Good, this game doesn't deserve anything other than to flop.

I hope it supports streaming

It's good you didn't put a trailer up because a trailer would be the entire game! yes... this game is like 5 minutes long.

"One of the things that we have to do better when we launch the NX—we have to do a better job communicating the positioning for the product. We have to do a better job helping people to understand its uniqueness and what that means for the game playing experience."

7 months away and we still know nothing.... Sorry Reggie, but you're already failing at it.

I love how NoA was garbage with Club Nintendo and it's still garbage now.

@Anti-Matter Fire Emblem... no, animal crossing... maybe.

@abbyhitter

You're talking about a game where a lizard (Chamelion) and a bat talk and work together through various things, even transforming to stop the evil bad guy and you're looking at how farts don't contain oxygen? lol

Nintendo really no longer cares.

I always want to thank the people who pay for in-app purchases because they give them the money for the game so I don't need to. lol

@KTT yeah, I downloaded the game and when the patch started, it froze up my internet a little

All fixed now

There, downloaded it and have it kept for if Nintendo tries to take it down, I can upload it elsewhere.

I made sure to dislike the video.

So, Nintendo says to take it does, does this mean it is my queue to upload it back up?

Maybe if Niantic was more focused on fixing their bugs and features, these sites would not be as much of a problem. Pokemon GO has become an app where I turn on occasionally when I am somewhere, see if anything is nearby and then put it away. like what sense is there wandering around looking for pokemon when the tracking system doesn't work.

It is really sad that Nintendo used Federation force as it's 30th anniversary game..... such a waste. Metroid fans did a better job with the anniversary than Nintendo did by making the Metroid II remake. It's fantastic.

I'll never buy this

This whole app is just turning into a mess for Niantic really. Even more so that they seem to "fix" their issues by removing content.

@Tsurii I have yet to walk into an EBGames and the employees don't know what Pokemon are... especially now.

@Tsurii
Is it really that hard to get up and burn 200 calories walking into a store?

I haven't logged on to My Nintendo in well over a month.

"Would Muk please come to the principal's office"

oh god I feel sorry for some of these kids.

Keeping a gym is basically impossible really, someone can just keep dwindling it down. Gyms in my town change every 30 minutes during the day and I've seen some have multiple Pokemon well over 1k CP

I'll never buy this, I don't want to support the way Paper Mario has gone.

Yeah, I bike 14-16km to work on week days and I travel approx. 15km/hr and that is going too fast for the thing to track it. I got about 2km tracked on a 15km ride for the day.

Edit

It is funny how people are on the topic of how "bad" cyclists are. lol

@HSuzumiyaVI
10mph is about 16km/hr

it's been so long since I watched The Simpsons

@Megumi_Sagano Been enjoying them for the last week and a half

@VanillaLake
Did I say that? No, I am just saying you should be more realistic when classifying "issues" because any app that uses as much as Pokemon Go would suffer the same battery drain.

@Jaredfrogman

Again, that's the risk of paying for advertisement. You could pay for an ad in the paper for everyone to them use it to start campfires instead of go to your store.

@C-Olimar

Saga*

fixed

@Jaredfrogman

They don't, the point is that they want people coming to their store. it is more likely for a person to go into a store if they actually to to its location. it is the same concept of advertising really. How do you know the people receiving the advertisements are buying your products or going to your store/restaurant? Simple, you see how your profits are affected based on doing the ad. It's the same concept here.

@VanillaLake

Yeah, it does. What's your point? You go use the GPS, Data, and Camera all at the same time with your screen on and tell me how that affects your battery. You'll be surprised with how much it puts a drain on it. If you want them to fix the "issue," then there is going to need to be a lot of stuff changed on this app where it doesn't use all those things.

Good to see Candy Crush dethroned. The stories of them trying to trademark the words "Candy," "Crush" and "Saga" made me never want to play their games. lol

ok really... if some rapist was going to target someone to lure them to the park, they won't need this app, they'll just go to the park. Same goes with someone who wants to rob someone at the bank. If they were going to do that, they'd go with or without the app. This is just people with paranoia spewing a bunch of BS over the new hottest thing on the mobile market.

@VanillaLake What battery issues? It uses the GPS, Data, Screen and Camera so if you expect your battery to last, it won't with any application that uses all of that.

Wanna know what else could be hijacked and used to harm children? Motor vehicles and that been proven.

Seriously, nothing new here, pretty much anything could be used to harm children.

too bad this isn't in NA, At least we have a good amount of anime on Netflix.

@Damo

Please fix the "North America" to "US" because it is not out in North America. The US is the only country where it is available on the continent. It is not available to the other 22 countries.

@Kirk

How could they have expected someone to find a dead body? Come on, same with walking into police stations. They had it right in the tips that once you're in range you can use the Pokestop and that you actually don't need to go to the location to get the stuff. They can't really control those things because you can't control where people go, walk to, hike, bike, whatever. As for the servers, the only real way to be prepared is to get a server that is ready for 3 billion people and really, that's a waste of money. I guess they could have been a bit more prepared but if you look at every large product that uses servers for large volumes of traffic, they always have trouble at launch. The only real issue is the servers and they are working on them. The other "issues" you outlined could only be fixed by not having the app.

whelp.... nothing.

