Please let me vent this here.
I'm no Pokemon hater. Born in the late 80s, recently played 5th and 6th gen doubles and triples competitively.
Holy fuck is this shit retarded. Combat is literally poking the screen with your figer.
>people walking around like zombies, literally driving around parking lots looking at their phones
>I was running in the park (yes suspend your disbelief) and an employee on an ATV was driving on the sidewalk playing it
I can't wait for this shit to die
Thanks

>people walking around like zombies, literally driving around parking lots looking at their phones
This has literally been the case since smartphones became popular, it's hardly a new sensation
>This free dumb phone game that's not meant to be like the real games isn't like the real games!
>The real games stopped existing when GO came out so I can't play them anymore!
>The Pokemon games have all been basically the same since Gen 1! They've never overhauled the base concepts or mechanics, so it got boring.
>"How about we strip away literally every single mechanic besides capturing, move all the pokemon's stats into one single generic power stat, cut out 80% of the pokemon, and make it freemium with microtransactions?"
>OMG YES MY CHILDHOOD I LOVE YOU NINTENDO LET ME SUCK YOUR COCK
Why are people so retarded?
look on the bright side. A bunch of dipshits are getting seriously injured and possibly killed wandering around playing this game.
Darwinism and the like.
Pokemon Go is made for le 90s kids hipsters who don't actually like Pokemon.
>Pokemon GO is part of the main series of Pokemon games
Surely you're not this stupid, user.
You forgot the part where the grind is worse than any korean MMO could dream of
>400 candies to evolve a magikarp
Literally first time I post in a GO thread. I need a solid answer RIGHT NOW.
Do I download this shit right now or just wait for Moon. I feel like I'm falling behind everyone else even though I didn't want to play this shit
Go is more of a social app than a game. If you're fine with that, go ahead and get it since its free.
Does being out of the house playing on your phone sound good to you?
>yes
Play it
>no
Don't play it
there's not much to do it's basically who can play this game more wins. That aside it is fun to go around catching them and seeing what other pokemon people have stationed at gyms.
What the fuck is this autism? Why would you have to choose one of then, not both?
Jesus Christ just kill yourself
it's free, so there's no reason to not at least try it out.
Also it's not a regular Pokemon game in any way, and will absolutely not serve as a suitable replacement for Sun or Moon.
50. Not 400.
>employee on an atv
so what hick city do you live in user? bang any cousins today?
>Cherrypicked example which has the highest minimum power
The rest evolve with 100 candies at most which is 25 of a pokemon, not to mention getting a large amount of candies when hatching eggs.
Every thread is a hate thread. It's not going away until next month, just accept it and wait it out you fucking baby.
Magikarp is 400, but that's because gyarados has a minimum of 1500 cp
Basically what it comes down to is, do you like collecting and leveling pokemon through battles (main games) or do you just like collecting pokemon with friends irl (go, battles aren't worth mentioning).
This.
Everyone I've talked to playing this know the starters and Pikachu, that's it.
Kids driving around playing this game piss me off so much. Just fucking take a walk you lazy shits.
I feel like a walking pokedex. My friend last night literally ran up to me and my other buddy (among 20 or so people) screaming, "DUDE THERE IS A CATERPILLAR (he meant caterpie) OVER THERE!". The disgust from just about every long term pokemon fan was palpable.
I mostly agree. I hate to go "I need to see your gamer ID to see if you're a REAL fan", but this is getting ridiculous.
Thank you for your collective input kind sirs.
Ayy bruh real talk shut the fuck up 'fore I smack the shit outta you.
>tfw ive never played a pokemon game but like pokemon go
I want good pokemon too but all I get is FUCKING DROWZEES WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Ingress is a better game
Its about 99% easier and afster to get pokemon by driving than walking, though. They need to increase find rate when going slow
I can agree with this, I mean going to a popular shopping center where people drop tons of lures can net you fuck tons of pokemon for literally sitting on your ass. But walking seems like a terrible alternative to driving down main streets (NOT FREEWAYS) and/or riding a bike through a park at medium speed. The rewards are completely disproportionate.
No one will debate you. But that's only because no one gives a fuck.
>heading to mall with friend to see if there are any pokemon go lures down.
