What the hell is happening here?
Everywhere I go; pokemon go. I've never heard people talking so much about something as much as this. Best selling app of all time, more users then tinder and twitter, celeberties using it, politicans using it, kids adults elderly using it, non stop news, sports teams using it, businesess marketing it, etc.
What the fuck?

>tfw still not up in Canada
I mean I could make an American account but I don't really give that much of a fuck.
Anyways, Pokemon is the shit.
>Pokemon battles will become a sport event in your lifetime
>Pokemon Training will now be a career
>Pokemon study and research will be a top qualified job
wew
It's honestly shit. I downloaded it and played for about 2 minutes before I uninstalled.
I haven't seen a single person playing this game and I live in the most populous city in america.
>Seen a could pokefags walking around my neighborhood earlier
>they were all dressed up and carrying waking canes
Pretty sad
>don't have a smart phone
>don't leave the house
>want to play Pokemon Go
I 3ven saw a porno story about it. Shheesh, man.
>Pokemon battles will become a sport event in your lifetime
There's already big important tournaments. I don't think they're on a level eith Magic but they're a big deal.
Nigger you better be buying pokemon stock
>tfw not falling for the latest mindcontrol ploy
use your pc to spoof
what city? they like to hang out near gyms and pokestops
you know you have to leave the basement in order to fully experience the game right?
thats because you have to leave ur apt u NEET
there are like 30-45 people playing in the middle of my town right now
town population about 560
the 4th of july less people were outside
WTF is this jew magic
It's the second coming of Pokémania.
Which is exactly why I uninstalled it. That and I don't like giving away my personal info on an app.
>people justifying the game by saying they are "going outside"
>aimlessly walk around staring at cell phone trying to swipe something that doesn't actually exist
>pay for boosts and premium options with your wageslave bux
>awkwardly eyeball some other loser that is staring at his cell phone
>cell phone CEOs greedily rubbing their hands together due to idiots blowing up their data
How would you know? Its just ppl staring at there phones...
"Adult" children are so disgusting, I'm only glad my generation can watch you embarrass yourselves so we don't make the same mistakes. You're in your thirties, balding, skinnyfat, and you're walking around waving your phone in the air playing a children's game about catching magical cartoon animals. How about acting like a fucking man? Your grandfathers killed communists and fixed cars for fun, and here you are gleefully hatching a fucking cartoon mouse egg. Fuck. You. Millenials.
Go outside.
Chase pokemans.
Capture a ton, hold 7 gyms in area.
Game is shit.
>TFW the pokemon craze causes a huge upswing in pokemon card prices.
Get ready to sell those 1st edition charizard's boys.
I can't wait for the south park episode about this
The only way you could be more of an internet tough guy is if you posted the seal pasta.
>why would anyone buy a car? A horse is way cheaper doesn't break down every few miles and you can even eat it in a time of hunger.
bluestacks + gps spoof
You're welcome
Haven't been into pokemon since sapphire. All my friends downloaded it so I downloaded it today. Don't know if it's shit or not yet because I got it after work and running errands and didn't feel like going back out.
this desu
>tfw I sold mine for $5
God-Emperor was not around to teach 10 year old me how to make a deal.
It's pretty fun and clever and while I acknowledge that it's a datamining jew ploy so are our every smartphone, operating system, web browser, etc. The very roads we drive on are mind-control jew tools to keep us trapped and plan our entire economies, so go outside and look at the pale blobbos and play your fucking PokeJew and have fun.
...
>be normie
>ruin everything
its a fun game desu
>2016
>not having unlimited data
hows boost mobile treating you?
>you can catch Ghastly, Koffing, and Drowsee at DC Holocaust Museum
Because someone found a Koffing there, apparently.
Shut up, Ahmed
This was the single most stupid shit i ever read ...... besides the german law
It's fun, free, and has 20 years of name recognition and public goodwill, is it really so surprising?
This is why I bought a blackberry, so I can't play these shit games even if I wanted to. I still have a browser, but no games and only text/voice for communication.
No, it's Jap magic.
Jews fear the samurai.
t. adults that passionately watch children's cartoons
What does that have to do with acting like a child at the age of 30? Think of a man you respect. Can you picture him unwinding from a hard day's work by pretending to catch cartoon lizards?
>tfw you have an old ass phone with wifi or apps.
I really want to play this, what good phones I should look into buying? My significant other suggested a nexon.
it's breddy gud
Whats your next phone gonna be?
>All you should know about this game.
Anything with Windows 10
Meant with no wifi or apps

OMG I hope my fund has stock in Nintendo!

