Why do normies like phone games like Pokemon Go so much?

Why do normies like phone games like Pokemon Go so much?

Is it because they're not real games?

Its because theyre social and something you can do while living your regular life, and facilitates small easy chat among friends.

It's to trigger spergs like you.

dude pokemon lmao

is a fad

"WHOA DUDE, I'm 30 years old and remember playing Gen 1 Pokemon back in middle school, but then I moved onto another fad and stopped caring. Wow, with this phone app it's like I'm a Pokemon trainer! That's neat, I guess. I'll walk around town and pick up a few."

That's literally it. This will not last.

because i'm such a 90s kid and i love pokemon XD

What games do you play OP?

Let me guess, you play Betheshit like Fagout and Underage Scrolls.

Real games are too tho.

I wonder if it's because micro transactions with real money make it easier for normies to transition into vidya because they struggle with abstract thought.

>boohoo Pokemon is popular now

Say that to my face in the park and see what happens.

What games are those? Sounds like degenerate weebshit

dude normies lmao

Sorry I triggered you Todd.

How does this belong on vp? It's a general discussion not specifically about Pokemon you fucking spergturd

I think the reason so many people play it is because they where the kids that played pokemon when they where younger but never understood the resistance/weakness aspect as far as types or the stats factor. This game eliminates that and gives them the nostalgia factor without their having to be any strategy or thinking involved. Not that pokemon is hard anyway but this dumbs it down even more. And don't get me wrong, I've walked around my city with friends looking for pokemon and talking, but honestly when I see videos of people parking their cars and running through central park to catch a Vaporeon, it makes me a little concerned for the welfare of our species.

Are you 12?

The only "real games" that are as easy to integrate into your daily life outside of being at home are handheld games, which this generation have done very poorly.
The Vita, nothing needs to be said. Sony only appeased to niche audiences who enjoy japanese genres, and it's succeeded within that small but passionate demographic.
The 3DS has done better and had more variety but slow and obscure releases with little fanfair, most non-enthusiasts don't know much about it due to Nintendos bad marketing.

Your point about abstract thought makes little sense, since many larger home console games also include these practices and make lots of money off the "core" gaming audience using them. Likewise, Pokemon Go can easily be played and enjoyed without spending any money at all.

Normies like it because its cute, simple, and everyone within the most recent generations knows about the original pokemon.

Yes, that's exactly the reason.

Those disgusting subhumans trying to look like rich white people

How long till normies move on to next fad?

nyc fag here. you got it wrong buddy.
rich white people try to look like them cause they have no personality.

If a war breaks out the weak will soon be weeded out anyway. Even with guns and bombs involved, only the strong will survive

Especially so if a nuke is used, only strong humans will be able resist the secondary fallout effects

when they go past gen 2

I know you've only ever lived near shitskins but I can tell you, as someone from a civilised location, that you're wrong. Those right there are white people clothes which have been co-opted by shitskins

It's because it's easily accessible to get from the app store on their phones and

Yeah but he's not wrong. Middle class white people have no personality at all. It's why they're notorious for stealing everyone else's culture.

Real games just aren't worth the effort sometimes.

I have to block time out of my day to really play a game. Time where I have plonk myself in front of a screen for extended.

The more fun games are the ones with more depth, where it takes a significant amount of time to master the mechanics.

But the time would probably be better spent doing something else that's both fun and has a practical use.

Things like Pokemon go are incidental to the rest of your life. You can whip it out whilst you're walking to the supermarket to make it a little more interesting.

I love the medium, but these days I only ever really play co-op games with my girlfriend. That's more about being an activity we do together that it is about the gaming. It's a recent, tangible and sudden mindset shift that I never thought I'd have, but I can definitely understand.

tbf anything past gen 2 is trash anwyay

It's a game, people get into it. Not sure why all these boomer faggots are crying so hard about it. It's a better way to spend a summer night than watching NCIS and lamenting over how your children hate you for being a miserable fuck.

The autists here hate it because the normies are big into it. Big deal. It's an enjoyable game that can be easily expanded on in terms of both pokemon you can catch and gameplay mechanics. If they're smart, they'll release gen 2 and pvp around winter.

People have been calling Pokemon a fad since 1999. The game will pass, but definitely not overnight.

Also, the gyms feature type weaknesses.

cuckold beta male/shitskin detected

whites have le no culture T_T

gen 4 and 5 are the peak of pokemon games though

It gives the impression of the 90's

Invalidated your own point with this cancerous post.

It's utterly pointless though. I don't need a videogame to get me to go outside. Not to mention nothing happens in Go outside of a Pokestop which is usually some beat up community centre, ghetto church, rundown pub or a tiny park. Why do I want to go to these shithole places?

how can Pokemon Go even be considered a game?

its really just an interactive thingamajig

No I didn't

Try loosening Ahmed's cock in your ass for a while and you might learn to resist the brainwashing that makes you hate your own country and culture

Stupid cunt

I'd call it an app rather than a mobile game

It's part of Nintendos plan to takeover The west. making people go into ghettos for pokemon where they will get mugged and murdered. Soon only the apes
Will be left and glorious nippon will cleanse and repopulate.

That's true I forgot about the gym. Also there's the whole leveling just by catching the same pokemon thing. I think the game is kind of stupid but it doesn't really piss me off that people play it. I just don't understand how people get so into it and act like it's the second coming of christ.

This is the perfect time to pair with the boomers and usher in a new world order while kids are distracted by pokemon

It's fun to socialize.

You sound like a closet homosexual. Are you the next Pulse shooter?

Nice projecting

Lol ok faggot, no one will take you seriously with the way you write. Luckily summer will be over soon and you can back to school.

Because white people evolved past the need to cling to muh culture. We integrate and sample everyone's. We treat everyone with a modicum of intelligence and respect.

It's the other races that expect everyone to kowtow to their culture ad then get butthurt at white people "appropriating it."

If it wasn't for white people the fabled liberal notion of diversity and integration wouldn't be possible because everyone would stay in their own little boxes.

In short, white people are the mayo that hold the sandwich together.
