MattP Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Anybody on here on this app yet it's come as a shock taking the smartphone gaming world by storm. It's single handedly raised Nintendos stock by £5.4 billion in a matter of days. There are loads of 90s kids playing it walking around local towns haha it really is strange to see.

JasonR24 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Downloaded it and it's total rubbish. How they class flicking a ball at something a game I don't know. Got my old game boy out after deleting it and its miles more enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolizma Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Ive been a massive fan of the old game boy one. Remember spending loads of hours as a kid. Has this got anything to do with the old game? I mean do you just walk around catching pokemon or are there fights too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm tired of hearing about it already. I thought the old pokemon games were boring when they came out too so no nostalgia there to keep me coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have pokestops that are consistently churches and library's where we live you go there to get free poke balls etc Then you have Gyms that apeear to all be war memorials where we live you go there to fight It's a very simple yet strangely satisfying game. Nintendo are laughing at all the money they are making they have had a tough time the past few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catching is just flicking a ball. I don't get how anyone is playing it, totally dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 What trick?! I want a pikachu If you leave the starter Pokemon 4 or more times he will appear with them so you can then simply pick him. It's a easter Egg they put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianhid Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It's a terrible Pokemon game when you compare it to the others Nintendo have made, but it is a fun AR game. Loads of my friends on it, I've got it etc. Seems to be mostly mid-20's to mid-30's playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glanza_Mike Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've downloaded it but havent had time to play it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I downloaded it this morning, had a go while.i was out walking the dog. I think it's a great idea, but I don't think it's a very good game. I immediately get the impression that it will be much easier if you live in a city, rather than a suburban / rural area. The capturing system sucks too. They could have easily used a battling system for capturing Pokemon like on the old gameboy game, instead of a lame finger swipe. Oh, and it really chews through battery life! Hats off to Nintendo (Niantec?) for the innovation, apparently their share price has gone up 50% since launch! But I doubt it's something I could get in to.