>Niantic, Inc. is a software development company best known for the augmented reality mobile games Ingress and Pokémon GO. It was formed by Keyhole, Inc. founder John Hanke in 2010
>Keyhole, Inc., founded in 2001, was a pioneering software development company specializing in geospatial data visualization applications and was acquired by Google in 2004. Initially launched as a spin-off of Intrinsic Graphics, first round funding came from a Sony venture capital fund and others, additional capital came from an NVIDIA bundling deal, from the CIA's venture capital arm In-Q-Tel, with the majority of In-Q-Tel' funds coming from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and from angel investor Brian McClendon (who later came on as a board member and VP). Keyhole's marquee application suite, Earth Viewer, emerged as the highly successful Google Earth application in 2005; other aspects of core technology survive in Google Maps, Google Mobile and the Keyhole Markup Language.
>The name "Keyhole" is also a homage to the KH reconnaissance satellites, the original eye-in-the-sky military reconnaissance system now some 50 years old.
>John Hanke, CEO – previously worked in "foreign affairs" in Washington DC, Myanmar & Indonesia.
Kill yourself king of normies.
ayyyyy
this
Look at mister "guys who like thing I don't aren't real men" guess you're going to say someone isn't a true Scotsman next.
>App that gets basement dwelling gen wunners to go out and experience all the advertising the world has to offer
>Just have to pay some 20 year old to make your spot a gym, or pay nintendo to make your spot a pokestop, and you'll get tons of no lifers to come in and hang out
It's not that difficult to understand.
Just the braindead millenials being distracted from reality by a wedding between nostalgia and a gimmick
Grown ups playing games designed for 8 year olds, their schooling has been super effective
youtube.com
>still no Flip servers
Fuck this why cant we island niggers join the hype?
pokefags should be gassed

Team Valor is taking over this website!
Too late, already gained 50% fuckign percent since launch, buying in now is risky.
>For some users with iPhones, signing into the game with the most convenient option – using your Google account – allows the gaming company to read your emails.
>That's because the Pokemon Go app gets "full access" to your Google account. It's something most apps don't dare demand.
>Google settings state that "full access" means Pokemon Go "can see and modify nearly all information in your Google Account."
>That includes access to email, according to Google.
mfw paying $40 CAD
Meanwhile some plebs are still using Bell or Rogers and paying $100+ for limited
REMINDER THAT GOOGLE IS USING THIS SHIT FOR SOME..... NEFARIOUS PLOT
It is a perfect storm
Now it is cool for grown adults to act as kids
Pokemon is mainstream enough for everyone to know
It is on mobile
It has nostalgia
>not having a 2nd account
Let's start a Team Rocket anti-Pokemon Go team.i
obviously, then you get 6 ''expac'' whenever you feel ready to make another mound of dosh
That was already fixed.
$45 a month for unlimited call, text, and data maplenigger
It's called team nigger.
Quite simple my dear OP, the masses have found a means to indulge in shameless degeneracy without having to suffer judgment. You could try until the sun rises from the west and sets in the east to convince me that a grown man playing this is not utterly pathetic, but you would fail. If nothing else, it is a good mark of decadence, that you may know who is of an inferior breed, undeserving of the time allotted to him. Let them play OP, the masses have always been distracted with games, this is no different, only the name and gameplay have changed.
Post your mons Sup Forums
...
It's too damn fun. If you played it, you would understand.
I get unlimited everything except data (which is 7GB) for $40/month
>> That's good enough for me because when I'm at home, the phone is using wifi
>HUH...WUH..H-HOW COULD SOMETHING..BE POPULAR?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!
kys
>implying normies have a second account
shouldn't have been a problem in the first place
So how does Pokemon GO tie into In-Q-Tel and Data-mining? Pokemon GO utilizes taking geotagged video and pictures. This data while used for gameplay, can and is relayed to Niantic. Remember this company was funded by the CIA, and created from a company that specializes in mass-data collection software. Do you really think this is a coincidence?

i saw an infographic explaining this the other day. do you have that?
pretty sloppy deal. I get all that, and the same roaming in the US for $40. And that's 40 of our discountbux
You weren't around in the late 90s, were you, OP?
We must defeat the evil power!
It's the latest and greatest in freemium shovelware with a swanky brand name attached. I'll admit the gimmick is cool in theory, but it's a public annoyance at best and a public safety hazard at worst.
The number of manchildren wandering the streets too busy looking at their pokemanz to watch where they're walking has increased a thousandfold overnight, and a fucking poke-hotspot or whatever has no business being at the front door of a fucking health care clinic.
And for all that the gameplay isn't appreciably better than the ancient gameboy pokemon games that ate my childhood, arguably it's worse because of the "you don't have to pay but you probably should if you don't want to grind for ten fuckbillion hours" game structure.
