    I was at a store this weekend and the clerk helping me gets a phone call. He then has to spend about 5 minutes answering all these questions about the "pokemon gym" located at the store.

    Google makes a similar app for all ages, but more adults play it in my experience, called Ingress. People all over the world play it.

    There are other so-called geo caching games available, but I don't play any of them to give a recommendation or even a name.

    Stay safe, wouldn't want you to catch a Syphilisaur, or even worse, Charmidia and Magiclap.




    Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Magikarp are the pre-diseased root monsters according to the CDC, if you're wondering

    I looked at Ingress. According to the app store its made by Niantic, same company that made Pokemon Go.

    My kids play this. It annoys the fuck out of me. Trying to relax and they jump up, startle the hell out of me and my dog. to catch one of these things.

    Love that they are "active" though.

    Yeah it's what sly was really working on. The hookers will wear Pokemon suits and in order to catch them you've got to not get caught by the police who will dress up as Pokemon trainers.

    Shouldn't it be called the 'Pokémon Go Outside!" ?

    I did the same thing on Friday. I had downloaded the app on Thursday to see what all of the buzz was about. I step outside my front door on my way to work. I think, maybe I should look and see if there are any pokemon around here. Sure enough, there's one two doors away. I don't realize that you don't have to be right on top of it to catch it. As I am sort of walking in my neighbor's flower garden, a car pulls up and I'm thinking yeah, this isn't such a good idea... I still don't know what I am doing. But I guess if it motivates me to go for walks in the neighborhood it can't be all bad.

    Niantic was a Google startup project. One could think of Ingress as the completely free to play with no in app purchase proof of concept for Pokemon Go.

    I contemplated creating an Ingress like app where you could fight AR dragons and monsters, but figured some other company was already working on such an obvious implementation of this so it never got beyond the idea phase.

    I walked three miles today in the rough streets of Stayton... And couldn't catch one of these damn Pokemon. All the Pokemon that would pop up would be in people's backyards and I ain't gonna ask to go in people's backyards lol

    Slacker. Next time you complain about a Blazers lack of hustle I expect you to look in the mirror first.

    You don't have to ask, just hop the fence and catch that rascal! After all the occupants aren't at home, because if they were that Clefairy would have been captured already. Get back out there and make us proud!