>drive by park with 3 lures active ontop of eachother.
>It's a fucking playground with a bunch of little kids there and their parents.
".... Yeah I aint going to jail for this shit"
>washingtondc.craigslist.org
Why is this allowed?
I don't think that was the intended point of the game though. Hell, even the eggs slow down their hatch time when you're going too fast.
Every trailer featured someone walking, skating, or something of the likes. The app seems to be developed and worked around being a fitness app. Fuck the driving fags
You're missing the point. It's not about the battle system. It's more about the fact that it's a social app. The best done apparently.
>looking at their phones
You are fucking retarded OP. The phone functions like a recording camera
Take your pills, Grandpa.
I'm more amazed that people are so retarded they need pokemon to help them socializing.
>Walking my dog outside through the words
>really not feeling it that night so
>Just Browsing Sup Forums while walking around
>notice there's a lot more people around than usual
>"HEY are you playing pokemon GO?"
>"N-no... just browsing my phone."
>"You don't need to hide it, we all are"
>"Uh okay but I'm not"
>They stare at me like I'm the retard for not playing
all it is about right now is collecting mons. more shit will be added to the app.
>they need pokemon to help them socializing
Just like people "need" drugs and alcohol to have fun, right?
BREAKING NEWS
A MOBILE GAME PLAYS LIKE A MOBILE GAME
more at 11
Those are equally retarded senpai but at least there's a biological reason as to why that works.
The only thing real, non-normie pokemon players like anymore is jerking off to gaping nezumi-tier vulpix pussy.
>Sup Forums defends mobile gaming now
What went wrong?
i had some normie kid give me dap bc i was walking my dog and playing pokemon.
everyone loves my doge
>everyone loves my doge
Oh yeah? Well I don't! Take that faggit
But it is the point when the vast majority are playing the game to catch pokemon, versus going outside for exercise. That is the byproduct, but putting in game mechanics that circumvent that seems to say otherwise about the intended goal of the game.
cut it out boy
When the temperature is in the 90s every fucking day since the app was released (and supposed to be in the upper 90s throughout next week), the only choice you have is to drive. It's tougher for me since I live at the end of the street in my housing development which goes downhill the further you go in. There are no pokestops here, and the nearest one is 2 km away.
>Tfw the last time I played Pokemon was original Red.
>Decided to hold out and wait for a Pokemon MMO
>Go is pretty close to a real world game plus light multiplayer/mmo elements hybrid.
>This is the first new pokemon game I've played since the 90's.
Stay mad.
I got what I wanted.
No one cares you fat fucking hipster, pokemon always remained popular. XY sold 15 million
>Decided to hold out and wait for a Pokemon MMO
mfw there are plenty of these around now. Pixelmon and pokemon3d just to name a few. Maybe not massive as a mmo can be, but servers support ~500 players concurrently if you can find one with that many people on it.
Dumb loser
you wanted a pedometer where you occasionally flick and tap the screen? damn it must be easy to impress facebook kids nowadays
It's not exactly what I asked for, it's a mix of a few ideas.
But going out into the real world to hunt pokemon is what I always wanted.
If only it had VR.
reporting in. I had only ever beat yellow as a kid. quit after that. i replayed yellow earlier this year.
playing this is grand fun.
very glad its only gen 1 for now
>Playing pokemon after 2004 literally made you a social pariah
>Not playing pokemon go in 2016 literally makes you a social pariah
I'm so fucking sick of this "i'm such a nerd XD" culture now. Started with those super hero movies and the big bang theory and now every chad and stacy is a "nerd" for playing a video game a half hour a day.
BAZINGA
>chad and stacy
You should kill yourself, /r9k/.
I live in Louisiana and it has been 90+ every day with shy tier humidity. Stop being a fatass
It's not so much to help them socialize. Think about what you do with friends when you hang out. Probably grab food or play vidya or go to the park. Pokémon go is just another day of vidya, day in the the park, or something to do on the way to get food
>Double and triples competitively
>Triple
>Competitively
This gotta be bait, no one is this stupid
>I have no friends to play it with
>The only people I know playing it are people I see on facebook
>And I'm not more than acquaintances with them so I can't play with them
>Let me shitpost about pokemon go
Guess I should have used Chad and Eric, the name of your two gay Dads you fucking faggot. You can go watch the new black woman Iron Man movie while you help resettle refugees.
