However, the best bit is it's opened up a whole new social circle, where we meet up in town, have a few beers, frack, take the pi%% out of PM players and troll the smurfs as they walk around. I then get the train home slightly worse for wear.
PM doesn't seem to be a team game and I think it has less appeal than Ingress. Time will tell on player numbers.

Being born in 1990, when Pokemon was in its prime regarding the trading cards around 1999-2001, I was at the perfect age to enjoy Pokemon and spent a lot of my pocket money on the cards and trading the rare holo cards with friends. I even have every single holo card from the 1999 Base set, Fossil set and Jungle set (all near-mint/mint) framed in my downstairs bathroom. So yeah, I loved Pokemon but I honestly don't get the obsession with this game.
Yes I've got it and I've probably spent 20 minutes on it. Living on a farm sucks for the game as there is nothing anywhere near me and I guess my closest "pokestop" is 3 miles away in the nearest town!
For me this game is missing a fundamental section.... Multiplayer battles. For example, if you've got the app open and you walk past someone else with their app open, you should be able to send a challenge request. If the other person accepts then you should be able to wirelessly battle them. That would be awesome. I expect they'll eventually introduce something like that as apparently they're working on a trading part of the game.
But for now, I don't quite get it....

I was a L15 Smurf now L10 Frog, long story, met lots of people around the world and only felt weird a few times. I feel weird playing Pokemon most of the time, I think it'll be fun with a group and will go out with some family soon.
