Anyone.. ?

Everyone's playing Pokemon again, blink 182 has a #1 song, a Clinton´s running for president, Tarzan in theaters. Welcome to 2001

It's a conspiracy to gather information for spies

I tried to play it anyway, but I don't pay for phone service, so it only works when I am in range of wifi... so basically it doesn't work... the pokemon never come to my house :(


I did find a cell phone service advertising 500MB for free, but it only works for Sprint/CDMA phone, and mine is GSM

What is this?

An addictive and dangerous game imo, stay away from it!

I play it. I downloades the APK file though, it isnt available here yet.

It's this dumb pokemon game that overlays pokemon onto your phone while you walk around in the real world, so if you need to find locations or pokemon you have to walk around outside and people have ended up getting robbed and so on because of this feature, apparently thieves have even figured out how to make the app take people to secluded areas to get them.

You will get robbed only i you are complete addict or dumb.

All around talk about this game...

It is only getting hype now from the media because someone found a dead body while playing it from trying to find a water monster from what I heard.
Also people are luring while catching the monsters so they can rob them.

People get robbed doing everything - taking their dog for a walk, getting their newspaper, mowing their lawn.  You can't blame Pokemon Go for it.

Also, you can't blame Pokemon Go for the location of the portals - each one was submitted by a person playing the game Ingress.

seems that many people have started to play pokemon :D

It is pretty fun actually :D

Installed Pokémon go on mine iPhone with United States account.Because in the Netherlands the app isn't yet released. Was really impressed to see the way it worked and that you need to go outside your house to play this game. The 2 kids from mine wife are going crazy when they find a Pokémon. Definitely funny for now but don't know if I still will like it about 2 months.

Today I was riding in my town (30 min from amsterdam), and I saw many people playing Pokemon Go on the street

Glad to see pokemon being played again! Especially ,since they are using the old ones instead of these new "cute" weirdos

I see a lot of Dutch people on bitcointalk. I play Pokémon Go in Amsterdam. This game is fun with your friends because you will go places.

I dont play it.
I hate this game for some reason,i never was a fan of pokemons actually.
Too many of my friends are playing it and talking about all the time,i have enough of it :/

I have not tried it yet because the game is not yet available in my area, but as I heard on some TV news this game is addictive.
the game also increase 20% of Nintendo's stock value.

I agree with you actually,i have played it for about 10 minutes,and i decided it is not for me.
Im also not really into pokemon world,so for some reason this game is not attracting me anyway.

i don't have a smartphone but  it looks so funny :S

I AM PLAY--- oh wait.. i am still waiting for my new phone to come.. This hype just can't leave me alone, i need some pokemon go in my life guys.I am addicted and i haven't even got it yet.

100% recommend it if you played Pokemon as a kid.  It's great fun, and soon they'll be adding more features like player on player battles with the original turn-based combat.

So this game chews up cellular data, fuckers!!! Do you have any idea how expensive this is going to be for the people paying the bills.!!?!?@#!?@#$

It uses 10mb/hr ...  that's 100 hours to use a gig...

I wait this game on Ukraine)

Having played this game's predecessor for three years, I'll tell you it's not the data you need to worry about (and its more than 10MB/hour, it depends on how active you are), it is your battery life.  The high color screens, the GPS and the wifi all on at once really drains the battery.  

I use a Mophie case.  Not only does it protect my phone, it has a built in battery equal to about 1.5x my phone's battery.

I just have a external battery and charge my phone while I walk.  Although it will over heat mid day in this Fing 40 C weather...

Sheep'l identifier.

not play much but if i in new place to visit, always check if there is pokemon near me , got kadabra and horsea still

i would boycott this kind of game unless there is no pay to win thing which deprives people who are poor to pay the credit.
you know, pokemon go uses a lot of memory as well. :(

I still can't find a pikachu. that bastard. i want it!! >:(  seriously, this game is addictive!

What this game is is proof of concept of AR-based advert networks, businesses are scrambling to buy pokemon lures to direct foot traffic to brick and mortar shops, to the tune of ~$2m a day.  The company that actually built the game(niantic, not nintendo) used to be owned by google, aka big data divers.  They and nintendo own a large stake in them now, which is likely why GO initially had full access to google accounts on launch.

Anyway its brill.

what are minimal requiremnts to play this game, what device and operational system I need?

I downloaded the apk the other day since its not available on my country either.  It does work though,  the monuments and gyms and things are in proper places but the game is absolutly gash,  i don't know how anyone can play this.  Maybe once they add friend battles it might be better but for now its just taking up space on my phone.

I meant to say,  the ar sucks too. It has no idea how far away it should put the pokemon,  it just sticks out anywhere in your screen.

smartphone with android 6.0 and higher, for ios I don't know

The graphics are so bad. Polygon is very 1990's as in Virtual racer or that Boxing game I played on the Amiga  :D
How can this eat up so much data. It is not streaming HD graphics ::)

Try to use your eggs, the best way to catch him ;)

Can't wait to have it in my country, it's supposed to arrive this 22 of july.
I'm even buying a new cellphone when it comes out, just for playing it xD

Members and Jr Members can enroll. Also, the craze for Pokémon is real and will last long

Places should all have access to it by now.
I think Japan was the last one to get it up for their customers.

yes i am playing pokemon go and it looks like very fun game, i already have 19 different pokemons and i hope to get even more of them soon

what si so good about it? Ive seen gameplay and it actually looked pretty boring and repetetive.

I am playing, already get level 13.

the game is definitely a good time and the concept is pretty amazing. IRL pokemon.. how cool is that.

I am looking forward to future updates such as trading, battling, and next-gen pokemon. I also am interested in seeing how they allow trainers to catch legendaries! Currently the legendaries are Mew, Mewtwo, Ditto, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno.

Try to play together with friends, it's a lot of fun. The four of us went on sort of a safari and walked 31 kilometers.
