Maybe when Japan complains about the 3 feet tracker bug it'll actually get fixed.

_{That's all I want from the game (other than gen 3+4)}

@IceClimbers There is no reason that thing should weigh that much. That's just ridiculous and I'm going to forever pretend they accidentally added an extra 0.

Quite excited for this game! It's gonna be a blast! Although I wish they would stop releasing so many Pokemon...I can't help spoiling them for myself.

Also idk how easy it will be, but Hyper training is an absolutely fantastic idea! Finally I don't have to be depressed that my Chandelure has no IVs in special attack!

@rjejr Well that confirms this mystery for me as well! Yes I did edit in my comment, so it appears doing so does not send an e-mail!

@Megumi_Sagano @Alshain01 If you live anywhere near a cluster of like 4 or more Pokestops (like a city or park), all you need to do is take one trip there and your bag will fill up quickly.

It's definitely a problem that there are so little Pokestops in rural areas, but I was surprised at how fast I was able to fill up my bag with one trip into a nearby town.

@rjejr I can definitely see my interest waning fast, but I really like Pokemon gen(eration) 3 (although gen 4 has my favorites) so once that comes out I'm playing this game until I catch 'em all!

The thing this game really needs to keep going is something fun to do that actually involves player-player interaction. Right now you can't do anything to defend your gym other than make it buff. You have to just watch it being taken and then take it back...

Hoping the server down fixes the 3 step bug! I'd honestly rather have the servers down than deal with that.

Does it have to "officially" roll out in all countries, or how does that work? Like, does it have to officially come out in Switzerland and the Philippines, or will it just go global at some point?

Actually as far as I'm aware, if you hit the Pokemon inside the colored circle you get a bonus. The bonus gets larger as the circle gets smaller, but it's harder to hit inside the circle, too. A "Nice!" nets you 10 EXP, a "Great!" nets you 50 EXP, and an "Excellent!" nets you 100 EXP.

@PlywoodStick I'm on Android, and in fact, Google Maps has permission to view my contacts and Pokemon GO does not. What it has is the ability to view device accounts, which is probably your Google Account if you choose to log in with it (Google Maps has the same permission but can also delete or add accounts!). In fact, the Google Maps app has way more permissions required, but I see you use the browser version instead.

Funny thing is, many of the default Android apps require a mountain of permissions; just look at the default Clock app which I thought would require no permissions.

Also I think USB storage is the same as SD card storage.

Thanks for the article though; I usually skim the privacy policies since 90% is the same thing in every privacy policy. I wish there was a place I could go to get privacy policy summaries.

Pokemon Go is way more fun than I expected, but this is the game I'm waiting for!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It takes all of two seconds to notice the "The" comment, refresh the page, and see an entirely finished comment.

I'm upset I didn't buy stocks...I think I'm too late now.

Since everyone here keeps talking about SLIGEACH_EIRE, I would like to inform you of his strategy for getting to be a first-ish comment:

He types in a word, hits reply, thus ensuring his place in the comment section, and then edits the comment with the full response. I can't decide if it's a neat trick or an objectionable method.

Yeesh. And this is why I refrain from posting on Facebook.

Social media seems so lame.

There is nothing dangerous about Pokemon GO. There are a few dangerous things about being close to the road, not paying attention to what's around you, and being alone in a remote area.

These are not new problems, it's just that Pokemon GO is bringing those problems back to a head because the game is played outside rather than inside.

Ah the ghost's eyes are on the torso!

The question is not if these updates will roll out, but when...If it takes a whole year before the next major update, that would be very bad. I'm expecting every 2 months, although it will probably end up being 3 or 4. We'll see.

Of course the rest of the world is priority...the servers seem stable enough now, so I'm hoping it's soon.

A bit frustrating I don't have any stops or gyms in walk-able distance, but otherwise this game is way too fun.

Like actually; I keep telling myself this is way more fun than it should be!

But it does need more Pokemon, and trading. Two biggest weakness right now. Oh and maybe a gym/pokestop map.

The gameplay looks cool, but idk what's up with the character art...

I hope this surge of income will help them roll out server stability, new features, and new Pokemon faster!

Yeah the launch is pretty bad. But the game doesn't get real until there are 300+ kinds of Pokemon to catch, anyway.

@Don You can't unless it has personally identifiable information. If not, you can only delete your account. Both require you to send an e-mail directly to Niantic.

Everyone here talking about the design, but good gracious, I'm scared in my boots about this ability!

@RCMADIAX Available on Android Play Store as well.

@Kirk I see. I just watched the video again and I agree that AR section should be better. Do note however, that Image Processing has some of most difficult computer science problems in existence. It's part of the reason I say it will take a while for Nintendo to get mobile apps down. There is a whole new sub-set of problems with mobile that Nintendo is probably not used to.

@Kirk I honestly believe it will be at least 2 or 3 more years until Nintendo comes out with an actual good, quality phone app. Nintendo has this weird idea that a phone game should not be like their console releases, and on top of that phones are a completely different ball game; from experience, you really need to minimize visual update calls to the phone because one misstep can lag the phone a ton. A phone is decently powerful, but it's not optimized for gaming, and actually, this app follows android's visual guidelines pretty well.

In addition...do you expect Niantic to make high quality maps for everywhere in the world? I don't believe that's entirely realistic.

It may look cheap...but I'm not sure what you'd want instead? I will agree the gameplay is lacking (which doesn't matter to me for a phone app), but I don't understand what you expect from the visuals.

