Aside from the retardedly enormous amount of bugs they launched with (despite beta testing for months and apparantly fixing NOTHING from the beta testing), they gutted the gameplay of pokemon out until its not longer even a pokemon game. You literally just throw balls at shit and look at pictures. No battling pokemon, no leveling by fighting pokemon, and the pay2win is abysmal. Actually, gameplay pretty much makes no sense at all and the interface is complete dogshit. No tutorial on wtf to do (since its no longer the same pokemon game we all know and love) and no menu to even change settings or create a new character with
I went into this game with high hopes really wanting to love it, and just cant bring myself to accept this heap of shit as a pokemon game. This third party company literally just slapped the pokemon name on a free2playbutpay2win model and exploited it. If they had made this game right, i gladly wouldve just forked over the money to own the damn thing, but instead, they took a game that was already casual friendly and made it even more casual friendly my literally removing all of the gameplay and reducing it down to just pictures
Liam Myers
I was playing it for a few hours. I haven't been able to battle anything yet.
I am hoping that by leveling up, that I will be able to fight and level my pokemon against other players.
Will our Pokémon level as we battle them?
Cameron Powell
you level them with candies
Jeremiah Morgan
bump, give me more juicy details on this garbage game
Zachary Clark
Damn i didn't even know this was out yet. Thanks for the heads up OP
Jordan Fisher
Not OP but this game is a decent time waster. After you reach level 5 its gets pretty interesting since each team with actual people are trying to take over gyms and have control over the city
Daniel Wood
nope. no player based combat at all you dont get to level your pokemon either.
your character levels by walking around and catching pokemon, but thats about it.
its not a pokemon game. its just got pokemon in it
theres nothing else to give really. battling in gyms is pretty much all there is to do other than stockpiling pokemon by throwing a ball at them repeatedly till they get in it. its like pokemon for retards that are too stupid to figure out the turn based system
Brody Mitchell
At which point it's just Ingress with 3 teams and no OP guys who have had dominance over everything for years.
Landon Lewis
Just hit lvl 4 last night. Gonna bounce around my town today and get to lvl 5. Seen a few Gyms yesterday. Just didnt play enough to lvl though
Kevin Harris
I have some decent Pokemon. Pidgeotto is 1 candy away from evolution
Jacob Rodriguez
thats where the pay 2 win comes in. basically whoever spends the most cash in real life beats everyone. you have 0 chance of winning against richkids with their moms atm cards
Robert Moore
I'm also lv 8
Jose Campbell
Aside from catching the same Pokemon over and over again, how do we get candies?
Bentley Richardson
True. I mean I've held the gym down my road since I hit level 5, which was a few hours after launch. But I live in a really poor neighbourhood in whangarei so I think I'll be good for a while.
Mason Lopez
That's it. That's how
Andrew Hughes
Is there a way to play without going outside?
Ethan Cook
I thought that was the case with Dokkan battle as well but I'm f2p in that game and rank around 20-25 each tournament. So you either need to be rich,lucky,or know every in and out of the game. I'm lucky and have 2 pokestops right next to me
Henry Miller
It's an open beta. PvP and trading will come. You can only battle by arenas atm.
Jordan Williams
That and it only took an hour to find the biggest exploit in the game - you can catch any Pokemon, rare's included when you modify your zip code. Whoops!
Dylan Reed
I tried it already with fake gps, but it didn't worked for me...
Benjamin Jones
how do you modify zipcode if its gps based
Jason Fisher
Does it really look like this pic at your areas?
Here in my village is absolutely nothing...
Cameron Bailey
hahahaha, you really think that this was supposed to be like pokemon from the tv series but in real life ? get real you pathetic neckbeards
William Clark
such a low bait
Jonathan Green
You can buy the item from the store which attracts the pokemon to you for half an hour but you have to spend real money for that
Jordan Hughes
>I'm lucky and have 2 pokestops right next to me kek, I have 3 arenas next to me and around 15-25 pokestops and I am not even in a big city
Jaxson Allen
You get a few to start off with. But the lures you put on poke stops are way more effective.
Luke Wilson
Mfw I live in las Vegas and have pokestops and gyms everywhere. I literally don't even live that close to the strip (maybe like 8 miles?) And literally everywhere is pokestops and gyms
Sebastian Long
Same, live in Vegas and I have pokestops and gyms everywhere.
Ian Lewis
When I said close I meant I can get them while I'm still in my house. Within a miles radius I counted 6 gyms and 17 pokestops. I do give credit though for not being in a big city I live in Vegas so I expected it. And yes I am the same poster as Team Valor? If not fuck you
Bentley Nguyen
fuck my town
David Smith
Team Mystic represent!
Adam Collins
Nigger fuck you
Dominic Ortiz
I will fucking cap your ass nigga.
Cameron Flores
I know that feel...
William Torres
Mystic and valor and crips and bloods and the yellow team are just kinda faggots
Oliver Lewis
Killer bees? Or Mongrel Mob. Both have yellow I think.
Matthew Rogers
So wait, is it Gen 1 only or all 6?
Jason Miller
god damn pokemon dont come out on my screen unless i turn off my camera
its an augmented reality game where the augmented reality doesnt even work. wtf?
Liam Bailey
Only 1 so far
Brayden Reyes
1 only. And if you niggers excuse me. Some Team Valor fucktards just took my gym
Connor Mitchell
1st Gen only
Ian King
Valor is life nigga
Caleb Brooks
My dubs confirms
Jaxon Flores
>Valor Morghulis
Adam White
>village well i found the problem....
Cooper Johnson
did you really expect something different?
