Re: Random Messages Thread: TM 12 - Water Gun

The only reason I really hate Pokemon GO is because it's on a mobile. I fucking hate mobile phones with a burning passion. The amount of hype is annoying me because I can't bloody play it. And no, I don't have £150 to waste on some stupid phone when I already have a working one.

If you buy an iPod Touch, you should be able to play it without having to buy a smart phone. It'll only work where you have wifi connection though, but they are cheaper than smart phones.

I do have an iPod Touch that was a gift, hence gift because I despise Apple. I only have music on it so I didn't know that it could do that xD Eh, I might get Pokemon GO eventually like I did with Rumble because they sometimes release free stuff a month or so after release. But it honestly depends how it'll work because I'm far more fond of main series Pokemon because Pokemon are easier to catch and the battle system is great.

Re: Random Messages Thread: TM 12 - Water Gun

I think some phones even cheaper than ipods...

But I bought my phone because I need it and the 'gaming' is just some additional features. I dont see a point to suggest someone to buy something that expensive.. i think they can figure it out what they want and what they dont all by themselves.

Because it doesnt seem like Lysson asked for suggestion about what device to buy. He kinda just ranting about the game he couldn't play...

iPod Touches run the same operating system as the iPhone and iPad do, iOS. Which means that it should be in your app store, just like mine.
@lovandra; Very true. You can buy some cheap Android phones for less than $100... but I would question the processing power of any decide that cheap, and weather it can actually run Pokemon Go.

Honestly though, I have an iPhone 6 Plus... and I really don't think I'm going to play Pokemon Go. Three words: Pokemon Dream Radar. Pokemon's last attempt at AR was horrible.

Re: Random Messages Thread: TM 12 - Water Gun

Another problem with Pokemon GO is if there's a good Pokemon, or even legendary, that's in a dangerous part of town or a dark ally there's no way you'd want to whip out your phone down there.

With Ranger they tried the Manaphy being able to be transferred to the main game as a selling tactic but even then Ranger didn't sell that well. So even if Pokemon are able to be transferred to the main games it's not that great of a gimmick. Especially since you can spend £25 on the game (lets say ORAS since it has a high amount of legendaries) and just trade for Pokemon easily. Whereas GO you have to pay additional for Pokeballs.

Pretty strong hate for something that has done far more good for the world than bad.

For some people, yes. Mobile phones are good for keeping in touch, stop you from getting lost (if your map system isn't useless that is) and can be good for looking stuff up on the go (especially if you have allergies) and taking pictures of stuff if you forgot your camera.

However in my experience the whole mobile phone deal has been a nightmare.
I don't want some annoying ex texting me in the middle of the night or a creep who won't leave me alone. Even then I've tried not to give my number out and these annoyances will pester and pester and I'll use excuse after polite excuse but as soon as they see I have my phone out I'm done for. Blocking numbers is ineffective if they use a mate's phone. When I'm out and about I don't want my mood soured by someone being horrible to me. They outdate quickly and break easily and I just can't afford £100 on screen repairs and the crippling monthly bills. The hierarchy of phones and class statements of them is not something I want in with.

If they invent an invisible phone that only I can see then I'll be happy because only very close friends and family will have my number.

I might've said this before, but my problem with Go is that it looks like you don't actually battle Pokemon, but your Pokemon have stats that determine how quickly they autoattack the other Pokemon. Hence the ability to group battle -- you're not actually partaking in a doubles match, you just touch a button and the game determines how fast your Pokemon's life bar drains and how fast the other Pokemon's life bars drain.

Really? I thought the battling system would be dumbed down but not that badly o_O That's... really lame. Pokemon GO will still be good for going on holiday with though, I have to admit that.

Granted, this is all just speculation, but from what I've seen in the trailer (mainly "Snorlax is under attack" instead of "SoAndSo challenged you to a battle" and the scene with Mewtwo and the scene with the 3v3 fight), it's real time and you can't choose what your Pokemon does.

...and I almost posted this comment in Hebrew. Hooray for global keyboard!

Anyway, like I've said before, I'm going to reserve Judgment on Pokemon Go until I've tried it. If I try it and don't like it, you can expect many flames Erupting from Troll Hell.

iOS has the ability to block numbers, and to set a do not disturb time. I don't know about android but i assume it does too.

Phone hardware outdates quickly, yes... but it takes about 5 years before Apple stops supporting its older products and giving them OS updates. Which means any Apple device made in the last 5 years should be able to run Pokemon Go.

Windows Phone is the same, I believe... Bu t I have a very long rant about how bad the Android update process is.

Apple and Microsoft update their devices themselves. Android is made by google, sent to the handset maker then must be approved by the carrier.

As for breakable screens and hardware, the cheaper phones are easily broken, yes. I have put my iPhones through a LOT of rough treatment over the years.... And never had one fail on me. The worst that happened was the screen got cracked once and my carrier's insurance replaced it.

Rumor has it the iPhone 7 will come with a screen that is ten times tougher than the current one.

I can't tell you how tough Androids are since I have had a bad run with them.

Samsungs are literally the toughest things ever. I dropped mine from the balcony of a two story building onto concrete. It only had a few scratches. It might just be Avants though.
