    Has to set a record for the largest snipe hunt...It will be forgotten in a couple weeks as the impressionable jump on the next bandwagon.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

    back in the day taking a couple treats from the Grateful Dead shows, snipe hunts were and endless journey for at least 12 hours ;)

    But what you do for a living far exceeds most of us here.

    I heard on the news yesterday that someone was shot and later died while trying to enter a house (through a window) where there was a "rare" Pokemon. Idiot.

    Saw a kid with an $800 phone wandering up and down the aisles at WalMart yesterday getting in the way of WalMart shoppers. He didn't appear to be shopping. I thought a purpose of the game was to get kids outdoors and exercising.

    Isn't it funny that some consider exercise to be anything other than sitting on their rump.

    Yes, but as part of the way they are monetizing the game, vendors will be able to pay them to have Pokemon generate near/inside their facilities...

    So instead of in game ad's, you will be in the actual store lol...

    VERY SMART move on their part I must admit.

    Well one thing is certain: this made "Pokemon Great Again!" lol

    My daughter and her friends are all over this. Me, should have bought stock in Nintendo as soon as it came out. That's where we went WRONG Joey. It's NOT about coming up with these ideas, it's knowing when to buy, buy, buy! lol

    Considering HOW many kids grew up with Pokemon it's really no different from the Star Wars phenomenon now, isn't it? Or, I dare say, our two main candidates for President kinda look like creatures from the Pokemon universe, no? Adults also flock to play mindless games they think are meaningful when they are ALL rigged.

    I almost hit a couple kids on skateboards that blew through a red crosswalk. Can you imagine the guilt a driver is going to have to live with for the rest of their lives if they hit one of thes knuckleheads?

    Well, if parents wouldn't buy these kids these fancy phones it would be a "little" less of a problem. Make the little buggers work and pay for their own!! My kids were over 16 before they had any type of a cell phone and, yes, they paid for it themselves.

    Funny how most of us on here never grew up with cell phones, guess we turned out alright...

    As a side note I think it's utterly stupid...

    When I was 19 I got my first cell phone. A Motorola StarTAC flip phone. Oh yeah

    We ran around looking for bars, instead of Pokemon, bars of signal that is.

    It's my understanding that the winner of a Tiddlywink tournament is given a real picture of a real life ... uhm ..... well ..... "winkie", something that most of these players have never seen before.
