Anyone in IRON been playing this? If you wondering what this is, Pokemon Go is a new augmented reality game that utilizes your phone's camera and GPS location. Its a free game that runs on Apple and Andriod phones. You walk around outside and Pokemon will randomly appear on your phone screen, you then throw a pokeball to catch them. There are some team like features where your team color can control real world locations. Anyone on your team can go to that place to train or hold some type of an event. Other team colors can attempt to steal that location from your team if no one is there to protect it. The game definitely encourages exercise and exploration.

 

Some of my friends and co workers have been playing and its downright hilarious watching them walk around. I was at a party a couple days ago and 2 of my friends insisted they had to go on a walk to look for Pokemon. Then yesterday I was hanging out with a friend and he just had to walk around a nearby park to see what he could find. He got incredibly excited when he saw a battle going on in the area (other people playing the game) but he wasn't a high enough level to join in.

 

I've heard stories ranging from funny to absolute stupidity. One of my coworkers told me one of his friends almost got hit by a car trying to catch a pokemon. Another one of my coworkers was walking around a bunch of heavy machinery being operated trying to chase a pokemon. Also, the same guy I mentioned earlier about walking around the park, he was out driving and decided to catch a pokemon while waiting at a red light. Thankfully none of these people were injured but I can relate to how addicting this game is.

 

I have a Windows phone so I unfortunately haven't been able to play, although given the game's immense popularity I would imagine a version will be ported over in the relatively near future.

 

If you do plan on trying it out, just remember it has bugs and it does drain battery life quicker than most games/apps.


The idea of war is not to die for your country, it's to make the enemy die for his.

Samus because of your dedicated service to IRON; your high casualty count and aid given your fellow IRONers. I hear by baptize ye in Fire and blood. You rise as IRON!

You may now wear proudly in your Sig "I have been Baptized in Fire and Blood and emerged as IRON."

MVP(Mod’s Choice)= Master Samus; I think Master Samus played amazingly for a guy who claims it was his second only mafia game. He never led the town on him and that’s why he deserves this award. He was impressive in manipulating the town that led to the ultimate mafia victory.
 
Player of Mafia; Master Samus/emudevelopment (shared); I think both were instrumental in the town’s defeat. Both were manipulative and deceptive. They clearly came out as pro-town and looked like de-facto town leaders. They led the lynch wagon w/o anyone uncovering their true motives.

Samus, you should be proud that you've helped make an environment where people feel safe enough to share their experiences.

I have been debating making this thread for months. I have been closely following the development of the game since it was announced last September. I am in a couple online research communities for the game and am a contributor to a global pokedex initiative.

The game was developed by a Google spin-off company named Niantic. This is Niantic's second major AR mobile title after Ingress. The game was released in the United States last Wednesday, a day after it released in Australia and New Zealand. It was supposed to be released in Europe and Asia shortly after the U.S. But was held up due to severe server issues. Niantic has been actively working on the game ever since the field testing (beta test) began in Japan in March. Even though the game is buggy at times and has some server issues it is a lot of fun. When Niantic cleans it up it will truly be a global phenomenon and it is projected to be the most played video game of all time.

I started playing on Wednesday evening when it was released and have spent a lot of time on it. I am at level 16 right now and have some pretty powerful Pokemon. Since I have been researching the game I have all of the mechanics worked out and would be happy to assist any new trainers if you have any questions about the game.

The green sparkles are moving grass. It means it's possible that there is a Pokemon there.

Tons. What would you like to know specifically?

That is correct. Periodically you will see rustling leaves in various places on the map. If you walk around that area for a little while there is the possibility of a Pokemon spawning there. Any Pokemon that spawns from the rustling leaves is random to an extent. You will not see that particular species appear in your nearby list. For instance, I happened upon a patch of rustling leaves on the second day that a Nidoking popped out of.

If you grew up in the 90's and were a Pokémon fan, this game is literally what you have dreamed of since you were 8. You get to go on your very own Pokémon journey in an attempt to catch them all and control real life Pokémon gyms.

How the hell is Pokemon even still a thing? Back when I was kid there were 151 Pokemon and now there are 729. How do kids even keep track of this shit?

(Though I hear Pokemon Go only has the original Pokemon).

Yeah I have heard of and seen people doing this.  My own take on it, take it at face value

 

Seeing grown "men" in their mid 20's trying to catch Pokemon is rather depressing to watch, not because they are crap and don't catch anything, more the fact that they are walking around like zombies glued to their phones, children in adult bodies.

January, IRON's Member of the Month is obvious. With our two top Military guys out for the Holidays, we had a monumental problem. IRON needed not only a leader to step up and lead our highly motivated Military, but one to also lead our sides coalition. We needed someone who the rest of the world respected and had the experience to plan and execute a winning battle strategy. While the opportunity to lead the coalition did not emerge, he took the job knowing that he may very well be the Master Military Coordinator of the Coalition. IRON's Military was in good hands. Also while the war wound down he took over the Awards Dept issuing some long over due awards. I present to you the protector of puppies, taker of Welsh virginity, the son of IRON, Bill N Ted.
