don't think it's going much further.

I ditto with this opinion, although I honestly thought the game would only last three days tops. Seemed like they had a good concept working until the update butchered it.

Also, an immature hacker went into the twitter account of John Hanke in order to demand a Brazilian release for the game. Disgusting.
