With the slow beta rollouts and previews of the simplistic gameplay, how is the Jungle community feeling about the game that was supposed to bring Pokémon into the real world? Do you still look forward to it or has it just become a ‘meh’ on your radar?
Been thinking about this lately and curious as to where everyone is at. I’d be more than happy to see it succeed and be a really kickass game. Just one more excuse to get out my HYPE HORN.
Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend 🙂

Being hyped for Pokemon Go is so 2015!
I’ve never been all that hyped for GO tbh, mostly because Ingress (the other Niantic game) was very disappointing to me.
Nah…not really excited. Just give me Sun and Moon
Nobody gives a sh*t
I think hyped isn’t quite the word i would use. I am still very much looking forward to trying it out and seeing what it’s like for myself, but hype is a bit too strong…..and to a degree different from what I’d say. I think a better term would be intrigued? I can’t say I’m all that excited per say about it the way I’d be excited about Sun and Moon, but I am very interested in the capabilities of the app. It’s very promising and if they can refine it to a certain degree I think it could be a fun little thing. People keep putting it down because it’s not what they imagined, but the truth is that things are rarely as great and grand as our imaginations make them out to be. The app itself could be great once it’s complete. I just hope that people’s personal imaginations don’t overshadow it’s potential. Either way I look forward to giving it a try for myself so I can make a more informed opinion on the matter.
Besides what’s the damn chance me finding a Rhyhorn or Sandshrew in a sea faring town of Long Island
I want a pet Sandshrew

Srsly, I lost my hopes on this game. Ponemon prefer to revail it without knowing if the game will be done by the tome they set. It is kinda dissapointed that they gave us a super trailer and then the game is even worse than thst, and yeah I know trsilers are never the same as the game. Aldo, they said that the game will be coming out at the beginning of this year… We are in the middle… Sorry but Pokemon made me lose my hopes and emotions on this game.
Not really. That battle system kinda killed it for me.
Meh
I think they had a really bad marketing plan for this “game.” The announcement trailer had a lot of hyper around it, making the game look like this awesome immersive Pokémon experience. I never expected the game to be like the trailer shows (because that would be a little ridiculous), but I did expect more than what we’re getting. Based off the beta, the game looks really boring and hardly like a game at all. I say they had a bad marketing plan because they first announced the game back in September. We’re very quickly creeping up on a year of its announcement with no release yet, and hardly any information to go off of. The hype in general has died down, at least for the avid Pokémon fans. The hype has now shifted to Sun and Moon for them. I think the game will still do well though with nostalgia players.
I was never hyped for the game. The concept was just.. not that promising to begin with imo
Nope not at all. At first i was excited but it just died down. The game looks boring. And they barely advertised it except for one trailer. But what im really excited for is PJT16…
Well guess what
Torchic butt?
I was sceptical of the game from the start seeing as how it is a mobile game. I didn’t have high hopes for it even when they announced gyms and all that. The gameplay looks awful not to mention the integration of Google maps is the worst part for me.
Don’t care at all. Just give me SM and I’ll be fine.
Well, I beat Pokemon Red!
Blastoise – Jet
Ninetales – Penny
Jolteon – Tera
Marowak – Bonely
Vileplume – Danny
Articuno – Everest
This games has one tough elite 4. The best moment was when Bonely had just 4 hp left but managed to take down a paralyzed Alakazam with 3 earthquakes. I ended the battle against blue with only Everest and Danny. Everest fired off one final Blizzard and took down Venosaur. So awesome. It was so cool playing through Red for the first time in years
Nice. Your team has good coverage. I stupidly forgot to buy revives when I challenged them (my pokemon were lvls 52 & 53) and so I only had 3 in my bag. I had to take on Blue with only 5 of my team…sorry, Butterfree. You didn’t make the revive cut
My pokemon were all 10 levels lower than they should’ve been so I really had to rely on items between battles
I didn’t feel like grinding so I went in under-leveled too 😛
Yeah I beat the Yellow Version (3DS Version) not long ago myself. 😀
Pikachu- Atem
Mew- Tikanni (Yes its legit.)
Charizard- Toriel (Yes its an Undertale reference. 🙂 )
Venusaur- Ichigo
Blastoise- Tsunami
Articuno- Chinook/ Pidgiot- Hawkeye (Had him/her before Chinook and kind of switch back and fourth.)
And I agree it is rally tough, but it was funny, it used to give me so much trouble when I was younger, so I did some level grinding until all of my team was in there early 50’s. LOL It seems that was good enough to totally crush them and my rival. 😀
Any Smash players? I heard Bayonetta got nerfed pretty badly. I mean she was broken as hell but she got nerfed haaaard like daaamn
Well a whole patch was made alone for just bayonetta nerfs, so yea she was pretty nerved. Oh well I don’t main her nor did I really have a problem with her. I want low tier character buffs rather than high tier nerfs
Welp, on the topic of Pokemon Go does anyone know when U.S beta test starts?
But I’m not as hyped as I was before the info was given or “leaked.” Who knows, it might be the most amazing spinoff game ever! We’ll just have to see.
But it doesn’t feel like this is a true Pokemon game. It feels like a forced marketing strategy for Pokemon (it is). But let’s see.
Well out of boredom I nearly finished EV Training and leveling a whopping 7 Pokemon
Which ones?
Charizard, Alakazam (Shiny), Greninja (Shiny), Aegislash, Flygon, Slurpuff, Aggron
Not ground types….
Flygon
Skipped over that one, it would seem.
This is a Special Flygon
SLURPUFF?!
Look I mass breed Unburden Swirlix and I kept a decent one just to have
I still hate Fairy Types,
I was interested in Pokemon Go when it was first announced but since Sun and Moon have been announced I honestly could care less about Go
Nope. Lets focus on sun and moon. Thank u
10 more boring days until info…which’ll probably be Solgaleo and Lunalaa’s names and if we’re lucky their type
And if we’re really really really lucky a welcome to the Alola Region trailer
I dearly hope for a “welcome to alola” trailer and some more info about the characteres we’ve seen last time 🙂
You feeling lucky punk?
Nupe
So I ordered the Vulpix coffee mug from the Pokemon Center website, it’s so cute I can’t wait to get it and use it every morning.
And the moment you fill it up it slips out of your hands and shatters
I hope you get a disease and your dick falls off
Right back at’cha
Damn yall love strong
You two should have your own sitcom
It’s extremely one sided
Agreed, I’m the only one with an interesting personality.
So a hot headed, belligerent lunatic with a affinity for fantasy and warfare wouldn’t make an interesting personality
No
Least I have passion you fey transparent stereotype
I didn’t even know that could happen, seriously, I haven’t even cursed Donald Trump like that holy mother of salt
I have it! I got it a few weeks ago and it’s even cuter in person!! And referring to earthen’s comment… It’s built like a rock Pokemon. Sturdy (seriously though, it’s well made).
Makes it compete with the Tankard O’ Terror?

