Wellll..

People already used the game and put lure modules to gather people in weird spot and robbed them at gun point...

I believe once terrorisis will understand the potential of the game, we could see various bombing where people crowd.

Not a actual reason to close the game ofc, but just a heads-up for players.

Also people are so focussed on their phone while playing (some) that they will not even see if someone gets closer with a bomb around the wraist...


So if pokemon can bring crowds together for "bombings" then you can ban everything that brings people together.

Ban cinemas!

Ban all sports stadia!

Ban all music concerts!

Etc etc.

It's a fucking ridiculous notion. People get robbed and attacked in their own homes, what do you want to do? Ban all homes!

It's like blaming the game for people crashing into trees, it's not the games fault that there are idiots, nor is it the games fault there are thieves and rapists etc.

Went to the beach with my gf. Got back to car. My car was parked by a gym. Decided to start battling the gym in the car. Two 12 year old boys start circling around my car (twice), as if that's normal, peering in. On the second round about my car they ask if we're battling the gym. My girlfriend says "no?". They start walking around a bit further away from the car, but keep peering back at us as if trying to figure out what we're doing.

That pissed me off. Social skills out the window. Stalking level pretty high.


Kids don't have social skills and are naturally curious. You were playing a kids game, in a public area, in view of kids. You sir are an ass.

Then I went to a different beach with my girlfriend tonight, and the pier was jam packed with people playing the game. Four pokestops all packed together on the pier. People weren't enjoying the starry night or the ocean breeze, just playing pokemon. I wasn't playing, but I pulled out my phone once we left the pier to see what was stationed at it.


Yeah I bet no one there ever looked up once, or felt the breeze and thought, wow this is so nice. You are an anti-social asshole, putting yourself in social situations, then rejecting and looking down on people for doing exactly what you want to do, but without all the animosity or anxiety that you no doubt carry around with you everywhere you go.
(I bet your'e such a pleasure to be around, your'e girl probably just loves it)

Fuck this game. I thought I could enjoy it here and there, sort of like a pass-time sort of thing, on walks. It's not social it's just weird. It's off my phone.


Good, more room for people who actually matter.

They circled my car twice peering in. After we told them no they kept staring at us pacing around. I'm a douche how?


Do you even understand how social skills work?


Kids are stupid, and do not have social skills, that's why they are kids, and go to public schools to learn these things.
If you get mad at kids for being stupid, please don't breed, you might murder your kids.

I quit because I went in way too hard and it just got played out. I know level cap takes forever to get to, I was 23. But at max level and once you find all the Pokemon all there is is gyms, and the combat system is weak as fuck.

I had a blast the first week though I won't lie, the nostalgia was enjoyable. And also talked to a lot of cool people I met while playing. I suppose I'll check it out in December when the new content drops, but I'll need some real end game not just a bunch of garbage Pokemon I've never heard of to catch.

It's a social game. They saw the gym being attacked and assumed it was you, which they were correct. Then you lied to them not sure if out of shame or just lack of social skills but regardless your gf sucks at it because they knew.

How about you just be friendly and say yes, and then ask which team they are?


by far the easiest way to start talking to people has been attacking gyms they're posted up at. Almost everyone I've met even hardcore introverts are super social thanks to this game.

People talked to me about a game and i didnt like it.

This game isn't social.

Pick one. Or none and be quiet. Preferably just be quiet.