>>people walking around like zombies,
still better than your fat ass whos 400 lbs shit posting on Sup Forums
I share OP's sentiments about the combat. It could have been so much more which is why I'm a little upset about it
>b-but it's SUPPOSED to be a shitty phone game
it's not like a phone is incapable of the simple pokemon move system. For christ sake it's only the original pokemon, and the entire original game can be emulated like it's nothing on a modern phone.
Hopefully this is just Nintendo getting their feet wet (yes I know it's by a 3rd party developer) and they come out with Pokemon Go 2 that is way more.
You know there are going to be updates, right? They prematurely released.
I heard that but I doubt they are going to add what I want. Have they said their specific plans for the future? I assume the updates is going to be bug fixes, adding new locations in more towns, and adding more pokemon.
>I refuse to do any research myself
>instead I will make up what I think the updates will be and be absolutely clueless
Are you autistic? Because that's something someone autistic would do.
The only currently known updates are fixing things like their dumpster fire servers, adding more pokestops / interactions and implementing trading. Things that don't affect the shallow, piss poor gameplay.
someone doesnt have his license, kek
Awwww some eeny weeny baby is pooping his Pepe diaper that he couldn't catch Pokemon or have friends to compare with.
Fuck off back to your pisschair you manbaby faggot
Same, we didn't take a stand when you-know-whats took an interest in our hobby. Now they are just going to pile in and sink that shit hard.
Enjoy your lowest common denominator popular interest SHIT games.
How does it feel to be the biggest faggot in this thread?
Ruthless
oh dear, some spaghettio vomit slurping jabroni is boasting about his pocketed monsters again
make the most of your time in middle school, milkman
Fucking learn to think for yourself holy shit.
I uninstalled the app a few days after downloading it. Now I'm just playing through Omega Ruby and waiting for Pokemon Sun.
HOLY KEK.
>mfw this fad is over in a month
>mfw it isn't over in a month
>b-but i said on Sup Forums...
fixed it for you user
Didn't Miitomo last a month before falling off? I think this has longer legs but not by much. Even if it doesn't fall off by then a large number of people who like this thing are going to drop it like fire when they start adding in anything past the original 151.
>game is released in states, shitpostland, new zealand, and jewmoney
>Not out in Canada
>Not out in fucking Japan of all places
Fucking nips
You know just when I start getting bored of Pokemon GO, I decide to turn it on while I'm driving and I always come across some badass pokemon that gets me excited and when I capture it, it feels so good. Like today I decided to open the app while driving home from work, and I came across an Onyx. Made me feel really good when I caught it.
THis game has some charm to it. It's less about fighting and winning gym battles and more about coming across pokemon from your childhood and the excitement of encountering and capturing them. My 2 cents.
I've read some comments the nips wrote; they're about to tear Nintendo and niantic a new asshole if it doesn't come out. Never knew they were that violent; kotaku did an article and someone pastbinned it. I can't find it at the moment though, the paste bin I mean
That's still a month of fun. Fads are nice to break up the boring monotony of life.
>mfw this becomes the next big thing after candy crush and clash of clans and angry birds
Live with it. Its dead in a month, these goldfish have no attention span at all.
and this is where you need to stay away from 4chin user, when you're actually having fun. when you aren't having fun and want to complain about every little significant thing, come back to us. you will be missed friend.
I'd believe it, I mean think about it. Japan is where the entire concept and resources come from, why the hell wouldn't it release there first like pokebank.
> It's ok when Nintendo does it.
Nintenchan is fucking cancer.
Don't worry, OP. It will die once new pokémon are added.
Honestly can't wait for it. Gen 1 is fucking overrated steamy normie shit by now.
This.
Nostalgiafags will scream and whine because they added all the "stupid new ones like the ice cream and garbage bag!"
Maybe you should look at the fucking road and put your phone down you dumb cunt.
Those are actually shit though.
But anything post Gen 2 will kill the game for Gen 1 normies.
you forgot the keys and fucken sword
"combat is literally poking the screen with your figer."
have you played that last few pokemon games?
