You're right, no high horse for you. It's a shame you've spent so many years on this planet and are still concerned with how others perceive you.

Best of luck, hope you don't discourage your son from doing the things he enjoys.

I wonder how one would go about explaining the gaming industry to him...?

Anyone catched mewtwo?

The people that build missiles and spaceships and cars and computers and cell phones are out there catching 'em all on their lunch break. I think I saw at least 100 people in the park last night downtown, smack dab in the middle of Apple, Lockheed, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, and NASA, and they weren't high schoolers out late, nah pokemon was before their time, an 18 year old today wasn't even born yet when Red & Blue hit shores. I wonder how many biotech geeks developing lab grown replacement organs got hooked on biology after evolving Bulbasaur? Nah, that's a long shot right?

I've got buddies in their 30's giddily showing off whatever rare pokemon they snagged that day. A 30 year old today was 12 when Pokemon came out.

Enjoy your high horse buddy, I've got a gym to battle.

:party0030:

Nice. Didn't think I get a one. Any who, please fill out the Butthurt Report. I'll make sure to read it in deep.

Also all those people can be easily replaced. Not everyone in those industries are nerds or into video games. You can't lump every fan of Pokemon into that mix. Give it a month after people get their phone bill. As with every phone app game it's a trend. Simple games for simple people. That's my look at it.

You would have to be really luck to catch Mew.

Not everyone is everyone.

I've been having fun with it. Had a bitter sweet moment today, found a Charizard, I was super pumped. I caught it, but it only had 105CP :cry: (I'm level 10).

I'm playing it and am 28, it's great to have a game like this don't see why people are so butthurt about others having fun, if you don't like it good for you don't feel the need to come into a thread dedicated specifically for it and flame the game, just let it be, people are having fun and some people are getting more exercise than they have ever gotten their entire lives by playing this game.

On another note I hatched a Evee felt good then I got enough candies to evolve it and got a Jolteon!! does anyone know if the Evee evolution is random or do other factors determine the outcome?

The Earth's distance from the Sun has a lot to do with it.

Gotta agree with the super nerds here. Why does it matter where/what game is played? Add it turns out the vast majority of pokemon fans(and my little pony) are over 20 years old. It's odd, since pokemon seems like it was intended for children but I suppose what makes it any less than Call of Duty? If people want to walk around hunting for pokemon then so be it. No reason to look down on them. Not really any different than clash of clans. People already so this with Facebook... At least pokemon isn't full of drama and propaganda

I do not personally play pokemon but I support people's right to choose to play.

reddit is trying to figure this out right now. Every theory out there seems to be getting disproven though, so my bet is random.

Just started today!

Would have started when it came out last week, but until this morning (app got an update) it wasn't working on phones running Android N.... errr I meant Nougat :rolleyes:
