Jew Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Anyone else hopelessly addicted to this game? Theme parks seem to be hot spots for pokemon and pokestops.
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 I am. I caught a lot of Pokémon. This is an awesome game. I wonder if trainer battles will be added in the future
SteelForceless Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 I'm trying to, but the servers can't handle millions of people at once (which makes sense) so I cant atm.
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 First time I've really gone near anything Pokemon for about 15 years, and the servers are so overrun they won't even allow new accounts to be made.
Genx24 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I was playing it in fits and starts before this evening. Now I'm hooked. Most fun I've had playing Pokémon since I first started playing blue all those years ago.
Duff Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I never found Pokemon appealing. During my high school years, I remember the release of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow on Game Boy Color. My little 6 & 7-year old cousins were obsessed with it, and I guess I associated it with being a kid's game. I'll stick with the Zelda franchise.
PeoplemoverMatt Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm honestly surprised how widespread this game is already.
Jew Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 I'm not surprised at all. Pokemon is something that was a part of millennials childhoods...now we get a chance to have stupid fun wandering around catching pokemon. The game itself doesn't have much to it, and people will probably lose interest if they can't get the servers stable and add new features, but until then it's a great way (IMO) to pass time and explore places. I went back to the Santa Monica pier for the first time in ages because of the game. Well, that and Steak and Shake, but still.
jynx242 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 So, I downloaded it last week I guess, to find out what everyone was talking about. Although I have very little idea of what I am doing, I'm enjoying the crap out of it. There is a park across the street from my office, right on a lake. There are 4 Pokestops there and there are always people playing the game and walking around. Since I smoke (I know, terrible habit,) I now walk around the park instead of just standing beside the building during cigarette breaks. I'm collecting and evolving and stuff, but the whole Gym thing just baffles me. One other thing - is the Vaporeon good? I've evolved three Evees into the Flareon, Joleon and Vaporeon. Is this good?? Any advice would be appreciated
Genx24 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Vaporeon is one of the strongest Pokémon of the original 151, and apparently is the strongest one in Pokémon GO. It's very good that you have one, as well as Flareon and Jolteon.
Blue Turbo Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I have played a little bit of Pokemon Go, but it is just so hot in Arizona that I don't really want to go around exploring. But luckily, there are two pokestops in the building on campus where my lab is and I will be spending a lot more time there when the semester starts!
Jew Posted August 10, 2016 Author Posted August 10, 2016 Did anyone get to be one of the "select" users that got the new tracking system?
SteelForceless Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Not me. I like what they're trying to do with the new tracking system though. Better than what they had before the update, which was nothing.
DAT_OG_ROLL Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Bout to get my exeggcutor, I just need 1 more damn exeggcute....
pdcon Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Did anyone get to be one of the "select" users that got the new tracking system? not in my city, but i was in SF yesterday and they gave it all over, over there. it made tracking really easy. I am completely addicted to this game.
Jew Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 It shows a photo of the pokestop that the pokemon is closest to.
IdahoKat Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I never played the card game, watched the shows, etc., yet this app has kept me on the move and more active than ever. Included are a few of my pics. Planes, theme parks... they're everywhere! As of tonight, my Pokedex is up to 92. I have never used a cheat, 3rd party app, etc. I've earned my way to level 23, and still enjoying the game.
Jew Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 ^ Wow. Thats sounds really easy. Once you get to the pokestop, you still have to track it 200m in any direction from it.
I305forever Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 ^ Oh good. It sounded like it would be to easy.
SteelForceless Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Apparently the beta testing is only in California from what I've heard. It looks pretty good though, so if it goes smoothly I hope they release it worldwide.
pdcon Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 ^ What's it like? you can click the photo, then hit view and give you an over head view of where you are hat and highlights the pokestop so you know where to walk if your not familiar with the location.
