I don't know. I hope there's more to it in the future. I go on long walks anyway and this just made them more interesting.

It's everybody's adolescent fantasy come true: real-life Pokemon.

That's it, really.

I'd like it more if they bothered to programed it so pokemon appeared locations that correlate to their individual species.
But I could see them getting in a lot of trouble to keeping Ghost pokemon in cemeteries and electric pokemon in abandoned buildings.

Anyways this whole thing is just teaching me how boring the Gen 1 roster was by today's standards. There's some good mons, sure. But on it's own, it's really lacking.

Short of whipping some kind of mutant bio-luminescent kangaroo rats in some secret government lab, it's about as close as you're gonna get.

>>27032304
I meant more in the "go out around your neighborhood and catch wild Pokemon" sense, not in the "drag cupcakes onto your Pokemon until a heart pops up" sense.

It takes the core gameplay strips it down to practically nothing, and then inserts it into the real world.

It makes walking around fun because you have something to look for.

Granted, it's bleak right now, but they should be adding more generations eventually.

It's just something new and different.
Quit fun when your out and about having your phone go off and seeing what just popped up. Spotting a gym in town and seeing who or what's defending it.

I feel like I'm the only one on this board who actually played Ingress. Actually having to go out to real locations is a level of interaction with the real world that you never see anywhere else, and it's insanely fun. The only problem was that Ingress had shit and unnecessarily complicated design, mechanics that required you to grind for a long time to be competitive in your community, and one of the worst edgy aesthetics I've ever seen. Nintendo saw the potential, scooped it up, worked out some design flaws, and branded it in a way that would ensure enough people played it for it to be fun for everyone. Yes, it feels a little like a buggy, hollow collectathon, but more than that it feels like an incredible formula for a game that's never really been attempted besides with Ingress because the technology was never there. It's everything they wanted street pass to be and more.

You realize this is a geocaching game right? The idea is to leave off playing with your genitals and go for a walk?

It's like Geocaching with some changes.

If you don't like that then you won't like this.

I've heard of people who met some strangers and ended up having a good time already because they were both after the same stop or pokemon or something at once and ran into each other

That plus all the walking people do instead of sitting around, what can you say about it that's bad. At least it makes people socialize a tiny bit and "exercise" a little