Its my birthday on Saturday and I bought 300euro (350$) of booze haha. Time to get everyone wasted next weekend 😀 😛
Why would you waste so much money on alcohol??
To drink away his sorrows
I hope you at least spent that much money on GOOD alcohol…..none of that cheap stuff……lol
Damn Irishmen
Well I’m bored, if you could have your own type, ability and like 10-15 attacks what would it be

Rage
Headbutt
Rollout
Bulldoze
Arm Thrust
Take Down
Dig
Grudge
Spite
Body Slam
Belly Drum
Retaliate

I’d be pure Fairy with Geomancy, Moonblast, Ice Beam and Protect.

No legendary signiture attacks
I’ll just have to learn Iron head or Metal Burst
I’ll be part Steel then.
Well, you’ve just gained a Ground weakness.
Not with Levitate 🙂
And my Fighting attacks would be neutral now
Fairy/Normal
Unaware
Swagger (Lol I wish)

Dark/Ice
Magic Bounce/Bad Dreams
Dark Pulse

Dark Void
Avalanche
Blizzard
Shadow Ball
Shadow Claw
Beat Up
Hone Claws
Embargo
Sheer Cold
Icicle Crash
Glaciate
Ice Burn
Freeze Shock
Seriously why is everyone loading up on legendary attacks
Cause they are cool!
Plus, maybe I’m a legendary Pokemon
No you ain’t
Water/Fighting
Regenerator/Telepathy/Swift Swim
Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Secret Sword, Surf, Waterfall, Dive, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Tailwind, Calm Mind, Rain Dance, Barrier, Telekinesis, Psycho Shift, Thunder Wave, Teleport
Everyone seems to be only thinking about moves to be the strongest in a fight, but I’ve also got moving around in mind.
Basically I chose some moderately powerful special attacks, some HM’s to move around the sea, and then things that help me do tasks in real life like Telekinesis, Tailwind and Teleport.
I decided on Thunder Wave and Icy Wind to slow down those annoying hobos, perfume saleswomen and people asking for donations–to stop them from chasing me. And Tailwind to get to my destination faster and also get away from these fools.
Rain Dance because I’ve always been fond of rain and I’d want it to drizzle anytime I want.
Psycho Shift so if I feel sick or depressed, I’ll just move it to a hapless victim.
Well “shockingly” I’m straight out offensive with all attacks that either involve me throwing my body, fists and emotions at the opponent and I do hold Grudges and Spite into the mix, honestly I hold grudges and I sometimes want to burn the world
But I wish I could include my signature attack
Ragnarock Ground 150: Pushed to its very limits, the user unleashes a cataclysmic eruption, this attack also deals Fire
That is cool. There’s a math nitpick though, if you have 1 HP (say, due to Sturdy or Focus Sash) you can’t use that new attack, because it’s less than 1% HP. 😉
Well it’s not just you, everyone else seems to be focusing on combat as well.
Dragon/Poison
Magic Guard, Regenerator, Adaptability
Dragon Pulse
Draco Meteor
Sludge Wave
Toxic
Gunk Shot
Confuse Ray
Scald
Hydro Pump
Hurricane
Calm Mind
Light Screen
Dazzling Gleam
Dark Pulse
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
Steel/Dark
Ability: Adaptability
Beat Up
Metal Sound
Thundershock
Taunt
Mirror Shot
Eerie Impulse
Night Daze
Charge Beam
Nasty Plot
Dark Pulse
Flash Cannon
Automize
Hyper Beam
Zap Cannon
The idea would be an evil robot, hence why it also dabbles in electric type attacks. Ideally, GF would create more special attacking dark and steel moves considering the options are so limited. Stat spread would be
Hp: 80
At: 50
Def: 100
Sp. Attack: 125
Sp. Def: 100
Speed: 90
Total: 545
I was thinking about being a mixed attacker since robots tend to have both laser type attacks and can be quite physical and aggressive, but I thought if I myself were a pokemon I’d be a sp. attacker so I based it around that.
I would instantly KO you
That’s okay, I can’t be strong to every type. I could change my ability to levitate though, although you are a fighting type.
If it’s available in my country then YESSSSSS I AM STILL HYPED
