My phone can't run it. I'm shopping for a new phone at the moment (no, not just for Pokemon Go...it's a coincidence, seriously). I don't know if I'd get too into it though once I do have a chance to play it. It seems like Pocket Morty's is more of a Pokemon game than Go but it doesn't look like a game that I would outright dislike.
Nope. I perfectly understand that their explanation for shutting down PokeVision makes sense, but I just don't feel like running around the neighbourhood makes much sense to me when I don't know what's what and when (or where).
Another thing that bugs me, though: That crappy little traffic graph they gave us to show us how traffic dropped - that graph may include PokeVision traffic, but it also includes me and and about 200 adults in my vicinity that just stopped playing last weekend because of PokeVisions forced demise. We deemed it a dick move right away and we still think Hanke et al made a huge mistake. But, hey, not my problem anymore.

I was really, really late to the party so I never got swept up in the hype. TBH I don't even think it's all that much fun, just a nice lil extra thing to do while I'm out and about. My kid really likes it though, she gets excited whenever I tell her I felt my phone vibrate while the app is on and she gave cute nicknames to all the poliwags we caught. (they're her favorite) I do hope that they put back/fix the footstep thing, that would probably motivate us to play a lot more knowing that a pokemon is close by instead of ??????
Maybe I'm in the minority but I've been playing it more than ever since the update. The loss of tracking doesn't bother me because I never used it: I prefer to just have the app open while I'm on a walk and catch whatever I bump into. More importantly, the latest updates have not only improved stability and battery use, they seem to have done something with the spawns that have led to a more diverse range of Pokemon. Before I could never find anything other than the usual plethora of Pidgey, Zubat and Rattata, but now I'm seeing Pinsir, Bellsprout, Growlithe, Abra and numerous water types every day. It's more enjoyable now than it was when it was at peak "fad", which just equated to shitty servers and poor performance.
I just caught a Bulbasaur!
My Bulbasaur is a fat bastard but it's the first one I've found so far. I only just got a new phone so I'm seeing how games run on it...by games I mean Agar.io (like crap, bad internet), Miitomo (must. fill. database.) and this. I want to walk around but I live in the middle of nowhere and my anxiety is keeping me from leaving my bedroom...for now...

Now that I have the opportunity to play it consistently (borrowing my girlfriend's second device, as opposed to relying on my smartnot-a-phone), I play it whenever I have the chance. Usually whenever we're out somewhere on walks.
Yeah, its something to do and it will still be interesting enough until I collect most of the pokemon there are.
It's too bad the gyms aren't all that interesting or I'd be interested in raising my pokemon's CP. But as it is, a 1k pinsir might as well be a cp10 weedle considering I've already got both of those pokemon and have no reason to be taking gyms.

Frappe posted his real name. Time to hunt him down for vengence on something he said in Religion and Politics 3 years ago...Caramel Frappe said:
No but seriously I am enjoying this game, only just really getting to play it due to being out of town. I spent some money on incubators and Ive got eight- five kilometre eggs all incubating to hatch at the exact same time. Its gonna be mad exp!
It's been out here for about a month and I'm playing it with my gf. We didn't go out so much because I suffer from chronic fatigue(CFS) which has lead to some anxiety, and she has depression, but we've gone for walks almost every day we've been able after it launched and seen much of our hometown we had not seen before. We also see a huge number of people playing it from every age group imaginable.
Really hoping the tracking gets implemented again as that was a feature I really wanted to try but was already broken when it was released here. Also for me gen1 has been perfect as that is the one I played the most and she had never before gotten into pokemon. The games got a bit exhausting when it went over 350 or so pokemon and now it's probably somewhere around 900-1000 different pokemon? But for the foreseeable future it's going to keep us outside few hours a day or every other day which is great.

There was a lot of miscommunication before the game was released. I saw in GameStop that there were pre-orders for the Pokemon Go Plus that would be released in August 1st, so naturally, I thought that was when the game was going to be released.
I come to find out that the game gets released July 6th, with several bugs, issues, and missing features. So initially, I was reluctant to get it; after traveling quite a bit throughout the month of July and using Ingress, I realized that there was really a lot of opportunities to interact with at Poke Stops and my relatives where catching all sorts of rare Pokemon left and right.
So I just waited for the update that came before the start of August and downloaded it (which I still would have done when the Pokemon Go Plus would have been released). I like the game; yes it's bare-bones and missing a lot of features that should be essential to the overall game, but I live near a lot of Fire-type Pokemon, so I think I'll get a great deal of enjoyment for the time being.

Nothing that I know of actually Im just being stupid sorry lol.Caramel Frappe said:
OT: So ahh pokemons. How shit is that glitch that stopped the footprints from working? Its hard to find rare Pokemon now...
I open it up every now and then but the selection of Pokemon in my area is incredibly limited, if you aren't into Pidgey, Rattatas or Weedles then you are out of luck.
There is little point in opening the app when 99.9% of the time you only get those three Pokemon appearing.
