    The game isn't even officially out yet but while I see people on the streets and at my office constantly playing Pokemon Go, on the Polish side of the Internet there's a surprising amount of negativity about it. People are saying that this is saying society is doomed. You know, the game that makes people actually go out and actually encounter and interact with people because of a shared interest? Seriously, why do people feel the need to trout on anything positive in the world? I honestly think this is one of the best ideas in existence. Like, so many people are saying "oh, so you can't even go on walks without your phone now?" I'm like, bitch, I go on so many walks everyday anyway. what do you care if I catch Pokemon along the way or not? Jesus.

    Agreed. It doesn't appeal to me personally but it's an absolute genius idea. Like you say, it gets people active and socialising.

    Haters need to shut the hell up.

    They envy those with a better phone than them who can get the game!


    well... probably not.
    they actually are envious that they have no Pikachu... But you do.

    I'm getting annoyed with all the posts I see on Facebook of people being grumps about it. Even got one person going on about how satanic it is, which I think is funny.

    Up to 40 in my 'dex. A ghastly randomly appeared in my office. Is my building haunted??

    The game drains your battery like crazy and freezes up on me constantly, but damn it is fun. My only real complaint is that pokemon density seems to be entirely driven by population density. So SOL to anyone who lives in a rural area? Even living in a suburb of a fairly large city I have to walk pretty far to find anything in my neighborhood. But at work in downtown, stuff pops up constantly.

    Can confirm. I live in a brand new area that only just got added to Google Maps in the past year or so, and it is smurfing barren. Around my office? Dawn of the Pidgeys.

    Downloaded it out of curiosity as it went live in the UK today. Caught a few round the house but it's honestly doing nothing for me. Maybe it's the crappy UK weather but I've got no desire to go walkabout looking for them. So yeah, it's a "meh" from me.

    Glad everyone else seems to be enjoying it though!

    It would be cool if what pokemon were available to you to capture was based on what team you joined, and you had to trade to get the others. Basically, the old red/blue/yellow GB system.

    I've had an Abra and Ponyta both just chilling in my apartment. Got Rhyhorn at the grocery store and Pikachu at work. And I just open the app for a couple minutes a day. I'm pretty happy with my haul so far considering I'm being real casual.
