Kill those complexes, they are toxic for yourself

And have people look down on me just for some meaningless principle? No thanks lol

Oh please, you live in a country where Eurovision is a huge event and a national proud, and they gonna look you down for talking about videogames on the internet? Maybe you are the only one embarrassed with yourself for no reason at all.

It's all fun and games but I'm glad I have a loud bell on my bike. Just because you're walking on a bike path doesn't mean you can stop paying attention to traffic lol. Almost ran into a few poke players today.
I didn't see any crowds though, 3 people max together.



Would've easily been 5000 last week :P

Por una cosa de estas que pasa en mi país, y no es en mi ciudad :(

Tengo la impresión de que no será la única, no me extrañaría que se hiciera otra por Valencia o Barcelona, aquí está pegando muy fuerte aunque era de esperar, siempre se ha adorado a Pokemon en este país, hasta la "copia" (yoktai) vende de puta madre y encima en eso de salir y relacionarnos somos normalmente más deshinibidos que la media, vamos, que es el lugar perfecto para este juego.

Real animal though

Can your "real animal" use thunderbolt? Can it evolve into a Mightyena? Can it fit in a Pokeball? Ha! Didn't think so.

To be fair... nothing in Pokemon go evolves into Mightyena,

So happy I live in a quiet neighbourhood with almost no kids. XD



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

PokeMania II continues...

Yet.

You get the idea.



Just a reminder, keep it on topic guys. Don't trash each other's hobbies, and don't make personal shots. Should go without saying...but apparently it needs to be said still.

Anyways, this is pretty amazing. I lived in Madrid for a few months while I was in college, and Puerta del Sol was one of our first hang-out spots (I remember even spending my 21st birthday in a bar right off the plaza). Pretty crazy to see it this packed, and for Pokemon no less.

I think it all looks so childish. Adult people running the streets catching imaginary animals.

Last week at my work a girl came and told us we apparently had a Pokemon gym just outside the building. And everyone was like, what on earth are you talking about? What a nerd...

Because God forbid anyone to have fun with their hobbies. Is it also childish to hold a stadium event including a children's party game that's over 15 years old, as well as broadcasting a virtual fighting game on ESPN? Perhaps, but if massive amounts of people get enjoyment out of it, don't judge and say anything about it.

Also surprised that it's not a petition to fix the goddamn servers. Seriously Niantic? That should be the #1 issue than anything else.