But not Canada....... but good thing I can download the apk file. All the locations and such work so it's all good.

@Kirk It doesn't look overly that great but hey, it's the first of it's kind and we get to go and catch pokemon outside of a video game... well, kind of, more an interactive game with our own world. It is basically the closest we have had pokemon in our world so far.

Gotta love the people upset that they now have an option. Patch and not have a censored game or leave it alone and have a censored game. Seriously? If you want your game censor, then don't do anything but now people have an option. This doesn't affect you in anyway so quit crying about nothing happening to you.

Glad I didn't back it.

Sticker Star.... so a garbage game.

Cartridges are not bad, they are good.

@smashbrolink It is wrong because you don't understand what it means to be average. And it doesn't matter if you are grading a game vs school because you are STILL grading a game. Then we are comparing the grading of this game to the grading of other games. Plain and simple, just like if you scored below the average of your peer in school, the same applies if a game scored below average than it's peers (in this case, other games).

You are still trying to have that score pertain to a single object (in this case games) when there are many object that have the score When given a 5/10 or whatever, that is giving it a grade while an average is comparing it with how it did against everything else. It if performed worse or scored less than the average of everything else then it is below average and other games did what this game did not do. If you want to see a system where averages are not based on this then you don't want averages at all. But just remember, what ever system there is, there will always averages simply due to the fact that there is more than one game in the world.

Also, my logic is not broken because I understand what the term "average" means. And no, 5/10 does not mean average quality because the average game is not 5/10 when it comes to measuring quality. And yes, anything under 5, I would probably guess it garbage because there is more bad than good in the game. Anything under 7, I would consider below average because it is. The average game scores around 7/10. Even more so, I find it strange how you call something that has equal bad to the good mean it is an average game when it is not because the majority of games are not this. Learn what an average is.

The score is not by itself when talk about averages and being average does not mean you take the median of the grade scale either because that is 100% wrong when it comes to taking an average. So please, learn the difference between a score/grade and an average.

-Edit-

Maybe this will help you understand. Calculate the average of 70%, 80%, 85%, 60%, 55% and 90% of these scores. Then find out the average and then hopefully you'll see how it applies to video games.

@smashbrolink

If we go by this, than any point scale is useless really. Like look at school. Anything below 50% is a fail (or 60% depending on where you are) so does that make that whole half is useless? Of course not. Then when it comes to how well you did, well, 60% is you did pretty badly, 70% is you did ok, 80% is good, 90% is great. i remember when I was in school, I if I got around 70% I was around the class average (give or take) which is the same situation here. So tell me, why should game scores be any different? If a game got a 5/10 or 50%, why should we be calling it average or a decent game when there is a bunch of trash in there? When people give the game a rating, they are basically giving the game a grade and just because you got a grade of 5 or 6, it doesn't mean you still didn't do trashy. There are certain things that people award points to like controls, visuals, sound, etc. Just because it lacks in one thing doesn't mean you take away from the good parts. However, that also does not mean it is a reason to then call the game decent because if something gets a 5/10, it was crap for still half the game. Do you like getting served 50% garbage? As I kind of said before, if you went to a restaurant and they have you half your plate of good food and then they dug the other half out of the trash can, would you be happy? Would you say your plate is decent?

As for you saying a "6 is above average," that is total BS because that is not how averages work. You want to have games ranked based completely of itself and not take into consideration the rest of the games out there when looking at what is average or not. When people say a game is average, it is an average game in comparison to what else is on the market.

In the end, you need to learn what it means to get a score and what it means to be in the average. These are two completely different things and anyone using your logic to call a game "average" because it has a 5 or a 6 is blatantly wrong.

I think some people are forgetting how easy it is to distract Nintendo reps are those kinds of stations. When you have several hundred people around you all at once, having a few friends can easily distract them.

Here's how I interpret this:

"Thanks for the money, I used it mostly for other things and did the bare minimal for this game."

@smashbrolink Do you think a 10 point scale is stupid in school and such too? Do you understand what average means? Do you like having half or large portions of your game bad to then give it is 5 or a 6 and then say it is decent? Would you call a restaurant good if you got your burger platter and everything on it was good except a soggy bun? yes, you can give the meal a 5 out of 10 but would you still call it good or decent?

Even more so when an average is taking the entire pool of scores, adding them and then dividing them by the total, you'll often get more than 5 or 6, especially when it comes to products.

Another thing I find kind of pathetic is when people try to defend these scores of 5 or 6 saying that we should call them "decent" when it shows the game has many flaws, sometimes even big ones especially after the mess this game has been. Overall, it is just sad to be expected to just accept what people do with their products and blindly say "it's a decent game" when there are clearly flaws and it doesn't even meet up with the majority of games.

I am seeing what looks like people not understanding how averages work.

P.S - None of these are an average score.