Jayden Foster
had that same bug too
Dominic Miller
theres 250 catchable pokemangs i know gen 1 is only 150 / 151
does this mean theres other generation pokemoongs?
Jayden Rogers
any fix?
Camden Miller
Yup Up to 500
William Price
250 is the space for storing pokemons, you can have more than one of the same pokemon
Justin Ortiz
you can have a total of 250 pkmn in your inventory
Wyatt Brooks
>Cubone >Orphan >feelsbadman
Jayden Cruz
Yes. I expected a pokemon game. I expected to walk around the real world, find some shit, and battle it on the spot. That wouldve been fun as fuck. Then at some point run into another player playing and battle them on the street. THAT wouldve been fucking awesome.
instead we got some half baked piece of shit
i kept turning the camera off and on and moving around. then reset the game. it seems to work half the time. i dunno. the games so fucking bugged i dont even know whats working. most of the time it wont show my character moving and says failed gps. othertimes the character is wondering around on the screen by itself. hopefully they fix these bugs, but if they knew about all this during beta and still didnt fix it, then i aint holding my breath for a hotfix anytime soon
Oliver Nelson
>Battle kid on the street >kid beats u >soreloser.jpg >beat kids ass >CNN blaming pokemon go >rip pokemon go
Caleb Thomas
Lel
Nathan Ross
I read that there are only 97 different Pokemon.
Caleb Hernandez
Kek
Jose Foster
Oh someone's definitely walking in front of a bus while playing tomorrow, if it didn't already happen
Leo Anderson
nz fag
Gavin Rivera
You should just beat the shit out of the actual person. That's how you win the game.
I read someones already been syabbed for his phone walking into the wrong part of town
Aaron Flores
i said that as soon as i saw the commercial months ago. that kid in the commercial was about to run off the fucking cliff. people are definitely going to die
Dominic Lopez
fake satire
Bentley Robinson
You fucking lazy neckbeards.
Chase Hill
what did any of you expect when playing some game for on your phones/tablets? they'd obviously try to cater it towards shallow lazy idiots that want to waste their time doing absolutely nothing. seems like you got what you asked for.
Christian Morris
team rocket at it again
Carter Jenkins
Hopefully I'll get a dope pic of some carnage next to my shiny new zubat
Connor Hughes
>game made for lazy people >game is only video game in existence literally only about walking Nigger you what? Stop posting son.
Dominic Hill
kek
Jonathan Anderson
just realized that one of the gyms in my town is at the Jehovahs Witness building.
Samuel Thomas
welp this is fun
Dylan Thompson
made me lol in rl
Joshua Sanders
Better get your ass out there and find that Paras.
Jeremiah Watson
Yeah, real big dissapointment imo, i have no clue what i was expecting, but it wasnt what it was released as. Here's to hoping pkmn moon will be better
Aiden Cruz
yeah thats what my area looks like. fml.
im 26 how do i go out and play this without looking like an autist. stay in the car?
Hudson Brown
Anyone having problems with invincible pokemon? I can't take a gym near me because the guys pokemon doesn't faint. Yet mine do and it's cost me revives. Fucking bullshit
Evan Smith
pairs you say?
Jaxon Clark
Brah I'm embarrassed and nervous to go outside. It's only a coincidence that I'm lazy
William Morgan
This and how much data does it chew through? I only get 1gb with my allowance
Jeremiah Reyes
>fake >satire pick one
Dominic Morgan
I don't think its possible to play this without looking like an autist, just at home i was walking around looking for pokemon, and i thought about how my ancestors must be thinking if they were looking down watching me.
Brandon Young
play it off like ur texting and walking, thats how I do it, I dont get as many people looking at me versus when I have my phone raised face height and scanning the floor
Chase Miller
top zozzle
Benjamin Wilson
Just got back. Gym was guarded with only one thing over 200 CP Found out there's a bunch of Team mystic in my neighbourhood because I've held the nearest gym as blue for so long. Downside is they're all bogans and fucking gangster wannabies. Hell, at least there's enough to protect the gym now.
Julian Collins
rip
Benjamin Gutierrez
I love it how this game literally takes all the ingress portals and just randomly chooses what ones become Pokécenters and Gyms
Angel Richardson
It's not random. But that's pretty much what has happened.
Cooper Watson
If you want to find Pokemon then you must spend money on the incenses which attract Pokemon to your location averaging at 1 Pokemon every 6 minutes. Poke balls don't matter and catching Pokemon is essentially a basketball game Gyms are won by defeating the previous victors ai Pokemon which is the only form of battle I was sold on the idea is be able to battle mates, fuck this shit. It's just a pointless collection game.
Gavin Morales
who wants to stand in a bus stop for half an hour without a bus to catch?
Henry Mitchell
Way to take all of the work people put in to get those portal locations and images, then just shit on the original submitters
Austin Nguyen
fuck yeah my nigger. valor 4 lyfe
Ian Turner
So far I've seen 5 gyms and just over 50 pokestops in my area. I'm only level 3. But I've caught some pokemon. Only thing I'm concerned about really is the battery consumption and looking like a retard trying to catch these pokemon in public places. I tried the look as if you're texting method. Kinda pointress when you have to move your phone around to align yourself with said pokemon. I caught a FEAROW while I was taking a shit..
Xavier Turner
I live in the ghetto and the 4 nearest are all in alleys filled with graffiti and the locations are "SUR x13 AZTECA MURAL" "PINK GRIMACE MACDONALDS"
Ryan Watson
Same here, all my stops just so happen to be graffiti murals or backyards of project buildings. >new york
Anthony Powell
lmao. imma tell my weedman about this. he's going to chill and rob pokemon nerds trying to hit them up.
Liam Jones
all the gyms / locations in my town are schools and churches.
