this is the pokemon go thread

[Gum]

let's discuss great questions like:

are you playing?

was it a mistake to spend all my stardust leveling up my pidgeotto?

why can't i get a gps signal?

is this game going to use all my data?

have you almost been hit by a neighbour while trying to catch a rattata in the middle of the street?

are you defending a gym or are you a scrub like me?

i'm not spending real life $_$'; on pokecoins...? nah

etc

but no seriously is anybody else playing this?

I'm playing! I'm team Instinct, almost level 12.

Western and central Michigan has loads and loads of poison types. That's pretty much all I have right now.

As for data, I've been playing almost non-stop since the game came out, and Pokemon Go has only used 90 MB. It's not nearly as bad as I had expected.

[Cards of Fate]

FUCK YEAH TEAM INSTINCT!

I've been out and about a lot becuase of it. My first egg was a 10K egg so Im 8 kilometers in on the fucker. Im waiting till I get a much higher level to pump anything into my pokebros. Texas is weird, we have the usual birbs and rats, but Im seeing a bunch of venonats and eggdudes.

Unfortunately apparently there's a bug with team instinct trying to cap a gym, so its fucking hard to get to hold any ground.

I'm a little sad that I'm too old to understand what in the high hell is going on. I tried Pokemon on an emulator a few years ago and was absolutely freaking baffled by what people got so worked up about.

Once i get a phone i am going to be Team instinct as well. I dont know what types of pokemon are around me. but i live next to a lake. so it would make sense for me to have a lot of water types? but you know thats logic entering a game, i dont know

I'm red team, got meself a cubone

I cannot directly battle anyone, nor can I trade with people.

I cannot catch anything from Gen 2 and on.

I cannot find anything at work or at home, since both places are devoid of anything.

I listen to podcasts when I go for walks, so I can be entertained and not bump into things or people or moving vehicles to catch my 300th Pidgey.

So, no. I do not Pokemon Go anymore.

[Atzar]

I'm almost level 10, but have put off choosing a team or battling. My understanding is that the battle system is woefully lacking, so I'm content to just collect.

Gen two onwards will be addressed in future updates.

I got it today and now my life is taken over with my bulbasaur.
