The irony is, these"adults" would be bullying anyone who still played Pokemon about a month ago, and here they are with their shitty "genwunner" attitude and their almost terrorist level devotion to their primary coloured, Spanish chicken team. Nostalgiafags. You are totally wrong. Trust me, I'm expert bullyer, and we never bullied anybody cause he played pokemon, because pokemon is fun :D Nostalgia is good, if you have a good childhood, and not raped by your father. Fine. But what's also disgusting is people who haven't played a real Pokemon game in over 10 years pick up this sub-par shitheap and suddenly think they know everything and anything about Pokemon, claiming they've been fans for years. For example, a lot of people playing Go think Charizard is a godly and unbeatable Pokemon, whereas anyone who actually plays Pokemon knows that he is objectively one of the worst Pokemon to use competitively, bar mega evolution. |
| I think the game in it's current state is lackluster. There's no depth to the game that made the original Pokemon games fun. It's boring and there's no extra drive to the game. The only thing the game excels at is the unlimited potential behind it. It's a great example of taking today's technology and creating what could be a revolutionary next-gen game. It's concept is refreshing to say the least but I will not be playing it myself unless some major updates happen that'll bring it closer to the original Pokemon games. An example of the depth I mentioned is the skills system. In a traditional Pokemon battle, your Pokemon have 4 skills at their arsenal whether it's debuffs, buffs, or just straight up attack moves. The battle system in Go is pretty rudimentary, but that's okay I guess since it's a mobile game, I still feel like they could have stuck with the traditional system and that would have gave me some motivation to play the game. When Pokemon reach a certain level they have the chance to learn a new skill. Usually you have to give up one of the 4 current skills in exchange for this new skill or you can just forgo learning the new skill. This feature presents to the player 2 choices: do I catch a low level Pokemon and spend time to raise it up to learn this specific skill or do you catch the same Pokemon at a higher level and try to obtain one of those skill trainers to manually teach your Pokemon that skill? Keeping in mind, I don't believe you can obtain a trainer for all skills so in some scenarios you'll have to make the choice of capturing a lower level Mon. It makes each Pokemon unique since two level 50 Squirtles may not have the same stats or moves. |

| I think it's overrated. 'nuff said. |
Doctors want to check me  Poke me and dissect me What do they expect? Feelings from a wind-up toy? I don't think so |
| It's overrated and I didn't get the hype the game receives. The game is going outdoor and catching some virtual creatures using handphones and nothing more. And also don't forget all of the nonsense incidents the people that play the game involved that we can read from newspaper from 1-3 days ago. |

I don't want people to be happy, haha. But yeah, I just don't like how something considered social suicide has suddenly become socially acceptable. I mean, I don't play Pokemon very much anymore, but it must be terrible for those guys who grew up into high-school getting bullied because of their interests, to suddenly have their hobby liked by many, some of whom would suddenly show an interest in them because of such a hobby.The culture around it is so fake and empty, it's a bit disheartening. |

I consider it a better option for some than just sitting at home playing games, and im playing it like if i have to go somewhere anyway why not have a bit fun along with it. @People saying "its a waste of time". Its a GAME ofc its a "waste of time" meant for enjoyment. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| I don't like it all that much, personally. You see, we sadly live in a time where walking around with your phone out, isn't the brightest idea. Then we have kids going around by themselves, which could lead to a situation that could be avoided if they don't play the game at all. Apparently there's also the case where robbers can, for example, find other users of pokemon go, to, well, you know.. rob them? That said, if we didn't take any of this into consideration, sure, it'd be a great game. |

| lol I'm not a fan of pokemon GO but I'm laughing at the people who think that the popularity of this game represents the fall of western civilisation and "muh degeneracy" BS I'm sure the scary pokemon GO players aren't gonna cause the end of the world. Sheltered teens on the internet sure do draw up the craziest conclusions nowadays. I imagine a lot of them once again took filthy frank seriously (big mistake lol) |

| This also represents how the internet turns everything into a big retarded political issue now, because of people overreacting. You don't like or dislike pokemon GO, you are either pro or anti-Pokemon GO. |
| All the servers are still down in my country so yeap I have to endure dem humans who posts about how hard it is to catch a pokemon |
PATATA!  |
| It's really fun to play, and hilarious how people get salty about the game. The game tells you not to be a fucking idiot, so don't be an idiot man. The reports on this game is top kek, people suing the company because they got into an accident while playing the game (on a highway). More on the actual game, it's buggy as hell and half of the time I spend playing it gives me server issues, not complaining because it is Pokemon and that's to be expected. You can't add friends, battle people unless you're at a gym. There's no other alternative to earning coins other than actually buying them. Comic_Sans said: It's free, lmao.Haven't played it myself but people who're playing it always look extremely retarded so I'm not going to buy it |

(https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/07/12/i-despise-pokemon-go-and-theres-no-way-im-the-only-one/) maybe the game can, in very limited cases, act as an ice breaker. but let's be honest here, you're not going to befriend someone just because they play the game anymore than if they played a 3ds or a psvita. |

| I downloaded it and got to the beginning training part where you choose between squirtle, charmander, etc and it says 'catch a pokemon' BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I couldn't figure out how to use it and I kept pressing on them and trying to catch them but nothing happened I couldn't even get to the part where you throw a pokeball at them so I deleted the app and got it again like three times but.. Nothing. It was very disapointing and I still don't know what I did wrong?? Other than that though Pokemon has been trying to get people to go outside for years and they finally sort of did it so.. Good for them. |

| I hate it because i do not have a phone anymore to play it If i had a phone to play it i would love it but i don't so.... |

| I think I'm not responsible enough to play. I'd probs walk into a busy road or something. Who knows. |
  |
| Honestly it's really disappointing as a pokemon game but I can understand why people find it so fun. Something tells me this is just going to be a trend (maybe prolonged when trading and battling is implemented, or even addition of other gen. pokemon) but I really hope I'm wrong. I can definitely see people getting bored of it within the next month. I like how people are willing to sacrifice common sense to catch a shitty rattata or a pidgey though |

| A pain in the ass that I need to go outside literally and wasting my physical stamina. I'm a person who hates to go outside and explore places so yeah, this game is totally not for me. |
 |
| As a big Pokémon fan it doesn't look all that interesting to me. |
 |
| Not too interested personally, but I've got to admire how it's gotten people out and about, even to the point of socializing with each other and potentially forming new friendships. |
| Wish they made it for windows phones too, though it's very unlikely seeing that we have pretty much no apps even now. |
| Anyone have any luck getting it to work on a tablet? I tried with my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and couldn't get it to work, even after rooting it, installing KitKat, and setting my dpi higher. I think my tablet is too old. My phone is a prepaid and I never really cared about smartphones until recently when I started to see how limited prepaid dumbphones have become over the past 5 or 6 years of me owning one. I'm actually not a Pokemon fan at all, but figure I'd try it to see if I'd like it. Maybe if I get a newer device sometime in the future. |
