A soldier played Pokémon Go while fighting ISIS in Iraq

>"Just caught my first pokemon on the Mosul front line by Teleskuf. Daesh, come challenge me to a pokemon battle. Mortars are for pussies," Park wrote on Facebook, referencing Daesh, a disparaging nickname given to ISIS.

He's good at multitasking. So what?

Seems like a pretty shameless attempt to get some extra clicks, OP. You're such a clever intern.

apex kek

That nigga got a squritle in the middle of durka durkastan and i can only get shitty pidgeys and ratatatas.

And they wonder how ISIS manages to sneak fucking bomb trucks inside military bases.

I didn't know they let soldiers keep their phones.

>So what?

What?

Reminder that our armed forces are part of based mystic.

Pokemon go is literally just pictures of pokemon floating on your phone screen. my gf plays it and i honestly dont understand what the fuck people are excited about. it seems like a shitty cheap little phone app. Its not even a game. why is it a big deal?

wasn't that war over like last decade?

This is fake
There is no multi use shadow under the squirtal
I don't even play the game but I notice that detail form the viral spam I see everyday.

quick reminder that it's officially out in NZ, AUS, and US. Either fake, or soon to be device-banned. Running risk of bricking his phone with sideloading.

its pokemon

POGEMOND AND AMERIGA :dDDddD

Okay, so say you're going on a 5km walk or jog.
This is something that encourages you to explore a bit, meet new people while doing so, and liven up your exercising a bit.

dude pikachu lmao
it's normiebait that will fade in a month, and if they don't improve the gameplay pokemon fans will leave it too

You realize that he could have been in the US a few days ago and downloaded it here, right?

Escape their real lives for a life they actually want

Collecting shit, everyone loves that to a certain extent. But unlike grindy mobage that only otaku play this app rewards you for being a normie that likes to go outside.

>be device-banned

>You've been a bad boy wanting to play our product so badly so we're banning you and preventing you to give us money

Yeah that's totally what a company would do.

Because people like collecting things even if its just something digital. Combine with actual real world exploration and teamwork and you have something regardless of how silly you think Pokemon itself is. Pokemon is just the reagent for the concept itself which is going to be big for this generation.

it's more about meeting other normies who were also told they should like [hot new thing]

user it said first pokemon
so that's his starter

That's pretty insightful. You should write a book about more things no one gives a shit about

d*ng mind if i use this as my gamefaqs sig bro?

>Say that to my face in game not IRL

It's been proven time and time again though, that the shittier you make a game, the more casuals it will attract.

Kills time anytime I'm not at home, and now I check it more than Sup Forums so I guess its got some upside

This is a stupid question but I just started playing and the only thing I can find around my home are ratatas, pidgeys, and other babby pokemon.

I'm guessing the better pokemon are in cities/populated areas, right?

not always. Just be patient and look your phone from time to time

did you ever play vanilla pokemon?

did you find crazy shit when you were like lvl 1-5?

ok, same shit here

>What are VAC bans

Normies still have a boner for gen 1 pokemon.
