Sexydadbod Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 What is so special about this game,am I missing something here? Nearly everyone I know is playing this game. Today a random person came up to with his smartphone as I was meant to be standing right on top of a pokemon. I also heard that there are meant to be secret pokemon in churches and police stations which has led to people randomly walking into them. What the hell.

Sexydadbod Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 A few people have also come across dead bodies playing this game. Very strange. Some robbers have even used this to their advantage luring in Pokemon Go players claiming they are fellow players and then rob them. I looked it up and it appears the game isnt even officially out in the UK but people are setting around this by changing their ios settings to the usa. God knows what it will be like when it is officially released in the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralRam Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I've been on it all weekend. A bunch of us even jumped in the car from Swad to go Markeaton Park to see what was around there. i personally think it's great, it's getting everyone outside and exploring (you have to go to landmarks around the area) and giving people exercise.

Junped in the car? Marketon park ? Excercise? Did you check the spelling for the app you downloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Think it's a nostalgia thing for many. I've played it a little. It's only the original pokemon, which is all the pokemon from the first gameboy games (and TV show) when I was a littl'un and obsessed with it - if it was the newer Pokemon I wouldn't play it simply because I've no idea what any of them are and have no memory of enjoying them when I was the target audience But it's only been a few days and I'm already starting to get bored of it. Very social game which are popular, people really love a reason to hang out. Keep seeing groups of friends wandering around with their phones. My US friends go on bike rides etc. together to play it. I'd have to go a distance to start "exploring" though, drive somewhere new and then start walking about, but I don't drive or ride a bike so I find I'm just walking around all my standard routes (admittedly more often than I did) and it's getting dull.

Anon Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 So if I see a fedora wearing neckbeard using his camera phone outside a school and asking kids if they want to see his pocket monster I shouldn't be concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APK apps let you install apps on it that are limited to regions you're not in. Pokemon Go works for us, even though it's not released (I mean that in the sense that there are features in the game that are placed on important buildings etc. that have been set up. I wonder if the iPro is a Pokestop or a Gym?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say anything about flags, please. I've downloaded it, I'm 25 years old and have zero shame. I played Pokemon when I was a kid and it's a good old throwback. I won't be devoting my life to it like I imagine a lot of youngsters will be doing as I have a full time job with plenty of other commitments but a little session on this now and again will do me.

Exactly. Although while I'm in exactly the same situation as you my "plenty of other commitments" is basically just a list of other games. (Oh, and the missus, obviously).
