Pokemon Go

You like being alive right? It's ultimately a waste of time since we all die in the end right? You hear that pubs, restaurants and shops pay tax so that useless sacks of flesh that eventually rot away come to their establishments and then hopefully cash in on living life, ever get the feeling you're being had though?

Whatever floats ya boat though... Crack on children....

Not the same thing, justify your childish games anyway you want, but don't kid yourself your living life to the full staring at a computer screen chasing imaginary things....

Popped down the shop to get some milk, thought i'd turn the app on and get some meterage on my eggs whike i was at it. May as well. Just as i was perusing my choice of organic milk produce, i felt a vibration in my pocket. Turns out flareon also fancied some organic milk. He is now mine.

No more childish than following football in the eyes of some. If you don't like it, understand it or care about it (delete as appropriate) then fair enough, not sure why you need to belittle anyone that does though?

Unless that's how you live life to the full?

Just caught at 587CP Jynx at Worthing station.

 

[Grombleton]

Popped down to Littlehampton seafront and bagged a few new ones earlier, including a 977CP Magmar, pretty happy with that. Also a Seaking, Koffing, Vulpix and Diglett among others.

Had a Tentacruel get away from me though

 

[fat old seagull]

What are their names?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I'll stick with boom beach.

Can someone explain this to me please?

You wonder round in the real world and these things just appear and you have to catch them? How do you catch them? What do you do once you've caught them? Who put them in that spot in the first place? How do you know where the next one will be? What's all this talk about gyms? How do you go up levels? Does it not absolutely cane your phone battery having the display and GPS on the whole time?

- Yes
- With Pokeballs - in game balls that trap the Pokemon
- Once caught there's different options - train them up to fight in the Gyms, keep them there, transfer them to get rid of them, or use the 'candy' (in-game food for each Pokemon) to evolve them to their next evolution (if they have one)
- They are randomly generated, but you find them in locations matching their 'type' ie: more likely to find a 'water' type by the sea or rivers/lakes, or bug/grass ones in houses and in general outdoor areas.
- There's a small window which (should, but it's broken) tell you approximately where they are - you can't see them until they 'appear' but you can use in-game items to lure them out of hiding
- Gyms are local places that players can battle each other's Pokemon. You have to join a 'team' (Valour, Mystic or Instinct) and each team battles to 'control' that particular gym and only one team can control a gym at any one time.
- You level up by: catching Pokemon, visiting PokeStops (and Gyms I think), evolving Pokemon, hatching eggs (which contain Pokemon and only hatch once you have walked a particular distance, each egg varies but is either 2k, 5k or 10k)
- Yes it does. My battery wonders what has hit it on a regular basis. If i'm out and about a lot I take a battery booster with me so i'm not caught short.

Anything that encourages youngsters to get some good exercise in the school holidays has to be a positive thing (I realise I must be probably about the 12th person to say that on this thread).

I realise I'm getting old when I have to Google it to find out how it works. I read that a teacher's giving up her job to sell creatures on Ebay for hundreds of pounds. Immoral?

I've seen kids literally running from poke stop to poke stop in hove park, it really seems to be getting kids active and out and about.
