Tight wrote I gave the game a try yesterday and thought it was pretty lame. I guess I can somewhat understand why some people may find it fun/addicting but it's personally not my type of game.

It looks boring but I heard that they are going to be updating it. Either way this rant was more about the "fans" that play it. Its almost as if you have to play the game to be socially acceptable now when before 90% of the people who play Pokemon GO never ever ever ever ever ever even spoke about Pokemon. But now since its a mobile game everyone is all of a sudden a Pokemon fan.

Idk just bugs me.

I can see where you're coming from when you say that there's a lot of people who play Pokemon GO that aren't familiar with Pokemon. I believe that a lot of people play Pokemon GO because they're exposed to the game. It's something new and different which catches people's attention. As humans we enjoy trying new things especially when we're placed in an environment where these new things are promoted to us and in this case it's Pokemon GO. There's also fuss about how people shouldn't need an app to get them outside which I agree with but if it's motivating an individual to get out and get exercise then I certainly have no problem with it.

dah wrote About time someone has made a rant about this, because myself hate the game. It's such a childish game to play. Lets wake up.. go on my phone and catch some fake ass crap because I have a no life. Like wake up BRUH.. Why do you want to catch things that doesn't exist. Then you hear peopleget killed or stabbed walking about the streets at 4:00am

Imao I'm done man
People are making Youtube Video's about it like no one cares.

You have no clue what you're talking about. pls, stop.

You literally just said how childish this game is and how people who play it have no life which is completely incorrect and it is pretty hypocritical to say that considering you're on TTG 24/7 (not to mention your average posts per day is around 25. lmao)

You can seriously tell who is a child on this website and who isn't.

I have no problem with the sudden Pokemon fandom. I wouldn't even call myself a fan, I've only played Red and Emerald.
The micro transactions bother me so much though. I've dabbled in the app a couple times so I'm going off on assumptions. But most of the things you can buy are bullshit enhancements. Increased inventory space, Pokeballs, etc. All of this shit should have been unlockables or bought with in game currency. It's essentially a pay to be a Pokemon Master generic mobile game simulator.

TL;DR Idea is amazing, executed poorly.

The amount of improper English in this post exceeds the amount of proper, that's pretty bad for someone calling others "childish" for playing a game.

Now, let's go ahead and talk about what you just said.

First, "It's such a childish game to play. Lets wake up.. go on my phone and catch some fake ass crap because I have a no life." So, what you're saying is, because I'm playing a game on my phone, it's meaningless, and I nor anybody else should be doing it? That's funny, because this is a tech forum, based around technology, mainly video games. Why is it any different then you sitting on your ass all day and killing people on Call of Duty? Those aren't real people, those aren't real guns. You must have no life because you play that game.

Second, "Then you hear peopleget killed or stabbed walking about the streets at 4:00am" Both scenarios were hoaxes, but I wouldn't expect you to actually know or care.

Third, "People are making Youtube Video's about it like no one cares." So, nobody cares? Or you don't care? Let's take a look at this; if you go to YouTube and search "Pokemon GO" you will find that every video that comes up has well over 1 million views, some far exceeding 1 million. With the exception of the small channels obviously. So, if "no one cares" then why is it the #1 trend on the App Store?

If you're going to play a game, why not play something you like to play? If someone likes to play Pokemon, then let them play.

Myself, I don't care if someone downloads the Pokemon GO App on their phone but I find it weird that people are walking around town/city where ever people live are catching (whatever they're catching on the Pokemon Go App) That whats gets me.

...so you're saying I can't even state what I feel and I can't say what I want to say about the app. It's a free world where I live and should be everywhere also. I can say whatever I feel like what's on my mind or how I feel about something in this case it's Pokemon GO.

I stated that because I've heard people saying this so I thought why not say about what I've heard. Silly me not researching about it and just type about it.

I was wrong as I like to point out time to time, I don't like the app/game. YES... when I was a young boy but not anymore because I'm older and myself I don't think I want to play it. I have no interest. This is my own statement what I think just to let you know.

Let me point this out, I don't search for "Pokemon GO" I'm a subscriber of the news channels and I hear that from them with other stories they report.

Good tricky question here, well..um..as I said I don't like the app/game so if it has over 1 Million trend on the store those 1 million people do like it I don't.

I am don't be so salty here, I don't hesitate people that play the game. I let them I don't go mad at them. I do whatever they want to play.

I like the game because I have always enjoyed playing Pokemon. I'm not doing it because its a fad.

And I saw you said it was dangerous?
I hate it when people say this.
It is as dangerous as you make it out to be.
I for one am not f***ing stupid
I don't play this game while driving, or at night, or any other stupid shit the media blew out of proportion.
If you play the game like it was intended, then it's not dangerous.

THIS RANT IS NOT ABOUT THE GAME

Just because YOU dont drive while playing or whatever doesnt mean its dangerous. People are stupid, I had someone bump right into me while walking. I wasnt even moving and she walked right into me, of course she was on her phone trying to catch a pokemon. People can MAKE it dangerous and people do make it dangerous, the game is safe obviously you cant make a game unsafe like that. Did you really think I meant the game is dangerous? Lol wtf??????

Idk why but you seem like you get annoyed with everything in society.
