I like how this turned from talking about a game, to taking a shit on the younger generation. Thanks guys, it's totally not like we have better things to do

I wouldn't lump all young people together like that.

I don't mind it at all.

By the way, what counts as young here? I'm twenty, so, what are we talking about here? Big Grin

You.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Apparently Westboro Baptists are into Pokemon too...  Undecided 

Pokemon Go: Westboro Baptist Church fires wrath at pro-LGBTQ trainer who ‘claimed’ their church

Quote:One user noticed that the Westboro Baptist Church, based in Topeka, Kansas, was tagged as a “gym” – or a location where Pokémon trainers can claim as their own.

In this instance, the trainer called “Pinknose” claimed the church – notorious for its vicious protests against the LGBTQ community – for a pink “clefairy” named LoveisLove.

The church responded to the stunt via Twitter, employing images from Pokémon to spread its anti-LGBTQ message.

“We recruited Jigglypuff to deal with the sodomite loveislove Clefairy for us,” the WBC tweeted.

Can't they get sued for copyright related crap for that?

My wife just called, apparently Nebraska is being proactive. She's on her way to a dog event and the amber alert sign on the interstate says "DON'T POKEMON AND DRIVE".
