They let a fat dude at work go looking for a pokemon during a slow spell and he walked at least a quarter mile away. That guy must loving inject sugar to stay as big as he is.

In relating the circumstances which have led to my confinement within this refuge for the demented, I am aware that my present position will create a natural doubt of the authenticity of my narrative.

I installed the game on my phone and immediately caught a Pokeman in my bedroom. I then turned off my phone because that's as far as I'm willing to go.

No....it's so Nintendo can learn the location of all children and stunted manchildren over a given period of time, and then act on that.

They are really biding their time on this one. They've had that information for a while

Are the spawn locations limited? So you're not having these things in the middle of a military base or an airport or something like that?

I'm working around military bases/the middle of nowhere right now and I can confirm there are no Pokemen around until I'm back in the city, but I did catch a sandshrew in the airport on my way out here so they are there

Wry and wise,

yes, op, nintendo have been trying this for ages with all kinds of poo poo, from not putting a backlight in the gba, to wii fit, to doing the whole street pass thing with the 3ds

miamoto has literally said he feels at least partially responsible for how fat video game people are he feels lovely about it

millenials are fat as gently caress, so this is a net win

ive just seen aging 20-somethings playing pokemon go

no children, no neckbeards, as they never go more than 30 feet from their house which means u cant catch pokemon


also where i live there are no ingress checkpoints or whatever. theres about 30 within walking distance from one of the college campuses so im guessing the one person who played ingress here was living in that dorm

All the "gyms" in my area are inside churches; coincidence? It's really just a way to get our hedonistic wayward youth back into the Lord's house, imo.

the keywords for gyms are 'significant places, spiritually, culturally, etc' so yeah a shitload of churches and old memorials are going to pop up as gyms

the problem is it required someone to put it down as a location in the first place

You're right Nintendo made this game in order to get millennials to go outside, the micro payments are just an irrelevant add-on.

Sticking it to THE MAN, assuming THE MAN is an innocent casual dining restaurant.
I work door at a bar on weekends and like 10 people came in last night at 1am cause there was a 'cypher' or something inside. I checked their id's and said I would let them in but they better loving buy at least one drink each. They all did as I watched them.

I mean this is basically the same thing as bronies. Stunted 'adults' latching onto childish poo poo to make them feel warm inside.

Just like bronies, pokenerds point to other pokenerds as evidence that it's totally normal to obsess over cartoons marketed to pre-teens.
