Pokemon Go

[Carlos]

I nearly walked off and left her at Beeston marina!

The amount of people walking around doing this, the uptake must be beyond expectations by miles.

I'm taken a back by the amount of not only people but age ranges are playing it. Everyone thought the age of kids sitting in doors wouldn't end, yet this game has brought out families and friends. It's a fantastic concept.

Im praying my lad doesnt hear about it... but some of his mates are pokemon mad and one of them's a hardcore geocacher so right up his street so i know its only a matter of time.....

Made a new zealand Apple account about a week or so ago to play it early.

Overall it's super fun searching for pokemon and catching them but fuck.... There's nothing to do in it. Feel like after 5 or so days of playing i've got my fix
and i'll wait until future updates until i play it again.

Nope, it's a global phenomenon. Anime, games, books, comics, toys, and cards.

Which one of those is for grown ups?

[Fitzcarraldo]

Missus caught me leaving a bawdy house off the Cowley Road last night. Told her it was a Pokestop.

All of them, seeing as I'm a grown up and still use a few.

What exactly is "grown up"?

This isn't aimed at you at all, some of the scoffing towards this is laughable. Ever since the game came out in the 90s every person that picked it up wanted to live in the same world as the game.

Is being "grown up" sitting indoors scowling at the kids out front playing pokemon go? Or is it mentioning the family on the table opposite making loud elephant noises and giggling?

Being "grown up" isn't for me, I'll stick to running around the park with my 9 year old sister because there's a pikachu by the swings, I'll stick to rolling on the grass with my lad making stupid noises. I'll forever laugh at a fart, I'll forever enjoy the toy story films. If I decided to be a "grown up" at some point in my years on this planet, what would I enjoy?

[Strummer]

Nothing, probably.

Look, modern life is rubbish, as a Britpop band once sang.

May as well have a laugh whilst you're about it.

Back to Pokemon, Nintendo's market value has increased by £7bn on the back of this. Brilliant concept.

Other mobile game apps have used the exact same concept, to little commercial success. Throw in the popularity of Pokemon though and you're dealing with an entirely different beast.

It's crazy the number of people I've seen playing it. Even a 60-year old professor at work was on it earlier!

My post wasn't serious mate, please don't think I'm mocking anybody.
I don't see the fascination in Pokemon myself but we all like different things.
I'm with you 110% on the not growing up bit, I'll never not think farts are funny.

No of course, that's why I said I wasn't aiming it at you.

Interesting theory, especially considering the controversial privacy settings and the creators link to the CIA

I don't play this, but apparently there is something called a Pokestop right outside the chairman of the company I work for's office. On Friday 4 car loads of people drove up the private road where our HQ is playing Pokemon.

The head of IT has been tasked with getting the virtual location removed.

[Carlos]

Has anyone taken this back up? I've randomly downloaded it again more for a reason to walk somewhere than anything.

[DapperDan]

I redownloaded it at the beginning of the first lockdown and it started dominating my walks so deleted it again.

[Carlos]

Yeah I've binned it again it's got me out at least anyway
