<div class="bbWrapper">A few things about the Pokemon app/game.<br /> <br /> 1. If you enjoy it, play it. Everything in moderation.<br /> <br /> 2. If you play it, PAY ATTENTION please! Don&#039;t walk into traffic and don&#039;t play while driving!<br /> <br /> 3. I&#039;m a cop and the amount of problems we&#039;ve had with morons playing this game is insane. People driving like they&#039;re drunk, people trespassing on others&#039; properties, etc. The other day I had a call of a suspicious 51 year old male in the woods near a local business. I find him driving away and pull him over, he says to me &quot;I was just hunting Pokemon!&quot;<br /> <br /> 4. I wish I invested in Nintento a few days ago!<br /> <br /> We live in a weird time, that&#039;s for sure... lmfao</div>

In person is more powerful, and definitely give more strength for impulse buys. I guess what threw me off was the crappy part, but in person may give enough of an advantage. <br /> <br /> I love that picture. It&#039;s all I think of everytime I see empty tip jars.</div>

Drive slow, route around Pokestops, gyms, and existing lures.<br /> <br /> Gyms aren&#039;t for catching Pokemon, they&#039;re for battling.

<div class="bbWrapper">Am not very interested in games, but some valid points are made here.<br /> I just dont see the fun in collecting the pokemons if you cant battle any other people.<br /> <br /> Hotdog and icecream carts at &quot;gyms&quot; and lure locations sound good. Wonder if they like BBQ too..<br /> <br /> Other things to sell:<br /> Phone covers, dog/pet costumes, pokemon teddybears etc, candy.<br /> (Are pokemon cards still &quot;in&quot;?

I&#039;m sure more items, team choices, upgrades, downloadable content and in-app purchases will follow. That means more mugs, tees, stickers, hats, posters, you name it.<br /> <br /> It seems like Nintendo is just getting started, making sure things work on the most basic level. For example: they&#039;re still addressing server issues and bugs from MASSIVE amounts of traffic since the release. Slowly releasing new content as they polish the game will keep the hype machine running strong as players anxiously await updates.<br /> <br /> I grew up with the franchise and distanced myself from it over time, but downloaded Pokemon Go the day after its release. I love that the game encourages camaraderie, and I hope the positive effects persist. My city is hosting 5Ks and pub crawls around the game, and I&#039;ve read about animal shelters encouraging volunteers to take their dogs for a walk while they play. I think this was the incentive some unmotivated introverts needed to exercise, and be social. I&#039;m having a lot of fun with it, and I won&#039;t hate on anyone else who is too.<br /> <br /> A final note: Angels and VCs have said that virtual reality/augmented reality will be big, but the tech is still in its infancy. I think this will be an interesting litmus test for them since I&#039;m sure they&#039;re watching closely.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">When I first read about this Pokemon Go craze I thought it was very silly and couldn&#039;t believe adults were running around town doing this kind of thing. But then I started reading the book Inevitable by Kevin Kelly, and I started to think that the creators of this game are pure genius. <br /> <br /> I (in all my infinite wisdom) decided to buy a house out in the country so that my kids would have a big yard to go outside and play all day long and enjoy themselves. The irony is that my kids are completely of this new generation. They just want to sit around playing video games or watching YouTube videos all day, it is literally an argument involving all kinds of tantrums to get them to spend even 5 minutes outside (we even got a trampoline!). And I know I&#039;m not the only parent dealing with this. <br /> <br /> Basically all this was to say that after reading the book and thinking about my own problems and thinking more about the game, I realized that the developers found a way to meet people where they are at. They tapped into something they know people are already obsessed with (their devices) and meshed it with a fun game and the by-product is movement and exercise. I begrudgingly admit that I will be happy to see a larger variety of games along the same lines as this coming out in the future.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Just read the whole thread.<br /> <br /> Fascinating.<br /> <br /> People using their devices to go out, get more exercise, meet people, interact?<br /> <br /> Then the business opportunities?<br /> <br /> Did someone say it&#039;s got as big as Snapchat already? I&#039;ll have to check that out.<br /> <br /> It smacks of huge opportunities and chances to &quot;land-grab&quot;.<br /> <br /> I&#039;ll have a play to get my head round it. Maybe it will help us do more stuff with the kids outside - exploring places.<br /> <br /> Like my foray into Facebook and Snapchat, I&#039;ll use it like a consumer for a bit while observing how businesses are using my attention.<br /> <br /> Money goes where the attention is...</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The Nintendo stock is incredibly overpriced/hyped right now. If you&#039;re lucky you can still get a bit of money, but it will crash down really hard soon.

It&#039;s unfortunate and surprising how stupid these people are. I think just a couple days ago, fire and rescue had to save a couple of people who were looking for pokemon or whatever in a cave and got lost inside lol.<br /> <br /> In my opinion, this is just a glimpse of VR and how it&#039;s manipulating the masses so easily! Pretty soon, most people will be living in a virtual world escaping from their shitty &quot;real&quot; lives.</div>
