Come on then, I'll start the topic seeing as no one else has (and probably for good reason lol).

So, who's nostalgically playing it then? :cool:
 
Been playing for the past few weeks, so amazing to see people out just in groups playing it!

Level 6 going on 7 already, had a few regular runs to the end of my road in my socks to catch some rare Pokemon :tearsofjoy:
 
I just started yesterday and went to a local Pokestop on lunch with people from work. A car pulled up and a women got her phone out and collected her loot and drove off again haha! It's crazy how fast it's taken hold.
 
Only got it yesterday, looks like great fun. There's a few pokestops and gyms near my house so I'll probably play it regularly.
 
My main grievances with it are it takes a while to get used to as it lacks tutorials. It can get buggy and crash a lot, meaning a good ol' app closure. You also need a good data plan and wifi connection, where possible, to play it.

However, it's a very fun and enjoyable game as I've just come home from catching 6 Pokemon (including Abra, Ghastly, Hitmonlee and Shellder) in my local area. It cracks me up seeing other local players roaming around too and shouting at each other "there's a Drowzee right there! IN FRONT OF YOU!" with their phones out.

Have fun and stay safe wherever you're catching dem 'mons, folks!

p.s. You can get a Pikachu as your first.
 
Yeah I was gutted when I found out this Pikachu trick. :(

I read a large proportion of the people playing the game are late 20's early 30's according to the figures. Nostalgia is a great thing :D
 
Just run down the road in pjs to find a Ponyta.

Also witnessed Instinct taking over the only Gym around here from Mystic.
 
I volunteer at a museum, we've had people parking up and walking around after we close this week! The hotel next door has a gym in the front garden, so they've experienced a lot of people hanging around recently. Can't play it myself due to lack of suitable phone!
 
I was not into pokemon the first time around and I just find pokemon go, odd.
