Pokémon GO

[TiMoN]

Yes this topic was inevitable.

For those living under a rock, Pokémon GO is a location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic. The game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual Pokémon who appear throughout the real world. It makes use of GPS and the camera of compatible devices. Although the game is free-to-play, it supports in-app purchases of additional gameplay items. An optional companion Bluetooth wearable device, the Pokémon Go Plus, is planned for future release and will alert users when a Pokémon is nearby.

Currently it's only available in the US, UK and Australia on both iOS and Android but you can download the Android APK from any site online(Android only, sry iShit) so you can play it anywhere before it officially releases in your country. It's 2 AM but a walk around the neighborhood got me a Bulbasaur and a Cubone. Has anyone tried it yet?

Not necessarily only Android, apple users can also get the game.

It's not officially available in the UK yet. I had to set up an Apple ID with a "US" region to get the app.

Two of the most contested gyms in my area are the Supercomputer and the Graphite Nuclear Reactor at ORNL (Oak Ridge Natl. Labs.). I guess we know what the nerds in the Labs are doing

Not bragging or anything.. but yeah, I have a Pikachu too 

Charizard was always my favourite, just because he was so stubborn!

Try it, I thought the same as you but it's kind of addictive once you get going.

[jovanca]

Ill take ur pikachu and ill make it my raichu julio. Srsly tho, whole point of the game is to go around looking for pokemons xD?

[Julio.]

Yeah aha, you evolve them, power them up, catch them... and you can claim gyms etc.

That being said, as a game it's not as feature rich as normal pokemon games, just very addictive, simplistic, and absolutely brilliant
