    Has this been used commercially yet? Like a business or location can pay Nintendo to put a super rare Pokemon in their store, pushing sales?

    Huh.

    Haven't played, I'm assuming in ap purchases, etc. The millions using it are exciting investors though obviously.

    I think you can put a lure in a location. A friend of mine who runs a store said they put a lure in their store to attract people in. I don't really understand the game that much or know how that works.

    Just wait until Nintendo starts advertising Amiibos on this thing, there's already a legion of 20-30 something neckbeards all over those things.

    I have the app but I've only spent about 5 minutes total on it. Haven't noticed any purchasing options though.

    From what i'm told... Microtransactions. I'm personally not into it but friends have told me that you can spend money to level up faster or something like that. Im not sure if there are any ads or anything like that.

    Or robbing houses. I expect some people will end up dead breaking into someone's house and Nintendo will be at least partly to blame legally for leading them there.

    Between this and Tesla auto cars running amok personal safety just got a lot more complicated.

    Shit, now Nintendo is releasing a mini-nes that has 30 nes games on it, they're really trying to cater to their old fans.

    ^ That's awesome! I want one! The list of games is impressive. Mario Bros, Metroid, Excitebike, etc etc
    This deserves it's own thread.

    I live by paris island i guess some marines got in trouble going through peoples yards to catch shit on base. lol. MP's showed up, probably figured well we are here lets catch these pokemon before we take these ass holes to the brig. Then i started thinking. What if a rare pokemon is in the brig? Was this the plan all along?

    It doesn't have Dragon Warrior though. I was pretty disappointed in that omission.

    My phone died two days ago. Under warranty, some battery issue, but it is an internal battery so they can't just replace the battery. Could be a manufacturing defect (it's a 6 month old phone), but I blame Pokémon Go. I'm not going to try catching anymore pokemon or poke ho's.
