My friends have told me the Aquafinadon Pokemon is very elusive and brave.

It's like the Pokeman zombie apocalypse. People (adults) walking around my neighborhood staring at their phones (seemingly waiting to get hit by a car) aimlessly looking for this fruitcake game character. Same in my gym (who it seems two of my pop-warner kids found one all the way to my varsity players wondering around our football field before and after practice looking for whatever they're supposed to be looking for. Apparently this just started on Thursday. Who ever came up with the marketing for this is an absolute genius.

I was defriended by 2 people (former close friends) on facebook over this. I wrote, "No respectable adult still plays pokemon." One guy responded with, "Yeah, its so bad that this is making people interact and exercise." Obviously, he was being sarcastic. I said, "Yes, but when the app/game loses its flavor, these same people will go back to being couch potatoes. A game/app should not make you want to exercise. You should just want to." A few minutes later he and another person defriended me. They got really offended.

The media decided to give it lots of free advertising masked as 'news'. That's what I know.

I'd rather play pin the tail on the Dindu instead.

The original games were awesome but some people just can't let go. Sad!

Genius game and Nintendo is making a mint on it... It added 7.5 Billion to Nintendo's market value in 2 days.

Two.

TWO!

This shit is insane... Wish we had made it.

Seems to be highly addictive.

Good question. A stupid phenomenon, and I just found out two days ago ( Sunday )

A lot of grownups fat, tattooed walking like morons at a park. Probably 40 people. Not kidding ... when a friend told me they were all playing Pokemon go.

Embarrassing to say the least. I thought that Pokemon thing was intended for little kids

A Pokeman is a Gay person. A Man who pokes other men.

I thought this fad died out over a decade ago. I remember when I was in school (around 2001-2003) all the kids used to collect the cards, play the games and watch the cartoon. I remember going to the cinema to watch the first Pokemon movie.
When and how did it become popular again and why the fuck are adults interested in it?

Irongrip400 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2016, 04:04:20 AM »

I read about some chick who was playing and found a dead guy in a pond. Is it tied to people's phones, as in does it track random people's phones as a point of interest? It didn't explain it in the article.
