That or you go to catch one and screen does not rotate.. reload the game.. catching in a ball.. reload the game.

The user base must be insane for this thing

Here's my local park, which appears to have lures operating 24/7

Snip, image of group wouldn't appear int he quote.

This image makes me think how much person to person interaction is going on in these groups, or is it just everyone focusing on the game and staring at their phones?

At least when we get together for sim racing we are talking to each other even if we are not present in the same physical place.

And at least they're in a park, not a holocaust museum

http://kdvr.com/2016/07/12/holocaust-mu ... n-go-here/
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum issued a statement on Monday that requested visitors to stop playing Pokémon Go on its premises.

“Playing the game is not appropriate in the museum, which is a memorial to the victims of Nazism,” Andrew Hollinger, the museum’s communications director, told The Washington Post. “We are trying to find out if we can get the museum excluded from the game.”
...
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the game itself,” Chris Desciora, a security guard at the memorial, told the Times. “But you know, maybe the game’s services could consider where they are placing the Pokémon or whatever. You should come here to see everything and to respect the memorial not just to catch a Pokémon.”

I'm with you. It seems like a newer version of collecting playing cards. Virtual, GPS driven items.

Guys playing it, what's the point/enjoyment?

I guess its hard to be crtical whilst driving a pretend race car, but theres obvious fun in that, I cant really see why Pokego is so popular besides playing on the childhood thing.. i give it 2 weeks before its Kony'd.

I'm just amazed at the amount of people that have adopted it and the lengths people will go to catch em all.

Considering Rhodes is sitting on reclaimed defunct chemical factory sites, I'm not at all surprised crazy shit like that is popping up out of the ground.

I encountered my first Pokehunters last night on my mountain bike ride.
It was pitch black, except for my insane amount of lights attached to me and the bike and as soon as I saw they were walking and staring at their phones I yelled out some encouragement to their amusement.

I couldn't help but think, at 10pm I feel like the crazy one riding my bike in the dark. I didn't feel so bad after that.
