How do you feel about Pokemon Go ?
well I did have fun with it... for a day. thats it. like there isnt really ANYTHING to do in it. there are 133 pokemon (if im not wrong) in it which you can catch in a few days or a week maybe and the arenas are only there to get some money to buy more pokeballs. So what you can do is just catch the same pokemon over and over again. I mean the base is there and i mean its pokemon so if there were actual fighting in it and trading and everything and of course all the hundred of bugs would be fixed it might be an awesome game but right now its just catch the same 133 pokemon over and over again and have nothing to do really except for taking over arenas to get money for no reason.
Also on a little side note while I was out I took over an arena and I suddenly heared a "who the hell is lino?" shout XD I got scared by the way they said it but we talked a bit and they were pretty awesome people. They showed me a few of pokemon and I showed them mine and we talked about what groups we were in and so on. it was pretty cool but yeah the game itself is kind of empty right now

You catch 133 pokemon on 1 day :O ???
The game is on beta and only available for just a week, that's not that much and they will add new feature gradually, we just need to be patient a bit ^^

XD of course i didnt. i got like 50 in the last week while i didnt play it much though. but i mean like I know all the pokemon in it already and just catching them has no real point for me. Its not like i get anything out of catching every pokemon. And yes its only out for like a week but still i kind of miss the good old times where games got released when they actually were ready to. Like right now i would call pokemon go a beta test. There is barely anything to do, almost no features at all, buggy as hell and no end game content at all. lets say you got all pokemon and trained them to lvl 100? (not sure what level is max or even if there is a max level but pokemon logic tells me its 100 :P ) after that you just beat people in gyms to get useless money. as I said the base is there and its kind of fun too but too much is missing in the game. in half a year or a year if they make it right it will be lots of fun but right now its just repetitive and boring

Although in general I agree the app doesn't have many features to support long term play atm I'd like to raise a few points.
First there's not 133 pokemon, the highest entry in the pokedex that you've caught is the last it shows. All gen I apart from legendaries is already in it which brings it to at least 146. Legendaries will probably be rewards for events i'm guessing, or extremely rare spawns that in the week the app has rolled noone has yet seen. Next gens will be gradually added in future updates as "longevity" injections till they figure out a real endgame.
From datamining during the closed beta phase the max Trainer level was confirmed to be 50, no idea if it changed since it went public. I dunno why you mention pokemon levels, they do not exist in GO, that system has been replaced with CP which is still quite unclear how it works besides the fact it's directly linked to Trainer Level. So unless you achieve max Trainer level you cannot achieve max CP. Insane grindfest.
Also Pokemon never really had any endgame content apart from "Catch em all" and max em. The only thing that could be considered "endgame" is competitive multiplayer which already is half there in the form of gyms and if the original trailer is any indication casual battles are also in the works.
Imo the success of the app is due to what you said last on your original post. Meeting up fellow trainers, exchange tips, form groups, go venture together etc. I don't know where you are but at least here in Hrakleio it certainly achieved that. You'll run into a few people playing in every place there's 3-4 pokestops around. I'm going to Athens tomorrow and I just hope it has caught on just as much.
And btw I had the same opinion with you before I actually tried my luck downtown, but once I did I just caught the PokeFever xD

A fellow greek i see :3. Ok i didnt know there were more pokemon right now, but a few ten more wont change much for me. When I said pokemon level I meant the trainer level plus powering up the pokemon to the max point. Yes there wasnt ever really any more end game content in pokemon but there was some jkind of story in it. You were traveling the world, collecting all badges and defeating all bosses (like the gym leader and elite four and so on). I dont really like the multiplayer mode in it right now. It feels more just like you are button mashing against an AI and nothing else. There is no real tactic, no different use of different attacks, no items to use or anything else. Its just you vs the AI in a button mashing duel. As you stated "deature will be gradually added in future updates" but right now its just empty and repetitive in my oppinion at least. The biggest downside of it for me is that you cant fight wild pokemon. you just throw balls at them. Catching new pokemon doesnt feel exciting or fun to me. It feels like a chore to do. Just walk around until you find one and spam your pokeballs until you catch it. That just isnt much fun for me. But as I said in the future when there actually is much more content in the game it probably will be much more fun. Also I have to agree with you that the social part of the game is what makes it so special. I dont know a saingle person that goes alone on pokemon hunt. Everybody has a friend or two with them and they go together out and have fun outside and meet new people and everything plus its pokemon. thats reason enough to be well known already XD

I can't play with the camera :(
It wouldn't work and kept saying "were not detecting your phone's orientation. Would you like to turn off Ar mode?" So I googled it and apparently my phone and a lot others don't have a gyroscope >.<
So I'm giving this one a nay. It's also a battery drainer!

Got the exact same problem :( That's still fun but yeah It's kinda sad :(

I read somewhere that you can have it unofficially in IOS too, but I don't really remember how... You need to take it in a foreign appstore like the australian one I think
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea I found out I could change my appstore to like US and create a new account but I didn't want to go through that struggle and was afraid it would mess up something with my apps, savefiles, accounts or data so I just waited aaaaand: It was great because since yesterday, it's officially available for me and I got it now. Although didn't try yet because of server heavy load >.<

I voted "I couldn't care less" - Simply because the Pokemon franchise was created when I was ~15, so I was a bit too old for that type of thing\cartoon (it never even registered)

Shallow game for manchildren who get nostalgic about a shitty cartoon.

I was introduced to this this evening by my 12 year old nephew. It felt like the perfect age to be excited about it, so I voted "I couldn't care less", as it's what I do (or don't). Don't let my unexcitement get in the way of your fun though, I'm simply too old for it ;P

The game doesn't support any of my Android Phones, so I can't play it. I wanted to use my ZTE Whirl for it.

Microsoft protecting me from this madness. Windows 10 Mobile is their secret plan to guard from everything new, inappropriate, heretical. From Google services, 360-degree videos on YouTube, PayPal, action cameras control apps, banks apps, choice to use different app if "this one" do not like and so on. In this list Pokemon GO present as well. Cannot say that I am disappointed, but something upsetting I feel about that...

My phone is good for many things, but for taking pictures I prefer a camera, and for playing games I prefer a PC. In fact, I don't have a single game installed on my phone and this one definitely isn't going to be the first. So bottom line, I couldn't care less :-)
