Modern Vespa

Anybody on here trying to be the very best like no one ever was?

Don't scoot and play!

When you installed it did you need to approve aces to you profile?

I did for gmail, but Niantic pushed a fix so that they can't access any personal information other than name and such. And Google will be doing so shortly.

It shall be a pass for me.

Boating, scooting and MV are all the entertainment I need.

I just caught Scyther. Now what?

I tried it on my daughter's phone. I suppose it would be fun if I didn't have 100 other hobbies I enjoyed a lot more.

Saw lots of packs of pale nerdy looking folks out this weekend everywhere. I thought...My PEOPLE have been SET FREE!!!!

They were loving it.

I need someone local to help me set it up.

I heard PETA is not very happy with Pokemon Go. That is People for the Ethical Treatment of Anime.

Somehow trade it to me? I'm dying for a scyther.

Currently my top Pokemon are a 1024 CP Arcanine and a 987 CP Vaporeon.

I think what makes it most fun is a huge dose of nostalgia for us 90's kids. I still buy every single main Pokemon game (with the exception of black and white and their sequels). It's a fun way to casually pass time, but Pokemon GO is a fun way to be competitive and actually meet other people.

My favorite part of the game is trying to take control of gyms, especially when there are many people from each faction in one spot trying to take control of the same gym. It's super competitive while still being in good fun.

I know. A couple people at work were envious. One even followed me inside and one of my coworkers used up all her traps trying to catch it. It busted out twice and it is kinda hard to hit.

Heh

Pokemongo:

My biggest gripes were constantly having to put my log in info everytime the servers went down. And all the damn Pidgeys and Zubats.

I also hate how hard it is to catch Zubats. It's a Zubat! They're supposed to be disposable easy to catch Pokemon, but they flit around so much and so fast that it feels impossible to be able to catch them. And I hate how close most Pidgeys are when trying to catch them. I can't get the ball in the lit circle when the game places Pidgey so close that a weak toss sends it way over the Pidgey's head.

I'm stalled until it lets me have Huskyteer as a username. I refuse to believe someone has already used it, so I reckon it's a server overload issue (the game has only just been officially released in the UK).

Ditto!

Another Ditto for me.

This sums it up for me

Me too. Scared to say ditto again.

I was listening to the Boomer and Carton spots radio show on WFAN in NYC.
Craig's take on this craze:

"Another generation of young men that will never see a naked woman until their 30's"

Well just the other day in a city five from where I live and on a street I often travel a "@$#%&" crashed his car into a large tree while playing this "game". I'm sure it won't be long before we hear the report of the first fatality caused by someone more interested in capturing some imaginary critter on his or her screen than paying attention to driving. Just glad the guy near here hit a tree and totaled his car and did not run over some kids walking home from the park. Just hope the tree survives, it was probably over 150 years old from the size of it!

Darwinism at work??

Perfect.

Yup, can see it now. Nerds with cell phones in hand trying to catch this poor biker....

Damn you guys are ruthless to other people's interests

Edit: Whoa. On second thought, I'm the ultimate nerd! The thought of relinquishing my pocket protector is beyond me.

B

Not my generation. I'm Pete Townshend's generation. Wanna play Monopoly? Rummy?

The Japanese have already tried to ruin pornography, now this?

Perhaps mousetrap? Or is that still my generation?

Going over the news tonight, someone rear-ended a car abandoned in the street whose driver left on a, er, quest. And two guys fell off a cliff in Encinitas (California) trying to catch Pokemon.

This is going to be interesting.

And the Holocaust Museum is kindly asking visitors there to refrain....

BUT, the Nat'l Park Service on the National Mall has embraced it and has rangers out and about helping people find Pokemon on the National Mall

Not this time, only minor injuries, possibly broken ankle.

Oh! Just read an update on this one. Guys brother has started a GoFundMe page to get $3,000 to replace the car! Last I checked he had got around $250. To say the least the comments on the GoFundMe page are not exactly suportive most of them I'm sure would get me banned for life from MV!

Wonder how many were playing in Nice, France?

I don't think its been released in Europe. The US/Australia/Canada put much more demand on servers than was expected, so they stopped the roll out of the game until they can have enough supply for the demand.

I am sure a group of data center techs are busy racking, stacking and cabling the next deployment of servers to get them back up to data and bandwidth capacity.

Bad day

No one has mentioned the criminals lying in wait to rob Pokémon hunters.

Sorta like Craig's List...
