If someone would only reference a letterbox, this thread would be complete.

I don't care about the game enough to give it any hate, the biggest issue for me is EVERYONE seems to either be playing it or complaining about it.

Yes the irony isn't lost on me that I'm complaining about people complaining about a game.

Off a bridge, then the gal found a body. Some other sods got jumped and mugged, apparently. Plus some creep's been luring kids via the app... if our sensationalist media is to be believed.

Just checked - yeah it was a cliff with at least a 50ft drop...

Idiots!

My pokestop is outside a nursery and I swear Im gonna get dodgy looks soon :eek:

Shame, I was just about to set up my letterbox trap too. Now the thread won't ever be complete. Disaster!

*flings Pokeballs angrily in general direction*

One learns something new every day. It's an educational app, I suppose.

I've ran out of balls just getting two of the buggers so I've got to find one of these Pokestops to get more balls?
Actually I've only got one, I ran out trying to get the other one.

Caught a Snorlax today on the way to work, pretty happy with that.

Isn't that a creature from the wizarding world? (Harry Potter franchise)

Snorkack is the one you're looking for.

Sounds like some kind of overnight laxative to me.

Now there's a gamble I'm not taking. :eek:

I think everyone's falling for some half-remembered alliteration here. Though sodium picosulfate is pretty effective, as I've learned on these very forums!

There's a Munchlax to compensate, if that helps. It's like Alice in Wonderland only Pokemon, without the logic.

The first time I heard the term 'Pokestop' I thought it was some kind of anti-rape device.

Correlates rather well with incidences of poke-crime, and yet we're letting kids roam around freely. Andrea Leadsom, save us!

Theres always Ingress if you want a more gown up game.

Nitefly · 16 Jul 2016 at 23:31

I was playing this for a few hours today with my girlfriend - great fun whilst wondering through town, plenty of other people doing so too. My ludicrous memory means I can remember so many poke facts from red / blue era.... I never saw that (knowing types and identifying them by their silhouette) being entertaining / impressive to any girls

I think it's great - allowing adults to be kids again.

Rybo89 · 16 Jul 2016 at 23:33

Im one of the lot who is calling anyone over 12 sad for playing it. Son dragged me out at 11pm last night so he could catch a pokemon 400meters down the road.

Reckon if i actually tried it i would get addicted as i loved it when i was 10. For that reason though, ill not touch it. Also sick of hearing about it now.

Skeeter · 16 Jul 2016 at 23:34

Trouble is, its a really bad Pokemon game!

Its just a really good "collect all the things"... thing.

It's made me install a GBA emulator on my phone and I've started playing Emerald. I'm barely started and its already a billion times better than Go.
