I was thinking of getting a cheap android but I'd have no idea if it would even be compatible. I'm hoping NX or Nintendo s new handheld can somehow be used as a platform for their phone games. Assuming they aren't going to microtransaction you to hell.

An android owning friend of mine told me you needed a phone that runs android 4.4. Not sure if that's the latest version or not though.

Tried the game on my wifes iphone yesterday.  First of all, SupremeAC was already taken...  Then I went for a walk, encountered a golbat, but didn't figure out how to catch it. Had to shut the app down just to return to the map.  Walked up to a few pokestops, couldn't figure out how those worked either.  Passed a gym and was told I had to be level 5.

Yeah...  I was out for 15 minutes and burned through 20% of the battery of a brand new iphone SE.

I'm jumping in on the stock, that shit just keeps going up. I figure it will reach its peak when it hits Japan and that country melts down.

So I am level 12 now, I still don't have any strong Pokemon. I have tried to fight and it sucks balls. App was a mess all weekend, it crashes all the time. But the fever continues, I was driving home from a friends at 3am and I saw at least 20 people at a bus stop with a lure, 3am! I went to a mall yesterday, like 30 people just hanging around a lure spot. It's total insanity.

Sounds like a wise strategy. Wonder if the NX reveal will fuel or crash the stock?

It's a phenomenom alright.

It will most likely cause a dip. Every mobile game announcement will make it rise. And Nintendo has plenty of big names to put on mobile. Mario will be huge.

"Christ some people are so miserable. I was about to go to bed when I saw a lapras on the map so me and another person went running quickly to look for it(it's 2am) and while we're running down a street we get pulled over by a cop. We asked why the cop is pulling up to us and the cop is like "are you playing Pokemon go?" so we told her yes and then she said that there's two reports about people playing Pokemon Go. I told her we literally just came outside and that we lived nearby and then she asked for my name so I gave it. She then pauses for a minute and we just stand there and since we're in a rush to find the lapras ask "uh so can we go?" And then she says yes and leaves. Such a waste of time and we missed out on the Lapras lol. I think it's mainly annoying because quite a few people play late at night and she kind of just randomly picked us when we had only just come outside and then didn't even give a warning as to what was wrong with what we could be doing."

"Ok, some people might be a tad too dedicated. Went to bed yesterday at 3 AM, which was right as the servers came back online after a few hours of downtime. I checked my phone and saw someone instantly fighting the Gym behind my house, whittling down the three POKéMON in it and then taking over the Gym. Because there are no houses in range of the Gym, this means that someone came out to the Gym and then waited until 3 AM for the servers to come back online just to take over this single Gym. You know, instead of going to sleep and doing it in the morning. "


"I'm still blown away at how many people I see playing this everywhere, I live in a historical section of town and every single day there are mobs of people everywhere, thankfully not right on top of where I live, but close enough that is super easy to join in if I feel like it. These are places that would normally only see traffic on weekends and special events, tonight in the middle of the week it was like a carnival. Such an interesting phenomenon."

That might be why I only make threads in Off-Topic Discussion.

My most successful has 97 replies but most of them are mine because I keep adding updates.

Threads in general get few replies anymore. My non-gaming threads go unnoticed most of the time. Lazy fucks.

We notice them alright.  We just chose to actively ignore them.  Nyaa

On topic of Pokémon Go, this forum is just reflecting what's happenng on the rest of the internet.  It's freakin' huge and absolutely everywhere.