Can't wait to do this! My biggest gripe with the game is and will remain only 151 Pokemon, but we should get more in future updates. Otherwise that'd be such a shame.

I'd like to do this, but on the off chance Niantic blocks me, I'd be heartbroken.

You know I wasn't pleased at first, but give it several minutes and they're all starting to grow on me.

I will be worried Togedemaru doesn't evolve until I see it though. Like Dedenne is a useless Pokemon and I don't want this little guy to be in the same spot.

@Octane And that's why I'm upset. An evolution for that thing would be awesome.

If Togedemaru doesn't evolve...IT BETTER EVOLVE! Don't pull a Dedenne on us again Gamefreak!

I just saw this. It's a great idea, but the problem I've noticed with Mario Maker in general is the game is saturated with so many user levels that I have a difficult time finding the levels that I genuinely enjoy. We'll see if this service can address that issue.

I am actually working on a world myself, so I'm planning on at least trying it out.

Finally, the extra features, like the personal record, seem promising, but I'm not sure how they will be verified.

@abe_hikura Well dang, that is bad; no wonder so many are upset. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it.

And unfortunately data is always a hard thing when it comes to voting; I say that from experience. Like, where do you go to get data that isn't biased? Is that even possible? What do I do if a site claiming to be neutral only shares information about a hypothetical "green" party and not a "yellow" party? How will I know this "yellow" party ever even has news?

@WinterWarm Thanks as well!

Does somebody here want to tell me why British people thought it was a good thing? Cause everyone's making it sound like the end of the world...and then how could it have passed?

@TrueWiiMaster Yeah my logic is going the same way right now.

@Project_Dolphin I didn't mean SNES in general, just Yoshi's Island's graphics in particular.

And I do agree, Nintendo does go with cartoony art styles because their hardware is weaker; however, I prefer that art style over realism in a lot of cases, which is probably why I'm a Nintendo gamer in the first place. And it's also a great skill to have: Nintendo knows how to make astounding worlds without resorting to realism, and Nintendo doesn't have to pour millions of dollars into photo-realism just to have a hollow shell of gameplay leftover.

It's clear to me that you prefer graphical prowess when it comes to your video games, and that's all good. But, there are a lot of people out there who would rather have an innovative and exciting gameplay experience at 480p over a boring or broken game running at 4k resoultion, myself included. Like I don't care if it's 1600k, I'm not playing Knack.

@Project_Dolphin Whoa whoa whoa! Yoshi's Island's graphics are a stroke of genius. It's adorable, crisp, colorful, and most importantly, pleasant to look at. I'll take Yoshi's Island graphics over Dark Soul's 50 shades of grey any day. (Dark Souls is a great game, just talking about graphics here.)

Yoshi's Island is one of those few games I can go back to and say "wow this game hasn't aged a day." It's a masterpiece.

Bash on Nintendo 64 games all you want, but if you say Yoshi's Island graphics are "bad", you're just ignoring the elephant in the room.

Seems a little long for a commercial.

It's a bit too goofy, but at least it sets up the ending really well, which is my favorite part.

The best Kickstarter story is still Shovel Knight! At least as far as I'm aware.

I really hope Mario Party: Star Rush turns out ok. I've been missing Mario Party for quite a while.

Zelda is great of course, but I don't care for games not releasing the current year.

And then Pokemon is fun as usual, but I really hope they put in either some difficulty or some end game content that isn't just "Battle Location". I still think an endless dungeon would be the best thing. They always mess up something with PMD, but the main series has always (imo) been perfect for it.

This may sound strange but I'm upset at no Mario Maker announcements. The game needs like 2 out of these 3 additions: vertical levels, place-able water/lava, and some kind of world editor; then I'd be satisfied.

But I think Super Mario Maker has died down too much. The hype for the game is over and Nintendo is moving on. I just wanted one or two more updates, but alas.

At least we have key coins and keys; I wouldn't be playing the game still if it wasn't for that.

Not sure how the Guardian will fit in the box, lol.

Oh you can move the legs? Neat, maybe that's how it'll fit in the box.

@DarkKirby That would make sense because there's no way Dedenne would be in the top 100 without the anime. It's literally a non-evolving Pikachu clone!

His Mario Party idea sounds fantastic. Although I would like to see some new mini-games as well.

Send them all down into the abyss!!!

Seriously though that's just nuts. What's stopping all your games from getting exploits huh? Then what Nintendo?

The whole gold idea is just silly. When am I ever going to get 80+ gold points? Never, because I buy $60 games physically and when I buy digitally I buy things like VC releases which are less than $10.

I don't have a problem with the trailer, but then again I was never hyped up for this game to begin with.

Once I got asked the same question twice I was done with it.

Don't really care about spoiling Mario Maker costumes

@WireWare The case will probably be they're using Pokemon Essentials in RPG Maker XP, meaning the framework is already up and running. There's a lot of Pokemon Essential fan projects out there because the fact that it uses RPG Maker means it can only play on Windows, which apparently means Nintendo doesn't care as much about it; on top of that you start off with a running game engine, you just need to tweak things around.

I want this.

Don't want to drop $30 down on it.

This would make sense. I don't enjoy score runners at home, but at the arcade it would probably be really fun.

@rushiosan Oh man, Pokemon Shuffle was great, but I raqe quit after a while because the f2p model is so stupid! Like I considered spending money at one point, but then I realized it wouldn't do anything useful!

Wasn't there somebody who predicted it would be a tropical setting?

In any case I think I have to go with the owl.
