Your thoughts about Pokémon GO from The Pokémon Company/Niantic Labs/Nintendo?

Servers are hammered, but the one time I could log in it seemed nice. Somehow similar to Ingress (go figure...)

It would be great to capture pokemon and have to fight with the one you captured to capture others, like in the game, not only throw pokeball

Thinking it might be funny to hide in the bushes till someone comes looking for pokemans, then jump out "pika pika!" look to the sky, and run away.

I opened the Google Play Store on my PC with a VPN which connects me to America. And it did worked.

I think the trailer is promoting Augmented Reality without actually being about AR. oO

People encounter Pokemon in the weirdest places. Makes for some nice screenshots though

Version I have doesn't seem to have the flagged permissions shown in that article, but you're right it was pretty reckless of me to just link that. My apologies.

Apparently there are reports of people being banned for playing it in unsupported countries, but I can't find any hard evidence of this. Articles say it's happened, and to be cautious, but the closest thing to hard evidence is a screen cap of the "servers are busy" screen. If someone is actually banned, and there's a "you are banned" screen, why aren't they showing it? I have suspicions that anyone has actually been banned.
It'd be really easy for niantic to just ban everyone outside their currently active countries all at once, there's no point to doing them as one-offs.

The game is a bit unfair. I stopped playing the game for just one day, and my friends have waaay better Pokémon than mine.

Yes, Pokémon is mainly for younger audiences but, it in fact, is not the reality ^^

Those kids must be from the Simpsons/Springfield to still be kids 20 years later.
