iruleall15 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Surprised we dont have one yet. So here we go. A thread for all things Pokemon Go related. How are your guys journey going so far? I have 8 eggs with about 23 Pokemon. I have a ton of PokeStops in my area as I live right next to a museum that used to be a railroad since my city is a historic small town. How bout you guys?

K-Nection Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I live in a small town so there was only one pokemon center and it was at a church. My cousin downloaded the app and we decided to hop in my car for a random drive around town. In about 10 minutes we caught 4 of them. It was pretty entertaining.

D-Lyrium Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 A friend at work was constantly going on about this, so I downloaded it. It's pretty cool. I haven't really been actively trying to collect any yet, but I've found two Rattatas, a Krabby and a Drowzee to go with my Charmander I got for free. Haven't played Pokemon for years, I'm probably going to pick up a 3DS and copy of one of the new games at some point. I hear you can breed them now and give them unique stuff?

Breeding and such is a big thing in the game, but I'm not good about talking as I'm still confused about EV's and IVs and such,</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Scott Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I was never really a "fan" of Pokémon. Never quite grasped what the hell was going on lol. I've been hearing a LOT of hype for this though, so for someone who never really got into Pokémon, is it worth checking out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon_lit_tears Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I was never really a "fan" of Pokémon. Never quite grasped what the hell was going on lol. I've been hearing a LOT of hype for this though, so for someone who never really got into Pokémon, is it worth checking out? Do you like walking? Do you like flicking your finger up the screen? Do yo uwant to see cute, or sometimes prtty creepy animals around your house, or neighborhood? If you say yes, then sure. It's fun, it's not like the other games where there is no story line, no breeding, and so on and so on. You walk, you get a vibration, you click the pokemon you flick a ball (once if you hit it more if it's a jerk) and then you go ohhh I did something...Then you keep doing this. It's pretty fun as an avid pokemon fan of many years, but it's free and doesn't take long to do..so if you're interested give it a shot, you've lost nothing but a half hour of time if you hate it.

Rayelek Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I enjoy it so far. My fiancee and I both play, there's 2 gyms and 4 Poke stops on our usual walk route, so we've been taking more walks now. I've got about 20 Pokemon in my Pokedex so far. Team Mystic all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Breeding? Thats pretty kewl. I stopped playing at gold as the new pokemon felt inspirationless. They looked like blobs sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayden Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 <p>I'm on holiday at the moment on the Gold Coast, Australia and I've found a few pokes but no gyms as of yet. From what I've heard though there is a gym near my house at home back in New Zealand so looking forward</p><p> To that <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobius1 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I live in a college town so there is a lot of crazy Pokemon Go activity. People doing Gym raids in the dead of night. People driving around in cars constantly trying to take Gyms. It is pretty exciting here and the competition between Team Valor and Team Mystic is pretty fierce here. Haven't seen much out of Team Instinct though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen much out of Team Instinct though. My entire small town is playing it at all hours. Its amazing. Me and a bunch of guys from work walked around my town since we have the most pokestops. Most cars that past us shouted something relating to Pokemon Go. This game is taking the entire country by storm and its awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm going to be getting a phone upgrade somewhat ahead of schedule on Wednesday to play this... I'll be on the blue team (my first game was blue) and I know that a bunch of my friends are on the red team, which I have named The Fire Nation! Hearing all the fun stories and seeing so many memes is making me want to play this so hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will re-appear but keep walking away....After you do this 4 times, Pikachu will show up and you can have him as your starter, not that it makes a difference. You can catch them all anytime really.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
