I'm not gonna lie this also comes from my hate of mobile games as well as other things like pachinko machines, their simplicity rakes in money but they've resulted in the death of my favourite franchise, Metal Gear Solid. People are easily pleased.

Besides, MGS was killed through Konami's continued stupidity and fucking over of Hideo Kojima, holding a hatred towards an entire section of games just unnecessarily limits yourself, but each to their own

And if it wasn't for the app he'd just wait down an alley anyway and mug somebody. If somebody is worried about getting mugged then don't walk around a dangerous deserted area at midnight, use your common sense.

You can't trust people to use common sense, especially people under 18.

Ok I admit that's not really relevent but I despise mobile games and microtransactions, they're cheap effortless shite that's migrated into full price £40 games. Shit like Clash of Clans can get to fuck and I can see this going the same way.

Don't let your kid leave the house alone to go hunting pokemon at midnight then. That's a problem with bad parenting, not the app.

I was called into work late last night and didn't get out until after midnight. Decided to check out some stops/Gyms, since I hadn't done it yet figuring no one would be around. Even after midnight, there was still kids/teens walking around and loitering at stops. The one Gym I passed had multiple cars parked around it, clearly with people inside. I just kept driving. The local news and cops are already warning parents.

Weird that - saw the same story involving a Pikachu...

Probably missing something obvious. But I keep seeing the outlines of pokemon that are nearby. As I continue walking nothing is popping up on my screen or showing how to catch them. Do I need to keep walking and hope I walk directly into their path or what?

When one pops up near you on your map just press on it

Am back in Jersey for a week at the start of August for holiday. Can't wait.

And so as to keep it on topic, I will scour the beaches for Pokémon.

Just back in from 2 hours hunting with my kid. The amount of people walking around playing this is mental

Narwin Dunez · « **Reply #55 on:** July 12, 2016, 07:51:25 pm »

Way more people than usual walking around town looking at their phones this lunch time. None of them kids either, all at least 20

OzBomber · « **Reply #56 on:** July 12, 2016, 09:59:51 pm »

Went down to the Docks today and there were 2 Pokestops right next to eachother both with lures on it. Sat down and looked to my left and caught the glance of another Pokemon Goer and we just smiled and nodded as we both knew the reason why the other was there. Looked around and there was easily 20 people all buried in their phones trying to catch Pokemon.

Walked home from work tonight as well and 9/10 people with their phones out were playing Pokemon. This game is only going to get better once you can battle other trainers.

For Android simply download the APK file from a site.

For iOS change account region on iTunes/AppStore to US and download then change back. (have to do region changes with it logged off from iPhone I believe)

Just been on a midnight walk, not sure if it's different at night time but I found stuff like Jigglypuff and Parasect

Yeah I got a clefairy last night. Fairly sure they're more common in the evenings. I've also only seen Eevees in the evenings.

I'm saving up a bunch of evolutions so I can lucky egg them all later. Hopefully can gain 2-3 levels.

Umbarto · « **Reply #70 on:** July 13, 2016, 06:47:10 am »

So decided to go out on my road bike for a couple hours, went by a pokestop I missed earlier due to server issues and there's a cop in the parking lot. He sees me grab my phone and actually comes across his loud speaker and says "I just dropped a lure module." and I proceeded to hang out there for a solid 15 minutes just catching left and right.

He's sat there in his marked SUV pretending to watch traffic and playing Pokemon Go.

Anyway, not done much yet, only my second day in... but I got a bird jesus at least!

Haha, fuck me. I'm only on Level 5 and think highest CP I have is about 140. $:-\$

Caught a Ryhorn in the work car park this morning. Result

I don't understand this game, is they aim to catch all of them or just collect a few and train them up?

Flaccid Bobby Fowler · « **Reply #75 on:** July 13, 2016, 11:33:07 am »

I cant get the AR to work, it just shows a white background - phone is an S6 and AR slider is on?

edit: you need to allow the app permission to use the camera within the app manager settings on the phone.

By the time this launches officially in the UK, the gyms are going to be impossible for noobs, surely?

It's easier to catch them with it off.

Today here in Jersey I went hunting for some Pokemon a lunchtime, seen a lot of Vaporeons at Gyms so assumed somewhere nearby with water had them so spent time at the harbour, got about 22 Magicarp lol!

Anyway, after a while fortunes changed and got a 400CP Golbat and stuff like that, was fun! Evee too but it was ridiculously weak!

Then on way back to work saw someone had lured a Pokestop so went there, no joke, 12 or so guys all sa on benches talking pokemon and catching whatever turned up haha, got a good level Psyduck
