i bet PikachuWarrior is kicking ass and taking names.

Ah yeah, that guy! PCEFX's mascot. Nice of him to have trashed our forums right in front of Victor Ireland... :/

[jtucci31]

the best part? no one really talked to each other, all faces were buried in phones.

That's exactly what I've noticed too. My friend always defends it with "but it's connecting people and it's fun and blahblahblah". At this point it's no better than Facebook messenger, you're just jumping through more hoops and walking more. I hope to hell that this is a fad but people go apeshit over Pokemon stuff.

Also if one more person asks me if I play I might shit my pants out of anger

[Psycho Punch]

I wouldn't hate pokémon for what it is but the problem is that this generation feels like it is too self absorbed. Pokémon go just amplifies it...

Pokémon Go's idea is good but in practice you have people disregarding their surroundings over some virtual pokémon in their screen's cellphone. Also, you have a lot of people playing it right now because it is the current fad, if Nintendo doesn't give substance to the game they can expect the userbase (and their stock prices) to freefall in the next months.

[jtucci31]

Yeah, you have a good point. I don't hate it for what it is, it is not a bad idea. I just hate that the other day while I was driving in a suburb, some girl almost walked into the middle of the street because she had her head in her phone. Obviously this is a much deeper problem than just the game itself, but like you said, it's not helping the situation much.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I've seen quite a few peeps (about half of 'em parents with little kids) wandering around the local lake searching for Pokemons.  It's nice to see more people enjoying the outdoors, even if they're spending more time staring at the screen instead of the real geese, ducks, eagles, deer, etc.

i kinda like it . I've been a  fan of pokemon for 15 years so of course id had to check it out. Its cool for what it is. something fun to do when you wanna take a walk around the neighborhood or to kill time but people be crazy with it especially going to places that can be dangerous like freeways, no trespassing zones or in the middle of the street.  its a cool app but people need to be a lot more careful it and actually use their common sence before playing it.

Heh, interesting. While I agree it has massive data collecting power/potential, the recipient of it is Nintendo for the most part, not the CIA or the US government. But I suppose anybody could hypothetically hack into it to take a peek down the road, be it governments or other interested-parties. Who knows... Unfortunate to just take a blanket authoritarian ban approach though.

Well I just saw an email today at work they sent out regarding Pokemon Go.

I honestly didn't get to read it apart from a sentence and the subject title saying Pokemon go.


I'll read it tomorrow as I got swamped with appointments to meet with me and applicants for serivice.

From what I glanced over I think it was saying how some of our office locations are part of the game and what to expect so we don't call security for loitering or people with their phones out in the parking lot. 


Not even the VA is safe from Nintendo lol

[TheClash603]

At my job they sent out a message saying no playing Pokemon Go.  I guess somebody in a call center was snapping pictures of pokemon and failed to recognize there was confidential data on their computer screen.  Not sure if they ever posted the picture to social media or if it was caught before they did, but it turned into a big security fear by management.

Jeez, what a dumb fuck.  Why would he even need to have his phone out?  There's other people in the car that are presumably looking for pokemons too, and when they find one the retard could pull over and chase it down on foot.

But I guess fuck logic and common sense.

Just read the email. It was actually in line with your statement.


It's for employees informing us that the use of augmented reality games are prohibited from operation within VA facilities. As personal details constitute and unacceptable risk to VA facilities.


Then it also makes comment that if you do play the popular new game Pojemon Go to exhibit consideration of data breach of your google account and use of the game while driving or to travel to strange locations at night.


So it's more of a PSA to be safe don't Pokemon and Drive as well.

[NightWolve]

Fake, just attention-whoring or no ? 

[Digi.k]

definitely found some great spots to sit down all day and just wait for pokemonsters to appear and catch them

These are all from the same spot

Dumbass, not unheard of though. Had a dumbass stand directly in the creek 2 weekends ago trying to catch one with his IPhone. Watched him slip and saw his phone float down the creek. Needless to say, its sleeping with the fishies. Wish I would have gotten a video of it.

It's amusing how pokemon go is making fools of people.

