Yep! That gets my vote for Genuine WTF of the Day. :doh:

They'll make a quick buck and then this phase will pass. I hope. :sigh:

I don't give a $**+ about this nonsense. Well it probably make sense for people with ages 15 and below. If you are 20 and up and still playing it, there must be something wrong with you. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: If this game will be tied up to health insurance and implement a built-in step counter within the app that would help people motivate to walk more and get healthy, that would be awesome. :-D

Oh, so that's what's running on everybody's brain pacemaker.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

Nah, actually the 20-30 crowd is really into it. Remember, Pokemon started in the mid 90's, when those folks were young, impressionable kiddies. I was already in High School when that garbage emerged, so every time I hear about Pokemon, the first thing that comes to mind is "Chinpokomon supah toy numbah one!" (The South Park parody of Pokemon)... Anyway, I played Ingress for a couple weeks, had fun, got bored, and moved on. This is just Ingress with cartoon characters, so... Been there, done that.

Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

The general consensus on CP is that it sucks. If you like it good for you, if not, good for you either.

I'd rather be phishing!

I think this is the good phrase to tell people who play the game in dangerous places Someone post it here earlier I think, I forgot.

I downloaded it for my kids. At first when I took them out I scoffed at all the adults playing it. 3-4 weeks later I regularly go out at 3 in the morning after being to the pub trying to get tehm more Pokemon.

I vaguely know what Pokémon is, something about you got balls and you capture creatures. Couple of guys here play Ingress say Pokémon is based on that.

Light up? Who looks down toward their feet while walking? Oh. Right.

I don't really mind it, I just don't have time for it and that's not what I use my phone for. I'm happy for people who are enjoying it, and it's a lil dumb that people are getting into fights over it. My brother used to play Ingress, and I didn't play that either.

My view is that until they either release an official PC version of Pokemon Go that doesn't require downloading five other apps and doesn't require you to pay real money to buy pokeballs, I won't play it. On the other hand, I'd take an Xbox One Pokemon X if it existed over Pokemon Go any day for sure. The Pokemon developers have been disappointing me for years :/

If your message doesn't post immediately, please don't just post it again, and again... Your original message was intercepted by the automated spam system and sent to moderation so a human (or a close simulacrum: me in this case) could decide if it was safe for publication. As were the others you posted immediately afterwards...So I have to approve them all to prevent you getting kicked as a spammer and then chase them down and deleted them afterwards. Please, be a little more patient in future?
