I get that people don't want strangers running around their yards, but the rest of that sign is ridiculous.

Ok this person is all kinds of awesome

People should be respectful of someone else's yard. You don't need to get on th le lawn to tap the pokemon.

Should be able to restrict the Pokemon you can see to a certain area. I couldn't just show up on anyone's farm and expect to kill a deer just because I seen one on the farm.

People just need to follow the law. Personal property and focus on traffic.

And then theres video of a million people swarming central park to catch vaporeon. Ridiculous.

WW3 is going to be fought over digital pokemon.

Over Vaporeon? That not even a real rare pokemon? Wth.

Gotta catch em all!

They should have a version called Digimon Stop! Where the app uses your phone number to have Digimon randomly call you throughout the day and night depending on your location and time of day. You cant miss the call or you'll miss catching the digimon. The people playing Digimon characters would be some call center people from India.


"Hello can I offer you, I mean, I am digimon would you like to catch?"


etc.


Would be a huge hit.


Do you STOP for Digimon or do you GO for Pokémon?


The choice is in your hands!

I was way more into Digimon than I was Pokemon as a kid.

Caught a few Pokemans at work... work is also a Pokemon Gym, but I haven't leveled up enough to compete yet....

Haven't really gone "walking out of my way" to "hunt" Pokemans.....

I've not played it, nor do I have any interest in playing it. I loved the original Game Boy games back in the day, but haven't really played any video games/mobile games or whatever for a good six or seven years.

The problem with this game is that people, as always, cannot be trusted to not do stupid things or go to stupid lengths. I wouldn't want people walking all over my yard over a fucking video game, but you know that countless players couldn't care less about other people's property if it meant catching Dugtrio.

It's only a matter of time (if not already) that there really will be widespread violence and ridiculous chaos over these things. People just cannot be trusted.

And as for people that are defending this game, whilst I do understand and agree that it is great that it gets people outside the house and "socializing with members of the community"... this ultimately means fuck all because this is no different than your typical socializing today. You go out the house, everyone's staring at their fucking phones. Fucking people.

Ultimately I guess people playing this aren't doing me any harm and I couldn't give a shit. Just don't expect any sympathy if you crash your car playing it, or walk off a cliff, or get assaulted by someone for trespassing on their property.

I caught a mother fn Pikachu today. Suck it.

Rsmm, it gets people actually walking outside. That is a huge plus.

Pretty sweet my workout gym is a pokemon gym too.

Which is definitely a huge positive, which I acknowledged, but it's when it gets people walking on peoples property, walking in front of traffic, or generally "socializing" but really, just staring at their phones like they always do.

Really, this is probably more to do with my issues with modern technology and how disconnected people have become.

Enjoy your Pikachu, this fad will soon fade out. :p

My son and I found a spot where 7-8 Pokestops are located within walking distance and by a creek. We have done this routine 4 times in the last week. Going outside and interacting with people isn't my cup of tea, but everyone I've encountered has been friendly and mindful of each other when it comes to safety.

Until Google gets their act together with the info breach on Androids, staying off this.

You are 100% right. A lot of people will be idiots and think the game is more important than common sense.

I don't think this will fad out that soon. Give it like 6 months.

Well, no shit. I'm not walking around in fucking January here. Brrrrrrrrrr!

It all really depends on how the game itself works out when Battles are implemented. Also socializing and trading will also be another stage.

It could come back to popularity in Spring time. It'll be done by Halloween at the latest in colder places.

Originally when this first came out, I assumed it was like some kinda real-world-based game where, for example players A and B both have a pokemon pop up on their screen, player A catches it, and player B therefore has missed out. So in a way every app is "connected". I was dreading thinking this is gonna legit lead to people stabbing others to prevent them getting certain pokemon etc.

I'm glad that's not the case, but hopefully it'll never evolve to that point.

The Great Pokemon Migration of 2016. Everyone goes to Mexico to play during winter, meanwhile Trump builds a wall and locks them out of America.

Trump won't be President.

You don't know that. People said he wouldn't be the Republican nominee but he is.

I see what you did there.

You won't walk anywhere because you are a fat piece of shit. I am suprised you actually leave the house during the summer.

I catch/see enough pokemon in my house and at work anyways. Sure it is slower but you don't NEED to really walk anywhere to enjoy it.

:rofl:

Took this earlier tonight. Legit, like 200 people downtown playing it.

Are those rain clouds that nobody noticed?

A bunch of people staring down at their phones.

Take out Pokemon Go, and that picture still represents what "socializing" is today.

But unlike Facebook, Twitter, and all that you need to actually speak to someone about what you have going on. Sure they are using their phones but they are outside next to each other. I am sure there is verbal communication going on.

How do you know that people aren't just looking at their phones

I donno about you guys but there are literally hundreds of drowzees in Toronto

Only caught one of those in Mass so far.

Really? I was in Manchester for a wedding and caught like 5 in an hour.

Wonder how much of a difference location makes. Would be cool if the different continents had pokemon from different regions.

Take a good hard look at the mother fucking boat
