Quoted: Quoted: I'm out in the garage puttering around with various small projects. I've had 2 of these pale, bloated pokegon seekers trying to get it. Turned one of them away. One just started walking towards my gate without even asking. I asked him what he was doing. He said he'd just be a minute, he was going to pick up a gabbagool or something. I told him to get the fuck out of my yard. He told me it's not even in my yard, it's in the woods in the creek behind it. I told him I own that creek and those woods. He looked mad, but he saw the Harbor Freight cordless drill in my hand and thought better of it. Wise move. Beware the man with a chinese power tool in his hand, because he knows how to use it. Then, like 20 minutes later, another bloboid shows up. He's standing in the street looking between his phone and me, unsure what to do. I wait a few minutes. He's sizing me up, and doesn't like what he sees, I can tell. I'm using a Craftsman circular saw. Yes, it's corded, but it's on a 100 foot cord. I can hit him before he hits the gate and before the spool runs out. So I tell him to get get the fucking thing so people will stop bothering me, but I'm going to escort him. He goes and gets the thing and seems happy and leaves. So, are they going to put another of the things there, or am I done with this shit now? Funniest thing that I've read today!!! +1 |

A guy out here in Ca just got stabbed playing that game in some park in Orange County,Ca. People all over are getting fucked up by this game. Very dangerous. They need to pull the app and arrest the motherfucker who designed it.

Does this game need a constant active data connection, or can it work in a particular area on GPS alone? Sylvan Pass in Yellowstone National Park is just up the road from me. The National Park Service uses an M101 howitzer for avalanche control, and sometimes the shells don't detonate. There are signs all along the slope up there telling people to stay the hell off the slopes due to UXO. I don't think there's any cell coverage until you get a bit farther down toward Yellowstone Lake, but how hilarious would it be if some hapless neckbeard went trudging up that slope, ecstatic about some rare find, and came flying back down as a misty flock of limbs?

If the designers of the app didn't take private property into account and basically advocate trespassing, they are liable for the potential deaths of shit-bag looking users getting shot for trespassing at 3 am. As father of 2 little girls, I see someone in the backyard that tripped my IR raccoon trap. I show up armed and some Meghan's law shit bag is in the cross hairs.

I thought the whole thing was kind of funny until now. If the game is randomly placing them on private property then my opinion just changed. I think I've met you, every time I go into a gun store |

Earlier this evening, I had a guy standing on the sidewalk in front of my house. He had his phone out, looked like he was taking pictures of my house. At first, I thought he was casing my house, or maybe my neighbor. But when I went out to confront him, I started putting it together. He's 300 lbs, glasses thicker then an acid Becker bottom, sponge Bob yellow shirt, 2 sizes to big. Lime green shorts that draped to the middle of his shin. Light Gray crocs on with no socks, cheeto stained fingers, and skin paler than Count Dracula. I said,"you get it?" He smiled and said, "yup!" He then got in his, what used to be white, late 90's Toyota Turcel, with more bungee on it then a Griswold cross country road trip station wagon, and drove off. Damn Pokémon! View Quote At least the game is getting them some exercise ! |

Hell my parents have an 8 foot fence and a good six foot retaining wall below it for their backyard and some kid got over that fence and started knocking on the windows. Scared my mom like nothing else and my stepdad actually got out the 12g. Was around 11pm-midnight. Hell I would have shot first. They called the cops and they found him on the ground with a broken leg for jumping the 14 feet down hiding behind a dumpster. Said he was on some kind of drugs. Even more reason to shoot first.

My neighbors son and grandson were looking for those things all weekend. The grandson has MD, so it got pretty dusty watching them have a good time looking for them.

South side is 6 ft because it's pretty flat. North side is 8ft because it's sloped. A 6ft fence on that side wouldn't provide much privacy. |

Someone will be killed because of this game. I'm telling you now. I bet there are already a few dozen lawsuits on there desk over the "permissions" and login info. Give it a week and this game will be forced to be pulled

Some folks have been lured to an area only to be assaulted and robbed. On the news this AM they reported the founder of the game is now offering an opt out for property owners. It makes no guarantees that your property will not be repopulated in the future though. |

I already have enough trouble keeping neighborhood people (unfortunately not just kids) who are trying to access my creek off of my property. I hope one of these damn pokegon things doesn't spawn down there.

Woke up today at 10am after staying up late last night and some one snagged 2 pokie things around my house some time this morning.
The one on my house i snagged just to see why this game is so important. I do not get it at all. |

It really doesn't work that way. Spawns are generated around players. Additionally there are points of interest, almost exclusively monuments, churches, and public buildings. These points of interest were all populated by Ingress players, so unless you had even nerdier AR gamers snooping around before, you don't have one of them. Whatever popped up in your yard popped up as a result of being seeded by nearby players- not a function of it being your property (that said, it can generate something on your property- but it doesnt do it because it is your property, just because there was a player nearby).There is also a fairly generous distance you can reach a character from. I caught a snorlaxx while taking a shit today. Generally speaking stuff won't normally pop up very far from a road unless it's a park from what I have seen. My house is far off the road and I cannot get spawns at my location without a special item. View Quote I have been hearing people say that they are popping up in the local cemetaries, which I think is pretty uncool, people waltzing in and trampling on people's graves and all. I expect some fool will be tripping on a headstone and bashing his head in, and/or suing for injuries. |

Are you sure you're not the pokemon yourself, and don't realize it? Kind of like Bladerunner.
Maybe you're a Primeape pig monkey pokemon. Has anyone thrown red and white balls at you? |
