Thread: Any of you guys play pokemon?

I don't know the particulars of the game or whatever it is, but am I to understand that there are characters in particular locations that are captured on the phone?

If so, then I would assume that there already are powers that be who are manipulating, or are willing to be paid to manipulate, the specific locations of the characters.

Welcome to a new future for marketing.

I'm not into pokemon, never have been, and unlikely to change on that front so I think it's pretty safe to say it ain't for me. But what the hell. If it gets people up and moving around, it can't be all bad. Just keep your heads up guys! I don't want to read any in memoriam threads here of SPR members who have been squished by a bus, stumbled off a bridge, or wandered into a bushwhack whilst pursuing a virtual collection of 1s and 0s.

I just read an article explaining it today. I've got better ways to waste my time, but it reminds me of a book ........... Extraordinary Delusions and the Madness of Crowds ....

Or wonder into someone's yard & get eat'n by their dog.

Well, it would be cool to sit and watch. Reckon it is in another part of town from where I live!

All the pokeyfolks should be careful out there. More stories every day. Rednecks are shooting at them!

Why are people shooting at the pokeyfolks?

The article said they were sitting in a guy's driveway for a long time, poking at the pokey (as it were).

Naturally, he loaded-up and went forth.

Claimed that the Pokey's went and tried to run him down! Some quarter-panel and tire hits. No one got hurt, at least!

OK, this is getting weird...

I had a Poke'Womon for a Long time, a poke' here, a poke' there, nothing but an outstanding Poke' anywhere.

I'll play Poke' Womon any Ol' Time. Nothing like a Sweet Poke',,, Mon.

I don't get it. I would hope some of these neck beards would be looking for a job whilst out on the prowl for a FAKE video game character!!! I would like to think this will die a quick death.
