Yeah they intend to have the full set of mons availiable eventually.

Everyone's complaining they can't use GO in their car.  THAT'S THE POINT!  Get out there and walk.  Exercise for once!  It's not supposed to encourage you to sit around at home, it's supposed to encourage you to get towards local landmarks and things.  Get some walking, get some socializing, see some local attractions you might have never noticed, catch a crabby and be excited about it.

It's called Pokemon Go, it's not called Pokemon Sit At Home...

God didn't give us the V6 engine to use these worthless legs.

Walking is for the poor, plebian, and obscene.

This sounds like it'd be much more usable if there was actually anything close enough to walk to that counted as a landmark of any description without going over a major road here. Houses and a reservoir probably don't count, and thats about it for walkable-to things.

Yeah, I actually feel really uneasy about people playing the game with a car, that's just such a waste of everything. I do wish the game was easier to play on a bike. It tends to lose GPS tracking and other weird crap. And it would require a phone stand for the bike to make sense, but walking is sloooow. And canonically I totally should be able to bike while I catch Pokemon.

Also, the servers are just being obliterated. Though can't really complain as I'm part of the problem by playing from a country where the game isn't officially released in, but there was so much hype for the game already so it's surprising they didn't expect this to happen.

You make a convincing argument.  I rescind my criticism.

So is this game going to be worth playing if you live out in the woods in the middle of nowhere? I've read a little about it and it sounds like you need to be around somewhere that has pokestops(?) and gyms?

From my limited use of it, it seems you fare a lot better near a place that has lots of things (malls, schools, libraries, etc.).

I've also noticed that pokemon tend to spawn near hiking trails, walking paths, and the sides of roads.

Apparently the type of pokemon you get also relies on what you're near such as water.

Like I mentioned before, the closest gym to me was an elementary school. I didn't see any pokestops or any other such thing. I live in the suburbs in Calgary, Canada.

I really hope this will be available for the 3DS at some point in some form. I don't have a phone that supports this...

...but my mom does.

Doesn't it need a GPS to function?

By the time you get a smartphone your mom will be gym leader.

No longer is there a place where Pokémon ends and real life begins. Soon, the world will revolve around Pokémon. It will start small. Children will argue over whether or not their Ratatta is in the top percentage. Parents will allow their children free reign to travel the towns and countryside. But it will escalate. Criminals will think themselves feared due to their level 11 Zubats. One's social standing will be determined not by their birth or wealth, but how many Gym Badges they have. One day, wars will be fought not with firearms, but with Charizards and Blastoise.

This is the new world. It was not obvious until now, but this was Satoshi Tajiri's plan all along: By integrating Pokémon into real life, he will one day end all fatal conflict; to make people value each other by having their pets beat each other unconscious, to make international criminal organizations weak enough to be brought to their knees by prepubescent children. As we speak, he holds his Pokémon GO design notes and mutters about his keikaku.

Welcome to the world of POKéMON!

I for one welcome our newly swole weeabo overlords.
