I thought about road rage but knowing the city I was in it was more fun to report it to the proper authorities as an impaired driver operating erratically and possibly on drugs. They likely spent an hour on the side of the road while being searched Edited July 20, 2016 by Bad324 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I've seen more good come from this game than from any other that has come out in recent years. I've moved my cardio from the gym to pokemon GO, I walked 22 miles in 3 days because of this game. The gf and I are looking into bicycles to start using to get stops and get outside more in general. The fact that you don't need to stare at it the entire time is great too, just turn your volume up or have 1 ear bud in and it makes specific sounds for things in game. People are taking those lures ($1 in the apps store and also given as rewards at certain levels) and placing them on locations in hospitals for the people that can't go outside. Using the game as physical therapy tool for kids. People are downloading other apps that donate money based on how much you walk and helping random charities. Stories of people meeting in parks and local food places selling food in the park to benefit from the sudden gatherings and people buying food for the homeless that are in the parks are becoming more common. Viral images of "while your out catching pokemon take a bag and clean up litter" and kids setting up water/snack stands to sell to people walking down the streets are constantly on my newsfeed. Now if only they could get the servers to not catch fire every hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anden Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Give it a shot. I did and took the kids a few places they had no interest in going before. I only started playing because I was getting bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 well i've leveled off. Did they ever fix the issue with all the permissions it needs and how much of a data hog is it? I'm cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 So I hang a bit at XDA Forums. A place for Android phones and modding them. The big thing over there now is faking your gps location so you can Pokemon without leaving the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mango_sv Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 You're a little late. The proof of concept was a game called ingress a few years ago. Still a shit ton of people playing around the globe. Also developed by ninantec iirc. Yep, same company. I played a little ingress in as a beta tester. Wasn't anything around me so I stopped.

TheBrown57 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 One of the reasons people spoof GPS locations is due to certain Pokemon only spawn in certain regions. People have been getting temp banned for it from what I've heard but Niantic is seems to be mainly worrying about server issues right now. I haven't seen much data used at all and to my knowledge it only uses basic information from a Google account now. Main thing is that it destroys battery.Also completely agree with IP.

redkow97 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hit level 13 today. Spent my lunch doing laps in the square by my office. There are about 7 pokestops and 2 gyms. Not sure how far i walked, but more than I ever have at lunch... Really wondering how devoted I'll stay when it snows! I am resisting the urge to power-up any of my Pokemon until I get to a higher level. Hoarding stardust for when I have something more rare to use it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
