Hey Sup Forums i have an interesting idea for a thread

Hey Sup Forums i have an interesting idea for a thread.

Pokemon Go betas thread.

Today me and my gf went to our towns city hall and had a blast collecting pokemon and going to the the pokestops.

But it made me wonder. How many people out there have no access to a car nor money for transportation, no friends to hunt with, or too socially awkward to go out and explore and socialize with people.

On my journey today i saw a lot of people who looked like they haven't stepped out of their parents basement in the last 5 years playing pokemon go.

Are you this beta Sup Forums? Please share,

Bump

btw i went from level 2 to level 8 by the end of the day. Didn't get many rares but got a lot i was looking for.

Wandering around 5 acres farm at thr end of the road past a town at the end of the road.
>all this tall grass and no pokemans
Can't even get pikachu to spawn within range of muh wifi.
I have a feeling even if I make the trip to town, I'd be wandering around in hopes of pokemon near unlocked wifis while destroying my battery.
I wish it was around when I lived in the city =/

I'm level 6 but I ran out of Pokeballs and there's not much as far as nearby PokeStops to get more. And I'm poor so I can't buy Pokeballs. Besides that, I don't want to buy into the freemium bullshit this early on. So, basically, fuck you.

Haha no, I'm pretty shy and even I was chatting up lots of people and got some contact info.

I wonder this myself actually.

Nice, trips. Oh and some OC for you fgts. *Heart hands*

how the fuck did you run out of balls?
ive got like 200 of them and havent paid for a thing

Nope, because I live out in the rurals without a pokemon for miles and miles, so there's still no need for me to leave the house

I got no friends to hunt with but i got a car so what ever

I caught all my dudes around my house or by stores and shit and have been to only 1 Pokestop since starting. And, like I said, there aren't hardly and Stops around here.
Otherwise, I don't fucking know how I did. All I know is it sucks a fat dick

Don't catch and drive doe. Or else, if you get into an accident, make sure you're the one who's fucked up and not the person you hit

nahh i'd never, i like my car too much

>no access to a car nor money for transportation
who the fuck would take a car for playing pokemon go?

on foot or on a bike are the only true ways you can play pokemon go

My current setup, going out for another hunt tonight.

cause if you live somewhere with nothing around for miles you can just park your car and walk for like 5 hours and go hope like a happily ejaculated man

>hope
home

What social aspects does the game even have? What does chatting and trading contact info get you in Pokemon Go? So far it seems like it wants you to go outside but still avoid human contact.

youtu.be/TJG4aEtKeUw

People who don't live on the west coast and don't want to fuckin melt when they go outside

dude i dont have any friends, my brother has pokemon go but he doesnt want to fucking walk around all he wants to do is smoke weed and play video games. Im too scared to go outside alone im not tryna get mugged

New friends to hang out with. We exchanged steam usernames so now more games to play with locals.

Depending on the person, hell, I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a marriage based on meeting in Pokemon go.

Why would anyone play this game?? What type of self respecting Pokémon fan would actually spend their time and money on such a bastardized version of pokemon! You should all be ashamed... Unless you're all just casual mobile faggots who've never actually played Pokémon... But anyone who has ever played Pokémon should not support this monstrosity. There are 4 aspects that make up a Pokémon game: Hunting, Capturing, Grinding, and Battling, this game satisfies 1 of those categories. The capturing is merely a Pokémon Paper Toss game, the grinding is accomplished by paying real money, and the battling is done not with the classic Pokémon battles mechanic that requires actual skill and strategic, it gets replaced with tapping on your phone screen as fast as possible wins.... It's disgusting, whoever pays the most money wins... You fake gamer fans supporting this disgusting sellout by Nintendo releasing a half assed sorry excuse of a game after promising to never release a shitty half assed mobile game and sellout with micro-transactions. I urge you all to open your eyes and uninstall and rally together to send a message to Nintendo to not fuck us over with half assed games! There is no reason why this game shouldn't have the same classic Pokémon battle mechanic!

We're all glad we're not you.

nice bait. gonna respond anyway.

all four of those "criteria" are in there
and your criteria doesnt even make sense because pokemon snap exists.

if you're paying for this game, you're an idiot.
it's a free fucking mobile game. it's not like they're gonna spend time crafting a full-fledged pokemon game that they're just gonna give away for free, that's what S&M are for later this year, when they make us shell out 40fucking dollars
the reason why it doesnt have the normal battle mechanic is that if they *did* go that route, there'd never be a point in making another game for 3DS/whatever is in the future.
so take your pick: free mobile game or no pokemon games ever again?

