Ingress/Pokemon GO

[Pleyo]

I know it may sound a little bit odd, but I'm quite curious if any fellow VCMP players are fond of exergames, specifically Ingress or Pokemon GO.

(also, this post was made for the purpose of getting new friends to send gifts on GO  )

What do you have against Pokemons?

[MaTrIx]

Its really cancerous as lilamar mentioned

 im against these applications, these kinds of applications proved to be so addictive that made things go far behind the red lines in many countries (including mine) , many accidents happend here because of this app , idk if its still allowed here but in my opinion every country should prevent this kind of shit; some people can control them self but those are the minority’s but on the other hand the rest will be addicted to it, and you know what addiction means and how harmful it can be.

But since we just opened the subject of addiction etc.. maybe we can have a useful conversation here and debate about social media and the addiction that comes with it; you open your facebook , you write a status and whenever you click the button “post” it will eat all of your mind, you start thinking about likes, about comments and about shares.. did they know that these projects can be that addictive? Did they know they can ever be harmful to someone? are we just subjects and slaves to some big guy afterall ? Do we really need to shut off all of these social media stuff? How can we control our self ?

Tell me ur opinion

Indeed, just on the Wikipedia page about Pokemon GO you can see an article dedicated only to the accidents that happened to players playing the game. It's true, no denying that happened, but you should also consider the fact (I don't know if you played the game) that the developer puts a disclaimer to stay aware of your surroundings, not to trespass in someone's private property or even playing the game while driving. Furthermore, it even says in Niantic's Terms of Service that it's a direct violation of their rules. So, all in all, the consumers are those who are responsible after all, but I understand your point of view.

Regarding the "cancerous shitty game", I don't know how much are you familiar with the Pokemon franchise. Basically, Pokemons were my childhood. Honestly, wouldn't you like to have a partner to accompany you as a partner, something similar to a pet? In addition to that, it's a game specifically made to make you go OUTSIDE and WALK which is very important to me since I rarely do any physical activity. I'd much rather to go out for a walk and maybe catch some Pokemon and I think Niantic made a really good job there.

Even though I started two weeks after the game released here in Croatia, I am still level 32, had a bit of an on-off relation with the game. Team Instinct for the win

It was a trend here in Philippines a year ago, I'd say it was addictive in a very odd way though its fun that there's this certain location where you can find and catch pokemons and encountering other people those who also tend to collect pokemons, was fun and had the chance to socialize with other people and by asking how many pokemons they collected lol was indeed good times.

And yeah pokemon was one of my childhood days so I feel you pleyo  pokemon card game that you have to flip a coin in order for you to attack. Good shit indeed.

That is the point. Going outside, playing with your friends even if they're the opposing team and maybe meeting someone new (in a way of somebody who actually shares the passion of encountering Pokemon, not some random paedophile trying to lure you in his van with his Rare Candies  )

Very easy to grasp, fun to play, time killing and great when you're going through the day from point A to point B.

Excellent.

I created this thread in hopes of making new friends on PoGo so I can send them gifts and vice versa.

Regarding the Pokemons, maybe if I ever stop in Peru, we could trade.