Digik....I think I see a PSYDUCK?

I don't know Pokemon, but I tease my daughter all the time about PSYDUCK because we were near a huge lake and NO HUMAN CIVILIZATION for the first week she has the game.

I said: " Don't worry, Squirtles and Psyducks live in the lake."

She was not amused when I repeated that statement a billion times over the course of a week.

I still can't play Pokémon Go to contribute anything useful to this thread.

This is why I feel the need to Squirtle my Blastoise all over your Pokéballs.

today was chaos in central london I had no idea there was a cycling race going on and the roads were sectioned off...

Anyway this city especially the central part is crazy to get around and almost can get you killed if you not careful by non careful drivers!

Plenty of poke stops here and pokemon but getting from A to B could be bad for your health!

Hahaha! "No, I don't play Pokemon Go, I play PC Engine stay!"

Great forum slogan!

[Gredler]

Hahaha he's right about co workers. I thought I played a lot of Pokemon go, I open the app a few times a day, I grab poke balls from pokestops, and I've taken some gyms here and there
 I hit level 18 over the weekend... I am the lowest level player at my work by about 4 levels, and my highest CP plan Pokemon is half the CP as the co worker's dudes.

It's crazy how far and much people are playing, one of my co workers is level 30, I thought he cap was 20. Insanity, it just keeps going! Reminds me of an MMO lol

[Digi.k]

man this game is getting some serious backlash since the recent updates.  Certainly I noticed they physics of throwing the pokeballs in a certain way have changed and the distance between some pokemon have either gotten a lot nearer or further meaning you have to make better judgements or memorize the distance for your pokeball throws.

Those pokemon also put up a much harder fight in getting captured and also have higher chance to run away now.

The other thing is the ingame radar that tracks pokemon nearby just lies to you and gives you false hopes.

[Gredler]

My biggest issue with this game is my schedule and the inability to go "find pokemon" lol I've caught all the same ones for so long, it's gotten boring, and when I go places there not "pokestops" (rivers, lakes, mountains... I need to go to public parks etc)

[spenoza]

Even driving a mile or two away can make a big difference. And it's all about urban areas with lots of people. I went to a nice park near where I live that usually is decently busy and got almost nothing, but at a busy strip with lots of stores and people eating and shopping, they came rolling in.

My friends and I went out to eat and the waitress saw pokemon on one of our phones.  She then asked what level we were and once she found out we weren't at 30, she immediately shunned us and considered us the scum of the earth.

She was a 23 year old smoke show that is probably fucking guys around Buffalo, NY right this moment, if they are deemed level worthy.  I remember when chicks used to be shallow for other reasons, if I were 10 years younger and single now I imagine my bench warming basketball skills wouldn't be such a cock block anymore.

haha people at that level also come under scrutiny for perhaps using a bot program.

Once you hit level 20 the road to level up starts getting much longer and further apart..

if you want to look at some in depth analysis of level exp you can click on the below but to be honest they need to change that title because it is possible!

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4w7fd1/research_level_33_is_not_obtainable_without/

One thing for sure is you need to invest in a power bank at least 10000mAh for this game as it seriously drains your battery within a few hours.

To reach like level 30 within that time since release you will probably have to spend about $50USD buying lucky eggs/incense and lure modules (each item last 30 minutes)  and spending at least 10 hours a day sitting in a spot that has a least 4 clusters of poke stops while catching as many pokemons, transferring them into candies and evolving them. 

London city especially the central part just has so many good spots!  and the last 2 weeks while I am on annual leave I've spend around 8 hours a day sitting in certain poke stop spots using other players lures. I'm only level 22.

You need 100k exp to level up to 23 and you get about 100 exp per pokemon caught.  Taking down Gyms will give you about 500 and about the same to evolve a pokemon.  When you hit level 30 you need about 1million exp.

Magicarps are extreme to get about 400 candy to evolve it and get 500 exp you need to catch around 133 of them.  Each magicarp will give you 100 exp each and 3 candies when you transfer them.
It's the same for stardust, 100 each from each pokemon and 500 from Gyms.
