Dunno all the details, but there's a game called Pokemon Go where you try to locate and capture characters with your smartphone. It uses your GPS or something. The sprites appear in random places. You can't see them but your phone can.


Like a Sprite bottle? I'll back out as I was just curious. I wouldn't have a clue but maybe my kids would enjoy it? Thanks for reply

Sooooo many nerds at City Park doing this shite. Hard to get my cardio in due to nerds escaping moms basement to find Pokemon or whatever.

Not the kind you drink. A sprite as in a little computer generated character.

I haven't played but I saw a few people trying to catch them earlier today.

Still having a hard time believing this a real thing. I read about it every where but I've yet to witness anyone doing Pokemon first hand.

Viva la Resistance! Not no damn whiney baby frog that's for sure.

11 as well, I don't play as often as I would like, but it keeps me entertained while exercising and I have seen shite I wouldn't have seen had I not played it.

I've gotten into Go Rucks from it as well. My Go Ruck double badges from Orlando keep me happy.

Just go to a college campus and you'll find them

Someone posted of a pic from college in Texas and there were around 100 students all playing it

Just an FYI if you signed up with your google account you gave the app FULL access to your Google account. They can do everything but change your password.

I just went into my account and revoked access.

I actually live about 100 yards from a college campus. Need to pay more attention when I'm driving through.

Heard about this today from a coworker in his 40s. Couldn't wait to get off work and chase down the pokemons...

I'm 26 and of course the majority of people on my Facebook are playing this. Half to feel some kind of nostalgia. The other half just because they are fricking weird. Anywho. Old roommate of mine. Sweet girl but kind of nerdy. She goes off on our friend who was bashing it. She was going on about how it's getting people out of the house and meeting new people, etc. I'm just sitting here thinking. Why do these techy nerds need a game to go outside? I work ten hours a day. Come home. Eat. Go for a walk. Stop and talk to people in the neighborhood. Some days we pull a brother move and set up the little charcoal pit in the drive way for a get shitty and grill. You know. Regular people shite. Now I'm being accosted to play some fricking game every time I run into someone. People in their mid twenties shouldn't be playing Pokemon.

Not sure how it works, but the employees at my office who are in their mid to late twenties are obsessed with this shite and it's the saddest thing I've ever seen. These are young adults chasing fictional Pokemon around the office and around the building at lunch. I am so confused by it.


Yeah, really sad for adults to be obsessed with a children's game, like football and baseball.

Maybe not out in the middle of Bumfrick, but go into any major city or college, and you'll find people in the bar playing it.