I'm a little disappointed with how they handled places that weren't cities, the place I live is in the mountains but it's well populated, yet there's nothing around me.

When in the intro they talked about pokemon in the plains, in the mountains, and in the water I was thinking maybe they actually designated regions of the globe into biomes. The Rockie Mountains a large mountain biome and the great plains a plains biome ect. And if you wandered these areas there would be a %chance of running into something. That way people might have specialized loadouts according to where they live.

But so far it doesn't seem they've done that

Hunting capping and grinding are all the same thing in this case, and you don't win gym battles by just rapid tapping the screen, nigga stick and move.
>Git Gud you duck-butter chugging faggot

The game beneith the game is called ingress. Look it up, all the pokestops and gyms came from there.

I am living directly next to two pokestops and 1 arena, don't even have to leave the bed, you are really unlucky

Lmfao, spoken like someone who doesn't like to bike or walk around. You dont win by paying money, you win by biking a lot tbh. If you are near a bike and ride around for few hours you will be way ahead of a person who pays and only walks a little.

Near a park*

My name is Ash Ketchup & I'm beginning my pokemon journey tomorrow, i'm going to be the best master on the face of mother earth

Smoke. Rocks.

simply having the name "Pokemon" doesn't mean the game is required to emulate the other Pokemon games. It's a great game for folks like myself who played Red/Blue/Yellow but then fell off and want to jump in for an easy-to-play, nostalgic experience that also involves exploring the world around you.

I guess it's not really meant for basement dwelling elitist virgin Poke-fags like yourself who have spent hundreds of dollars and countless hours playing Diamond Jade Silverite blah blah blah carbon copy versions of the same game over and over just with increasingly dumb-named creatures.

Btw it's free so nobody i getting "fucked over" you literal autist.

tl;dr pull up your wizard sleeves and go to bed.

...

I c ur in the forest just south of pewter city

Broke 1k today

Lmao

I'm pissed... PISSED I TELL YOU! That you can't see other peoples' Pokemon's nicknames.

Oh man I know. I want people to know that Swimmy Doggo beat them.

>playing babies first and most casual phone game ever

>not leaving your parents basement for more then 5 minutes

>enjoying stuff for normal humans

this must really trigger you, huh?

Yea if your in a rural area your boned, unless there is something of importance there. Ingress is an Alphabet (Goole subsidiary) so everything works off their locations. I did find some really weird spots by my area that where stops but whatevs.

Yea I got no car, so a daily Pokemon grind is my workout at this point, one of my friends has a car so we go down specific paths to get runs at poke spots and to walk around too. Gained 3 levels today too, such fun

Nice trips, and my god smile down upon your nicknames.

Yeah, go 360 no scope 420 blaze it on that flappy bird, faggot.

>actually managed to get outside today and catch some pokemon
>run out of data
Well fuck me I guess I shouldn't have wasted it all watching porn.

Go to bed. You're drunk.

silly team valor.

I play while driving around in my truck. I just pull over when I find a pokestop and collect the loot real quick then go on to the next. You can cover a lot of ground and hit a lot of stops in a short amount of time this way.

Not much but it's my team.

I am an autistic fat fuck and it's gotten my ass off the computer. Kind of nice hope I keep it up

Drive around down town, you can pop the stops whiteout slowing down, and since it's a downtown there'll be hell of them.

(Assuming you have a downtown)

Hey man that's really good and keep it up. It's a great game overall though and I've had a blast playing it.

Thanks Sup Forumsro

Because rares are easy to find from car

Just a scary thought of having to share the road with fucking idiots playing this while they drive.

watch out guys, we've got a og pokemon master here.

This game has the potential to be a very dangerous game. This game has been out less than a week.
-There are reports of people tripping and falling. -There was an internet news article(which turned out to be fake) of someone causing a freeway accident because they were driving and looking for Pokemons. But don't think that this can't happen.
-People are using the app and luring players(with some type of beacon) to a location and then mugging them. What is stopping someone from doing this and luring children that are looking for a Pokemon?

