The offical Pokemon Go thread!

[Airaku]

I caught a Gengar at McDonalds today
So yeah... found some more dumb names on the gyms. Remember, I live in Edmonton and people are kind of weird here. Here's some new ones.

"PokePornPros"
"FuuuuuuckGirl" (This is a female btw)
"pikapooperchu"
"NutSucker99"
"SkittlesInLSD"

An epic one I found today is:
"iMightMagikarp"
That's just amazing :3


What weird names have you guys find?

So tonight I sat on a bench near a fountain just to chill, and I thought, might as well load up Pokémon Go. I did so and saw that where I was sat had two Pokéstops and both had lures. I looked around and there were like thirty people all with their phones out, playing.

Then suddenly an Aerodactyl turned up. And you literally heard everyone saying, 'There's an Aerodactyl', 'Oh wow, Aerodactyl is here!', 'Oh my god, there's an Aerodactyl!'.

Then suddenly all around the fountain, you heard thirty different people at different times shouting 'Yes, got it!' and punching the air. And then everyone started laughing at each other. It was great.

That.... sounds pretty typical from the videos I've seen online. I should go to a gathering and check it out Apparently someone false called a Dragonite at a park and everyone went running for no reason. I plan to go to the big one at the legislature building. There's apparently 1500 people going and another 4000 on the "maybe" list. It's ridiculous. The diversity of people that play this game is amazing. There is no way that Niantic could ever anticipate this success. No one should be angry about the server issues. This is record breaking stuff and I'm impressed with how well the servers held up so far. I'm sure they were expecting it to do well, but nothing like this.

Japan's pokemon go's release date: TBA

Actually it just came out in Japan xD

Any relation to Vodka Gummi Bears?

So I finally witnessed a Pokémon Go stampede today. Some one screamed Snorlax and everyone came coming. At least 50-100 people. I saw a guy almost trip and fall down the hill lmfao! It was crazy. I wished I recorded it xD

If this was crazy. I can't wait for August 2nd. There's already 1600 that are apparently going for sure, and another 4000 that might go. Freaking crazy!

Any relation to Vodka Gummi Bears?

No idea.

I really tried to be an adult and not play this game... but I eventually caved in and downloaded it. I can definitely see why it's so popular. Unfortunately I live in a small town so you actually do have to drive unless you want to be walking an hour between Pokemon and Poke Stops, but my boyfriend and I took a drive to Niagara Falls yesterday and walked down to the falls and there were tons of goodies and gyms and water pokemon. Obviously.

I had the game for a couple of days but I didn't get a lot of fun out of it because I live in the countryside lol. I have to walk too far to get to Pokestops. Most of my Pokémon were Rattatats & Weedles...

Aside from the Eevee & Bulbasaur I caught, anyway..

THEY HAVEN'T BROKEN ME YET, DAMMIT

The team leaders of pokemon go:

@La Femme Fatale
You can't be a real adult if you don't play this game. Unless you're that old If you grew up with Pokémon in your generation. Don't be a chicken and prove it! Let yourself go!
I'm so glad you gave it a try because it's a real blast. So much fun and it can really keep you going.

@lorddemolatron
The leaders look awesome.
Blanche looks by far the most bad ass. Not someone you'd wanna **** with. Serious and ready to take you on.
Sparks looks like he'd be your best friend who's always there for you. He looks like he has a sense of humor.
For one that loves the thrill of battle Candela looks the softest of the 3 imo. Still awesome!

 

[La Femme Fatale]

So there's a Pokestop in my office and I've caught an Eevee and Drowzee and Tauros without having to get up from my desk. Sweet.

My husband and I walk about 5 to 7 km almost every day. The district next to ours has a wonderful beer garden and three pokestops within reach, and people keep putting lures on them. So we sit there, drink, eat, catch pokemon and talk to other players. It's wonderful to see how this game brings people of all ages together.

 

[La Femme Fatale]

Bleh. I saw a Snorlax at the closest gym but it disappeared before I could tap that.

 

[blivvy]

I caught a squirtel yesterday... yay.

 

[Spikeyroxas]

On Saturday I hatched my first 10k egg.
I am now a father to a baby giant snorlax...........

 

[Airaku]

@Spikeyroxas
Seriously? Grats dude! What CP was it? and is it an XL? You're so lucky to hatch that!

 

[Spikeyroxas]

Is that uncommon?
Didn't realise

Its CP350 from hatch.
I named it Helena as tribute to rezzy.
No particular reason, I just thought it was funny

 

[blivvy]

That's what I've caught so far.

 

[Spikeyroxas]

Here are mine so far:

Spoiler: some have rude names

 

[blivvy]

So other than that starting trick, is Pikachu like ultra rare to find?

Also did u hear some guy in USA already found all Pokémon? Hax prob heh.

 

[Jen]

I've caught 67 Pokémon, got at least 15 ready to evolve, and I only today found my first Pikachu. I don't know if they're considered rare, but it seems they're rare for me, haha.
