I used to do tournaments on the original red/blue 16 years ago! Can’t believe it’s been that long. My lineup was EPIC. I remember the pinnacle of my awesomeness when my one Mewtwo beat 6 mews in battle, that 40 year old nerd probably committed suicide afterwards. Recovery FTW! ---

Probably the smartest use of augmented reality I’ve ever seen. As a software developer I just love this idea.

So yeah, this just started in my household. Wake up to a text from my wife who went to sleep after I did. “just caught a Pokemon on your ass” Caught 4 purple rats while mowing today.

Supposedly the state is trying to ban it already. Major issues with people trespassing locally. I guess there’s kids going onto the 990 on foot. People in people’s yards at all hours of the night. I know the cheektowaga police have seen a VERY significant increase in call volume due to suspicious vehicle/person calls that are due to pokemoners.[ATTACH=CONFIG]36609[/ATTACH] ---

If NYS bans this I’m going to flip a shit, not because of the game but because of the bullshit babysitting government we let make decisions for us. ---

I am out at night. I usually wander around Delaware park and Kenmore. Surprising how many people are out playing. There is three Pokestops near me so I usually hit those up and go to the park. I have switched to wear gym clothes and head phones when I play. I realized I was roaming around some buildings one night and surprised no one called the cops esp since most of my attire is black tshirts and jeans. ---
