OK. Pokemon GO. WTF is it and why has the world gone krazy about it?
I always hated anything Pokemon related even when i was a kid because i just thought that all the stupid cute creatures were for autistic children and the cartoon sucked. The only cute things i like is irl girls and animals, and if its virtual it better be god damn badass and not cute.
So the new Pokemon game comes out and i immediate dismiss it as autist trash but then i notice that the whole world has gone mad for it ten times worse than for Minecraft when it came out so i fire up twitch to see what's its all about.
I spent 10 mins watching some degenerate hipster with giant earplugs and no skin visible after tattoos stream the game and all the guy was doing was taping his phone to throw the ball accurately in order to catch a Pokemon. If he misses he just tries again. And that's it. He then showed a huge inventory of Pokemons that he "evolved". Oh and apparently you are suppose to walk around town to designated coordinates to find these Pokemon that then appear to be in front of you irl via the phones camera?
So please tell me there is some large aspect of the game that i didn't see because it seems to me that the game comes down to walking around and taping your phone screen to throw a ball in a particular way in order to have a fucking display collection of disgusting creatures. I know mobile gamers are dumb-shits but this seems too much even for them.
Pls explain.

That sounds pretty autistic to me.

Why the fuck would i want to pet cute animals in a game when i have two dogs at home?
Games are for things you cant achieve in real life such as drive and carelessly crash supercars.
And also things you don't want to do, such as go to war and slaughter 10 000 people.

Who cares, it gets kids and sun deprived fat fucks out and walking. You don't like it so by the tone of your post no one else should, that attitude is fucked.

I'm just looking for some explanation to the craziness, because if i understood that game correctly (not claiming that i did) then the complexity and skill of the game is equivalent to playing fetch with your dog for 8 hours per day and collecting sticks the dog brings back.

There is no explanation. You probably won't get it since you didn't 'get' the original pokemon 'craze'. No worries though. Just hope it will get people to exercise more, until some idiot dies playing it and then the fad with die down a bit.

It is a casual game for casuals. That is all there is to it. It is not hard. It is not challenging. It is perfect for mobile users.

A-HA! So you're telling me......mobile gamers are casual scum!

Probably why Farmville was popular back in the day.
