Thread: Pokemon Go!

well it seems to have taken over the world.

Everyone was talking about it at work yesterday so I downloaded it, now I have never watched or played Pokemon in my life so I didn't have a clue what to expect.

Anyways I downloaded the app and sitting on a girls desk (when looking through my phones camera screen) there was a little blue turtle (I have since found out it is a Squirtle) I threw this little ball at it and captured it.

apparently as you walk around these things are everywhere, and there are key spots where you get shit and make them fight each other.

My sister downloaded it and said she had been walking for miles and had only caught two, I decided to fire up the app again when I got home (my flat seems to be a bit of a hotspot for them, I've caught about 30 of the little fuckers now) apparently it goes by the popularity of an area as to how many creatures you find there (I live on the high street so that makes sense that I have found so many)

anyway, this app has caused a stir because people have injured themselves because they are not watching where they are going when they are playing it, people are using the hotspots to lure people so they can mug them, people have been wondering into churches and police stations trying to find a pikachu and one dude actually found a dead body when trying to find a water pokemon or something like that.

Well I thought that seeings how the app has literally taken the world over it deserved its own thread here, I've had a look at it but it aint for me so it'll be deleted later on today I reckon.

3 deaths in NYC since Monday. Idiots ran right into an oncoming subway train chasing bullshit on their phones.

The world has gone mad and this is only the beginning.

Opiate of the masses

Good man, good father!

surely if an app made someone walk in front of a train coz that's where they caught something then the makes could be be sued?

You can't sue for stupid.


These fuckers are playing with this app in Arlington National Cemetery, The Holocaust Museum, Ground Zero in NYC.


Fucking millennials

I'd figure you for a Godfather player brock...especially since you get to murder Sollozo "The Turk" in that game

tss i play it though, but just secretly, its nice going out, catch pokemon, we have to catch them all POKEMON, Its good fun, real life maps, and its not like a normal game where you can sit still, you have to go out and move yoo ass. i recon it's good fun, play it with a few mates and we have a competition between us.

but some people are taking it too far though!

What the fuck is a poke man? It sounds bloody gay to be going out and doing that to people.

Whatever happened to the "good ol days" when we played GTA for the very first time and quickly found out you couldn't drive a car like a skateboard on the way to work

Dopes on Pokémon are the biggest marks going today...oblivious to the world. They are trumpeting the 'exercise benefit' of this also. Yeh you'll burn calories running when others call it free phone day.

Heard about this last night on talk radio. OK, it's confirmed.
Video games never got me. All I have on my phone is chess, pro bowling.. Where you can get the bomb ball to blow up the pins.

And sadly, I got Miss Pacman. I don't play it though... Need a joystick.

My apologies. Pokemon, not Poke a Man. Still, doesn't sound like my thing. I prefer to stay at home and shoot people. People walk around looking into their phones enough already. It probably shouldn't be encouraged.
