Pokemon Go
 

Who is on this crazy app trend?

Or - better yet - who is profiting from the rise in Nintendo stock price? :)

Re: Pokemon Go
 

It's already grabbed the UK by storm- all ages... FFS. I can't understand it at all.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I wish I still had all my old cards! I used to have literally thousands with hundreds of them being the 'rare shiny' type.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Would of been a rich kid James! Those ones from the 90's are worth a lot now. So google created this games? It seems to be a sick game like pedophile and little kids type of sick.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I had at one fist 1st Edition Charizard and then 8 second edition Charizard.

No idea what I have done with any of them!

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I thought the cards depreciated HEAVILY - I don't think the old cards retained all of their old glory value....right? If I'm wrong....it's $ time....

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I don't think Google created the game : Niantic did.

Re: Pokemon Go

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Google helped with initial development (mainly integrating with Google Maps) but Google is not the app developer. The app developer is a company called Niantic, which I'm assuming is a collaboration of The Pokemon Company and Nintendo.

I'm so sick of hearing about this stupid game. It was on literally EVERY news program/radio show I listened to yesterday, and today.

There's a lady in the next town over from me who's having a f***ing fit because her house is a "gym" and random people are showing up to battle constantly.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I find that bit funny.

We have reports of this in the UK as well

There must be a way to make money off it sometimes if your house turns into a gym. Maybe give out medals?!

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Now that's an idea to sleep on! Since EVERYONE is playing this game it should be easy to turn a profit.

Over here there have been some savvy entrepreneurs capitalizing by posting on Facebook about the location of a rare Pokemon, then robbing anyone who shows up at gunpoint.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I kept all of mine plus the ones my brother was going to throw away.....

Only the two of us collected the early cards.


Some advantage to being a hoarder!


:bird:

Re: Pokemon Go
 

@miketyson, I stand corrected - some cards still have high value. The issue is that way back EVERYONE would collect the cards so there is a huge amount available. I went on eBay and while some sell, there are many overpriced cards sitting around.

@phaz0rz, hah there was a guy on the news today complaining how his house is a pokemon gym and cars keep blocking his driveway so he can't leave without shooing ppl away.

The random robberies might increase...

Re: Pokemon Go
 

One side of the world enslaved, the other one is busy catching pokemons. Amazing.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Wicked times we live in, eh? Geez

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I really really really like the concept of kids no longer staying home all day to play video games, they have to go out into the big wide world to accomplish goals - as you have to do in the real world.

But I don't like how over hyped this game is, and how people of all age groups are not acting their age when they start running like maniacs because there is an elusive Pokemon waiting around the corner. Any random person would run along with them thinking there was something more exciting going on.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I like Pokemon (since it was big business for me way way back when it first hit North Am) but I'm not a fan of the increase in screen time and yes, Play, the real-life distraction about this game.

I saw one guy leaving the gym last night - crossing a red light with his phone out playing Pokemon AND talking to someone about what Pokemon he was chasing at the moment hah

Re: Pokemon Go
 

What are we a bunch of old people?

Get out there and play Pokemon Go!

I just started catching Pokemon from when i jog around my neighborhood

I'm going to catch them all!

Re: Pokemon Go
 

But will you win vs. challengers? Hit up some gyms yo :FF:

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Oh you know it rsot! last night I spotted 4 pokemon gyms.. I'm trying to level up so I can start battles

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I've downloaded the game but haven't had chance to play it yet.

It seems to have taken over the world!

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Lol my husband has been getting into this Pokemon thing, what is with men and their hobbies, I never have time for hobbies clearing up after him!!

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Game is total crap, but as the most money in the world is done on selling crap...well done Nintendo, that crap just grossed 15 BN on stock market.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Which Pokemon is your go-to guy bigboss?

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I wonder if Pokémon will come up for sale on eBay? I recon a Mewtwo would sell for a lot

Re: Pokemon Go
 

You can trade Pokemon on the Pokemon Go? If so...then likely sales can be done

Re: Pokemon Go
 

There must be a way?

Or at least people may well sell their iCloud accounts with the rare Pokémon on it maybe?

Re: Pokemon Go
 

I saw accounts for sale on eb - different lvls....so maybe if a rare pokemon is on that account...for sure...

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Read on the news that something similar was used to lure people to a certain location where they were robbed.
And as for playing outside - there's no real playing. Its still a bunch of disconnected individuals plugged into their devices and completely zombified. There is no interaction between humans - only between a human and his device. Sad really.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

But at least they are outside and moving around lol

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Wish there was a way to make this into a team game. Would make it so much better.
That's why Im a big fan of games such as MechWarrior online. The ONLY way to play it is to be a part of a team.
Maybe they'll have updates in the future where youll need to interact with others in order to catch the more rare ones. I think that would be an excellent way to have the game evolve.

Re: Pokemon Go
 

Forced interaction with others...could bring out even more nefarious ppl....

Re: Pokemon Go
 

There is a park in my area with 6 Pokestops within a 1min distance (walking) from one another, and even some that are stacked to where you can collect 3 if you stand in a specific area.

Seriously, the most people I've ever seen at the park. Between 7pm-11pm, there are easily 100-150 people consistently there. People have even set up little vendor tables to sell drinks! This guy selling water/Gatorade has a line of people buying from him out of his coolers!

Oh and I'm lvl 22 with a 1960 CP Exeggutor :)
