    Nice...you get to pick a team color now. Pick Team Instinct :) (yellow)

    Blue and Red are everywhere so when i take a gym over i like the feeling I spoiled the party

    As one who is not opposed to removing all warning labels and letting nature run its course, this isn't a big tragedy.

    It's good entertainment, seeing more of these stories every day.

    Now we can just sit back and wait for the lawsuits to roll in.

    I agree it's epic, but some sites make it where you're forced to turn it off on their site to play the video. Cbs.com is the only 1 off the top of my head.

    The real question here..how long until the South Park episode on pokemon go?

    I picked the same but I have a question. Do you rank up quicker taking over or joining? If you take over you can only add 1 but since theres little Instinct players do their gyms have any chance of lasting?

    You do get XP every time you beat a gym and you decrease prestige/level of the gym. Once you bring it to level 0 you probably will keep a pokemon there for a little while. Depending on where you are gyms change every 15 minutes or so here in nyc.

    In smaller cities probably lasts longer. Also 1 yellow player can take over gym filled with blue teams pokemon but like you said hanging onto it is a problem.

    Here is my plan...Like Walter White in Breaking Bad said...Its about sending a message. So im going to start dropping Magikarps lol

    P.s. once you are in a yellow gym with your pokemon go to Shop and claim your coins which then reseys for 21 hours once claimed

    It's rare, and I usually just go somewhere else for the video, but every now and then it's like alright fine I'll turn it off for this page for 10 minutes.

    there are a lot of sites that won't function with ad block turned on

    the major sites usually do

    a lot of the major sites are really obnoxious with videos, having autoplay on by default so if go to read an article, a stupid video starts playing. ESPN and sportsline are like this. I go to sportsline scoreboard, video playing. ESPN article, same.

    Catch a shit ton of pidgeys use a lucky egg and evolve them all at once then get rid of them. Thats the fastest way to level up. Pidgeys and eevees. Youll see much better pokemon after.

    https://www.theguardian.com/technol...-quits-job-to-become-full-time-pokemon-hunter

    New Zealander Tom Currie has become a full-time Pokémon hunter. Each morning he fills a flask with coffee, packs a rain jacket and cut lunch in his backpack and heads into the wilderness to hunt Pokémon – come rain, hail, or snow.


    The 24-year-old Kiwi quit his job in Auckland last week to embark on a two month tour of New Zealand, with the aim of capturing all of the Pokémon released on smartphone game Pokémon Go last week.

    I'd imagine once they commercialize this it's going to die out. There's an estimated 65+ million US users on the app that generates $1.6 million/day. One would think that's plenty of revenue, but these app creators get greedy and inevitably need to upgrade their servers so they'll let McDonald's and other such locations start paying to be sponsored stops and find some way to ruin the game with ads.

    Gameboy Pokémon > any of this shit.

    Couldn't advertising be just putting more desirable Pokemon at stores?
