This thing has just freaking exploded in Des Moines. I never heard about it till yesterday, now its all over the news. Really weird yesterday to see well-dressed professionals during the lunch hour walking around downtown with their phones out looking for pokemon. So, today I decided to download it to see what the fuss was about.

I don't know if I'll stick with it or not, but I don't think I can say anything bad about a game that forces people to go outside, walk around, and get some fresh air and exercise.

Mother ****ing game wants me to run 5KM to hatch a ****ing egg SOB

I got it just for the hell of it to see what the fuss was all about and it's kind of fun and i've never played or watched pokemon.

how do you get more pokemon balls!? i tossed like 50 at a ****ing bat and now i'm out.

I just got a galaxy s7 edge 2 weeks back and i've already exceeded my monthly data. I'm not sure if it's because this game or some other bloatware apps running it all up. I mean i've only had pokemon go on my phone for 2 days and i've been working so I haven't used it much.

Feel like I can't play it anymore unless I pay for more data which isn't worth it to me.

Pokestops, which are everywhere. Go to them, click on them, and spin the disc.

The documentation for this game is not great. From what I can see on the internet, you are supposed to go to one of those big blue things on the map. When you are close enough you can tap it to go to another screen, then spin something by swiping on your phone to get it to spit out rewards which always include pokemon balls. I dunno precisely if thats how it works, but I'll try it out.

What happens when you walk into the ghey bar ?

Did I hear right that it made Nintendo $9 Billion this last week !

Downtown Lee's Summit is crazy with the Pokemon Go right now...

I have no idea what's going on. So your Pokémon fight and then you take other person's character? What is the ultimate goal of Pokemon? To just collect them and get higher levels?

Evolution bro.. Evolution.......

quick tip: when you throw a pokeball at something and miss, sometimes instead of vanishing, the ball will roll on the ground for a bit. If you touch it, you get that pokeball back.

edit: another tip: At level 5 you are asked to pick a team. I don't know how relevant this choice is, but it is not reversible so you may want to read what the obsessive people on the internet may have written on it. They are Valor (red), Mystic (blue), and Instinct (Yellow). Once you pick a team, you are (currently) with that team forever for that account.

On an unrelated note, I found this amusing for some reason.

The zombie apocalypse is here, and they are staring at their phones.

I gave in and downloaded it Monday evening. Just now reaching level 3. Only places I've been are work and home. I did walk to a nearby church which is a pokestop. Oh, and I got some 2-headed thing while I was at the convenience store on my lunch hour today.

This is super ghey. All of you. Super duper gheys.
