My mom put the game on her phone yesterday after she caught her boss playing it at lunch, haha.
Since she can't have her phone turned on during exams, she's letting me have it during the day so I can go catch Pokemon. Me and my brother are going to go to the lake tomorrow to check things out. For now all I have is a Bulbasaur [best gen1 starter :DDD] but I've seen all kinds of silhouettes in the nearby tab, including eevee and cubone ;w;

All these casuals playing Pokemon Go, yet I bet none of them will buy Sun/Moon when they come out in November on 3DS.
Literal casuals. |

When I first heard of this I thought it was the stupidest thing, now I'm on team valor and walking around town with my kids trying to find Pokemon.
That escalated quickly. |

Your kids are old enough already to use a cell phone? I see your profile you're only 28 so I can't imagine them being more than 5 or so.

It can work on his phone, he just needs to download the latest APK file and side load it.

He pronounced it "Poke-e-man."
Somehow I feel like we time traveled back to the year 1999 again. God this is bringing back flashbacks. Only now its phones instead of Gameboys with Pokemon Red/Blue. |

His phone appears to be compatible but the game crashes instead of starting. Not the only game it happens with.

Others have mentioned it, but yeah, beware now...
And if you thought people were already too distracted by their phones, well get ready: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2710266 http://www.people.com/article/pokemo...hile-using-app http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/th...o-in-new-york/ http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/pokemon-go-...tracks-1570308 ...And I guess some are even playing it at inappropriate sites: |
