Why would anyone spend money to fly in/get a hotel to participate in this.

I mean not even nerd shaming but you know, we all know, that the app is poo poo and has consistently had connectivity/network issues from launch. How Niantic, or anyone, didn't know this is how it would end is mind blowing

I went to this comic shop once and could only stand the smell for about three minutes before having to bail. There was a Magic tournament going.

It was horrendous. Like a locker room but instead of people changing/showering/leaving the stench just grew and grew

I lol at Pokemon bar crawls that involve zero drinking.

Ingress was the same game but at least the fanbase there used it as an opportunity to get a drink in a new area

I'm wondering this, too. You'd think they'd run into fellow pokemon go players at a bar and like share their mutual love of some silly phone app over a few drinks instead.

there's a guy i see at a bar i like to go to on sunday afternoons after a bike ride who is always set up with his switch or ds or whatever it is sipping a beer and smoking turkish royals on the patio.

he was playing some zelda game but lately he's been into pokemon red on the virtual console. i bet he's a goon.

I find it hard to believe anyone used that app longer than a week after it came out, OP.

Last August I went to Vegas and Pokemon Go is pretty fun on the strip and old town. I named all of my Pokemon after the hooker cards they hand out.

It is a beverage made in Chicago that is a uniquely potent bouquet of horrendously bitter flavors that reminds you of how much you want to die in a Chicago winter during a Chicago summer.

You don't live in Chicago and slowly turn into a round ball with legs if you have a non-abusive relationship with your foods.

There is a vendor I work with where they close out all their events with unlimited Malort shots. The host has a habit of wandering around and making sure everyone has drunk theirs and calling people who don't finish it a Packer's Fan which I'm led to believe is worse than any other slur.

moderately annoying

I for one am shocked that stuffing 50,000 extra people into a couple of blocks of a relatively low density city and then having all of them use their phones at once for one app while also wanting everyone else who has their app to use it as well would gently caress up cell reception and servers.
