In Japan the game went on sale on last Friday and now I already see some people actually playing it on streets, so currently it's becoming more and more common for you guys to see them walking around almost endlessly in order to enjoy that stuff here as long as possible as well. :sly:

Imagine how much money the police could earn by issuing jaywalking tickets for all of these.

They already are.*

In completely unrelated news, this has taken over as the worlds #1 police car.

That's the thing. It gets people outside and it gets them walking around. I think this is just the start of a series of games that are similar in concept but with different themes.

It comes directly from a 4 year old Niantic game called Ingress. Which was very fun. Much more community and team work based.
 
It's a location based game that uses all the same pints if interest as pokemon. Only each and everyone is capturable.

There are only 2 teams. Each portal (POI) can be linked to another of a same color. If 3 are connected in a triangle it will create a control field inside the triangle netting that Team points based on population.

Much me involved game than pokemon. Lots of worldwide operations have been pulled off.

One team covered 75 percent of the globe with a network of connected fields over night a couple years back.

Something to brighten up the Pokemon Go thread.



It seems very doom and gloom here, and let's face it, which ever side of the fence you're on with this game (either playing it, or laughing at the balding middle aged men walking the dog for the first time in 5 years) you're having fun.
 
Pokèmon Go. The craze that died in five days. Well, at least when Lucario and Gardevoir are (hopefully) added, I will be the only one to catch 'em!

I Don't think this is necessarily true, it's just becoming what it was always supposed to be. A passive game used when you're on the move.

There's only so many times you can post online about catching things people already have. Plus, a meet-up in Glasgow the other day had 200 participants!

Omg. Did she get zapped, bursted on fire, or squirted water?

But really, Daily mail :D I doubt the story.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Daily Mail got this story essentially correct. The story says that a woman claims she was raped by a Pokemon. It also reports that her husband told her to see a psychiatrist. If the article suggests or implies the woman was telling the truth, I couldn't find it.

They had one month of nostalgia, basically. After this first month, if they don't keep updating and keep the game fresh, it will die to a much lesser amount of players.

That's what I think anyways. It definitely won't die out completely, but it definitely won't grow at the rate it was, or have that amount of active players.
