I get mad nostalgia for the original Pokemon on those marvellous big thick grey game boys 
The idea of Pokemon go is great and having people get outside and game with fresh air and exercise is great
But I am still very on the fence about whether to get into this myself oR not
Three of my friends are loving it but I already spend a lot of time playing computer games and it seems like this might end up being a big time sink
Could be awesome though...
Not sure yet

That's the single creepiest video I've seen on Pokemon Go. That was horrifying. The hive mind is here.

Guys a tip for leveling and powering up pokemon.(if your over level ten then forget this)
Don't level or power pokemon up before level ten. According to r/silphroad the general consensus is that once you hit level ten is when the average base cp of wild lokemon gets it's largest jump. So by not evolving or powering up pokemon before then you can give yourself more stardust until you catch the one you actually want to level and candies as well.

Jesus christ all that for a squirtle? I had a warturtle spawn right outside my house (random spawn as charmander was my starter). Glad i didn't tell anyone or my neighborhood would be fucked.

Quote:
Using Facebook to convey a warning of possible violence against a local community of Pokemon players, a 29-year-old Texas man named Nathan Cerda posted that he was planning to “purge” anyone attending Pokemon Go events or simply walking around collecting Pokemon. Detailed in the police’s press release, Cerda indicated that he was going to use modified paintball guns to shoot at people searching for Pokemon.
Utilizing an extremely limited amount of eloquence, Cerda specifically wrote “Warning……All u Pokemon Go people tomorrow me and some friends are taking out our modified paintball guns and we gonna Purge. And I know you stupid people are walking all over the place looking at the phone trying to find these Pokemon. Tomorrow we are going to be everywhere so be aware of your surroundings.” Cerda also mentioned his sister would be joining him before proceeding to like his own Facebook comment.
nathan-cerda1After being alerted to the threat posted on Facebook, the Harlingen Police Department opened a criminal investigation into Cerda and issued a warrant for his arrest on the charge of making a terroristic threat.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

I seriously just do NOT understand how some people can actually be foolish enough to try and play Pokemon GO while driving. Texting and driving is stupid enough. Actually playing a video game while driving? That is just asking for death. It makes no sense to me. Maybe they deserve to die in the car crash but the people they crash into do NOT deserve to die just because some idiot was playing a video game while driving.

Dont power up your weak pokemon. Save your candies to evolve high cp pokemon, then power them up. Catch all the rats and pigeons you can and evolve them to increase your xp. This will help you level up faster. You will catch higher cp pokemon the higher your level is. If you wanna level up really fast, find a popular pokestop thats always activated and use a magic egg (doubles xp). Just chill and catch whatever you can.
