Sargara Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hows this work by the way, I thought Pokemon was a Nintendo trademark yet the company running/milking the franchise appears to be independent? I bet Nintendo are kicking themselves now for insisting on only releasing their IP's on their own hardware, theres clearly a demand for it on other platforms (mobiles etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 i think Nintendo are the parent company to 'the Pokemon company' still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Either way shares have gone up over by 50 percent for Nintendo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joedeejay Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Got back from walking the dog, could notice people who were playing it. Like zombies Saw this linked on Facebook, definitely seems about right haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I don't see the big issue, first time in many years I've gone out for an actual walk with friends Better than sitting in a pub worrying about some drunk assholes near my car for the next 3 hours! It's reached a stage where it's weird seeing people walking around at night without Pokemon Go!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeW Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I agree, walking around, meeting new people and jumping straight into a conversation (never done that with a stranger in my life!) and getting so much exercise, AND its free? I really dont see what the issue people have is? Take our local pub, I used to go when I was a teenager, haven't been there for years, went in the other day - the same pi**ed blokes sitting at the bar still.. and I'm sure they have an issue with Pokemon Go.. I think its like others have said, people are into different things, but taking the mick of others playing is pretty lame, I'm sure those people have 'hobbies' etc that others would find boring and a waste of time - e.g. football. And besides, I have a CP1200 Vaporeon now sooooo... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
