>>27316919 (OP)I don't like Mystic. One time I was sitting in my van at a local Pokestop when a sedan containing two fat ladies in the front and 3 kids in the backseat pulled up next to me. They were both smoking cigarettes with the windows up (I smoke myself, but don't do that shit with the windows rolled up in a car full of kids, Jesus Christ.)
I wanted to get them to roll a fucking window down, so I motioned for them to do so and asked them what team they were on as an excuse. "Team Mystic, woooo!"
I just smiled and said "Yeah, there are a lot of you guys out here. I haven't picked a team yet." (I'm Team Valor, but there was no way in hell I was exchanging team memes with these people.)
They then pressured me into joining Mystic because it had the "cutest players", and then asked me if they knew whether or not it was true more fairy Pokemon appeared during full moons, as they had read that on tumblr together.
I told them I didn't know, and just allowed the talk to to die before going home, feeling sad that there were people like that living in my town.
Never met anyone from Instinct because they're pretty rare.
All my friends play Valor pretty much, and literally three of them have the word "kike" in their names, so I guess they're childish as fuck, but I find it endearing.
Everyone here is talking about the kind of skill the players on each team tend to have, but that's retarded. This game requires no skill. Knowledge doesn't matter.
The true thing to think about is what type of player is attracted to each color. Childish rebels will like the red team because it's the "aggressive" choice. Autists, dweebs, and pompous egotist shits will pick blue team because it's the "intellectual" choice. Boring people and hipster snowflakes will pick yellow because it falls outside the standard Red vs Blue rivalry and they think that means it's the special "third choice best choice", different and indecisive.