You ever hear of don't text and drive? All the Pokemon "betas" are gonna crash and burn

>been walking around time. Especially art night cause servers work better
>meeting alot of people as well as just randomly running into friends I already knew were playing
>meeting some cute ass pokèthots playing

I never thought pokemon could improve my social life, physical health, and help me meet women all at the same time. Thank you based pokemon company.

thanks for the tip

Thank Niantic too you fucking faggot.

>want to play pokemon go
>can't go out during the day because everyday is over 100 degrees
>can't go out at night because I'm likely to get robbed
There's a pokestop not two blocks from my apartment and I can't fucking get to it.

True it hasn't happened in my area but not like it couldnt. However me and my boys always roll at least 4 or 5 deep and would gladly stomp out some dumb nigger trying to get in the way of me and a pokemon

The beacon is a lure, which makes Pokemon appear more in the area. I heard about the robbery and it sucks but it's pretty easy to catch the person, the tag name and stuff pops up on who did the lure. Guy got caught pretty quick so hopefully it doesn't happen again

Oh you mean the company that literally just bought rights and then took their one and only title and put a pokemon theme to it? Yeah I guess thank those hacks too

Straight up savage

Can I ask something?

What's so wrong with Team Valor?
I see that most people choose either mystic or Instinct but when it comes to Valor everybody hates on it

it's the bulbasoar of the 3

Just jokes, around my area everyone hates instinct. I'm valor myself but honestly no one cares.

I didn't ask for a comparison of the three, I'm asking what's wrong with it

...

Then what is the charmander of the three?

Everything. It's in the bible. Corrintheans 13:37 thou shalt not pick shitty team by the name of Valor in Pokémon go.

I found one in the local gay bar and it was awkward

Pokemon go has made me 52 dollars since its release... Fuck this is my new job.

Sup Sup Forums it's 2:00AM where I live and someone has been putting a sensor module in a lonely place of my town for the last two hours. Should I drive over there and see if I spot anyone who looks like an evil-doer? What do/b/?
>pic related, it's the lure module

How? You can't trade so how could you possibly make money

Eh they may just live near by. I can acess one from my bed so I do it in the middle of the night all the time. More pokemon for me

Playing this game makes you beta. I love Pokemon but you people looked autistic as fuck.

Looks like Pokemon aren't the only thing they're trying to lure in heheheheh amirite guys?

>go there
>get beaten and robbed
>maybe even killed
or
>grab a gun or knife if you have it
>call your friends
>go there ready to kill some people in self-defense
>kill said people in self-defense when they attack you
>get pussy

There's literally no houses near that place, they're all stores. It's a remote part of the city so it's kinda weird idk

Idk some dude gave me 2 bucks for giving him a bottle of water I had in my bike. Another dude gave me 10 bucks because I went and fetched him 2.5 gallons of gas. (he covered the gas too) and a lady gave me 20 bucks because I helped her install a bicycle rack on the back of her mustang.. And I made another 20 bucks for being the guy to sit on an alligator while someone taped its mouth to have it moved to another pond...

Idk im lucky??

Dawg go and post results. I will monitor this thread for your safety. If you get worried post an emergency number to call

>get pussy
Don't forget the countless number of Pokemon I'll encounter thanks to the rapists' lure module. Thanks for the idea Sup Forumsro

OK I wouldn't credit all that money to pokemon go but that's semantics amd at least answers my question so thanks

Starting my car up at the moment, will give details after I get there

Well the only reason I was in those areas was looking for pokemon...

good luck and safe travels user
>godspeed

the game is young they had to start somewhere...

>can't even throw a ball in real life

faggot, aim and throw and you won't waste so many balls

user who drove over to the lure here, I circled the block once and there was just some random mid-thirties aged guy there, he was sitting at a bus stop but the strange thing is that buses don't pass this late. Didn't manage to get a picture since I drove by him at a pretty decent speed and I didn't wanna raise suspicions. Not sure what to do next.

Dudebro. That is weird. Cool, but weird.

We are waiting in suspense. If you meet a fellow pokebro say hi for us.

Well, user, I for one agree with you completely.
I remember when google and nintendo first pulled this idea as an april fools joke. Still I thought that would make for a revolutionary ARG and be successful since it's got famous franchise star power. But I thought it would be like regular pokemon for the gameboy. Honestly, the only reason I'm not going to play this game is because of the lack of a battle system where you can challenge anyone and grind and level up your pokemen.
Until there's a way for me to grind a magicarp into a gyarados, then go blast people's inferior pokemen to smithereens, this game just isn't for me.
