^ I thought for sure you were going to say this instead.tbh I've been having a lot of fun, hanging late night at parks after dropping a lure mod and seeing the people trickle in and then spending hours talking with people, yelling all excitedly about rare pokemon that pop up...
And I don't even play the game!
yeahno.^ I thought for sure you were going to say this instead.
A coworker of mine created an Australian-based account and runs the game with no problems.*Not available in your country*
Lol you're building is more like a gym building (where all the cool kids hang out, haha) than a company.A coworker of mine created an Australian-based account and runs the game with no problems.
Regarding the game itself:
- One coworker came to the office today, told everyone about this game and how he spent four hours driving and walking around with his friend, hunting Pokémon.
- Another coworker grabs the game, leaves the office for a moment, and returns shortly afterwards, proudly telling us that he caught a Pokémon while being on the toilet.
- By the end of the day, another coworker and even my boss grabbed the app and started hunting. And my boss actually walked over to one of them and said "Hey, there's a rare -some Pokémon- around here, drop the papers and come along and catch it."
- It turns out that around the entry to our company's office, there's one of these arenas. And another department has three players who took it over, but my boss and our buddies kicked them out and went to their office, mocking them and basically declaring war.
- ...and I sit there all day, do my work, not owning a smartphone (yet) and not being able to hunt.
I do believe that the attention paid to the phone while running this game might turn out badly sometimes. The newspaper made a report about the game (even though it's not offically) and stated that in a very busy shopping area in Vienna, there's an arena practically on the middle of the street. But I have to admit that combining a game with physical workout like this sounds really great, as the constant walking and movement, combined with the joy of a collecting game, might really help some chubby gamers lose a kilo or two. Might, but not necessarily.
Since I do not own a smartphone, I can't even try it for myself. But half the office is practically "kindly bullying" me into getting a phone and catching some Pokémon, so we can keep that other department away from our arena.
Well the atmosphere in my department is rather light-hearted, everyone's nice and joking around, and work is shared equally most of the time. Folks can go on their smartphone in between work for a little break, before continuing. Since I can't do that with my old brickstone of a phone, it can be a bit annoying to see the others browsing the web while I'm basically working non-stop (I'm more serious about work than most of us I guess, I wanna get everything done first, then take a good break).Lol you're building is more like a gym building (where all the cool kids hang out, haha) than a company.
Haha you sir just make my day better xD.Damn the game has a lot of bugs, but it is fun. The only real negative is, in my area people are jumping on pokemon go users on rest stops and gyms. (this why we can't have nice things.)
you would think. I've got a stop by the house though that i can hole up at tomorrow and put up some lure mods to see if i make any more friendsThis is absurdly awesome, now that I know what it is. Only wish there was more support for rural areas, pokemon really don't spawn that much in smaller towns. Which is funny, b/c when you think about it, you wouldn't find THAT many wild pokemon roaming around a city... right?
*Hanging around the park, waiting for people to steal pokemon from*
What do you mean its not implemented? Just gimme your entire phone, Rocket Lyf.
Lol I should've placed it here.With pokemon go booming, this is happens a lot.
