    Any of you guys play Pokémon GO?​
    Personally, I think it's a great game I've actually gone outside for like once which I haven't done in yearsss! Playing this game has enabled me to make many new friends. The other day I made 4 friends playing this game. I was just chilling at the mall one day by myself (I sometimes go with friends, but I just happened to be by myself that day and I was walking around getting the Pokestops inside the mall and catching Pokémon by the Lure Modules.) and a group of kids were playing Pokémon GO and I asked them if they were playing Pokémon GO and they all said yes and ever since we've just been good friends.​
    What are y'alls thoughts on the game and do you guys have a memorable moment from playing the game?​

    Pokémon GO has continued to be really fun to play despite the various bugs, and I've also had some great experiences meeting new people! There's a cluster of three pokestops off the lake near my school, and people often put lures on all 3 and just rake in the Pokémon. While I was there with a friend of mine a crowd of about thirty people slowly formed by the lures, and everyone was really nice and we all messed around a bit. When a rare Pokémon appeared I would sometimes know before it even showed up on my phone because a wave of shouts about the Pokémon swept through the area. Somebody evolved a magikarp and all thirty of us just crowded around to see it haha.

    I could never have imagined that GO would create an environment of cooperation and friendly competition on the widespread level that it has, but I'm certainly not complaining!

    Oh yeah. It's quite a fun game. Am I the only one that likes to scream "Dragonite!" just to mess with people? I got a whole bunch of people to pull out their phones once doing that. :P

    I like Pokémon Go, but I don't actively play the game. I just don't like going outside. The game does have problems though. The gym system is broken and it's hard to catch Pokémon at the moment. I hope Niantic will be able to fix those bugs soon.

    Ehh, I haven't noticed that it's hard to catch Pokémon. Are you playing with one hand? I like to have my phone in one hand and use my index finger on my other hand to swipe the Pokéball up :P

    I gotta say, Pokémon Go is the best game I've played in a while. It's great to know that a game is actually doing something for you health-wise ^_^ My siblings and I like to play the "guess who's playing Pokémon" game when we're at the park. The only problem for me (besides the servers going down occasionally) is the battery draining. It kinda sucks when you can't be out catching Pokémon because your phone is flat. T_T

    The gyms are cool too, but I'm not really into them that much. Gotta catch 'em all!

    Yeah.. It sucks having your phone at like 20% and then going down to like 0% in a matter of 5 minutes, but that's because the app is doing so much. I like to carry around a portable charger or my actual phone charger when I'm going out places. :P

    I can see why the game could be fun for people.
    But I only use my phone for emergency phone calls and some social media and that's it.
    Not really a big phone user, so having GO in my world is utterly pointless.

    I know for a fact, my brother plays it.
    he is into HIS phone, unlike me. lol

    I was at the mall today and I had a bag in one hand, a Starbucks drink in that same hand too, and I had my phone in my other hand playing Pokémon GO lol.

    I'm surprised the Pokémon Go trend is still going strong. Usually apps kind of die off from news within 2 weeks.

    I think the only reason for it not dying off from the news is.. It's Pokémon :P

    It's honestly pretty surprising how successful this game is. Many people I know weren't even the least bit interested in Pokémon back then, but after Pokémon GO, they're suddenly huge fans. I don't know if the game is really that fun or they're just being bandwagon fans. Either way, I guess it's good because it's raising interest in Pokémon (not that it needed more interest tho).

    I was really excited for the game back then, and it just came out (officially) in my country this morning. I haven't tried it yet 'cuz it's not compatible with my phone lol, but I'm getting a new phone soon anyway. I can see Pokémon GO being a very fun social activity for me and my friends.

    I'm very addicted to this game when it was first announced a couple months ago I wasn't even excited about it. It sounded kind of boring, boy was I mistaken. Aside from getting Eevees from 10km eggs I really enjoy the game.

    Right?? The game is super addicting, and then you can't help but yell or something if a rare Pokémon like a dratini appears on screen. I just evolved my execcute into exeggutor and now it's my strongest LOL Before was my jolteon! What about you guys?

    My strongest currently is Arcanine which I caught one night while getting some ice cream. I really love playing the game, but with the heat and lack of Pokestops nearby it really kills my motivation to play it often enough. At the very least I try to check to spawn outside my house constantly enough, a Snorlax popped up there once and I've been waiting for more since.
