>>384823123
>not throwing shit at 3dpds when you have the chance

They didn't properly anticipate the crowd size

Which is silly

It's like when Blizzard's servers shut down because of the blizzcon tickets going on sale that one time forever ago.

Either way the game isn't magically dead because of one bad convention/event.

It wasn't their fault though.

It was the Cell Networks not being able to cope.

People are taking out their anger on the wrong people.

Give me a quick rundown on the latest autism outburst.

>>384823015
What's happening here a chimpout?

Is this what the average Pokemon go player is like? I thought it was a fad that lasted for a month.

>>384823858
If they had any idea what they were doing, they would have contacted providers and let them know ahead of time that a massive phone-centric event would be taking place to try and request assistance. If that wasn't going to work, they shouldn't have held the event in the first place, because it's just a bad idea.

Someone mansplain all this to me.

>>384824647
>because it's just a bad idea
Why
>>384824632
We get it. You have a twitch account.

some guy just threw a drink at the ceo

>>384824804
>let's put several thousand people into one tiny area
>and have them all play a cell data phone game which relies on several networks to function
Ever been to any kind of convention? You know cell service becomes completely unusable in some areas because of congestion? It's that, but on a very compressed scale. Providers and sometimes even hardware just can't keep up.

>>384823267
>Being nearby 3dpd

>thats it we will never give you anything again. Pokemon Go is closed

>>384824962
Idk AX this year wasn't bad.
How does them not properly preparing for the event make the event a bad idea tho?

>>384825158
good
end it

>>384823015
It wasn't a live grenade

How are there still people playing this? I thought it shut down it servers 6 months ago

>>384825291
The intense power of normalfags allows them to play the same "game" every day. I don't know how they do it.

>>384824647
This so much. I think it's pretty pathetic how the crowd is acting, but the organizer's really should've anticipated that everyone would want to play the game and how that wouldn't be possible when the cell phone infrastructure gets slammed all at once.

>>384823015
these people don't understand what makes pokemon fun

>>384825170
Because AX is a large regular event that, by this point, providers can anticipate and prepare the area's cellular service accordingly.
Obviously because if people can't participate in the actual event in the game, they're going to be angry.

It has 16million players monthly. The reason you thought different is you were listening to people on /v/: the only place that thought this game was in trouble just because people here don't like it.

>>384825993

Why didn't he just call the whole event off and go home?

>>384823326
>clip not found
what did he mean by this?

>>384823015
Shallow gameplay with no real endgame or incentive to actually train your pokemon.

Literally all they needed to do was put trading, PVP, IV/EV's and the pokemon battle system in and it would still have been going strong.

>>384825748
What is it with Nintendo and scalpers

>>384826578
There's a lot of options they could and probably should have done.

>>384826586

So aside from not anticipating the crowd size properly, what made the event a bad idea?

I don't understand how people are still playing Pokemon Go.

At first it was a good excuse to take long walks and meet people. But a year and a half later? How?

>>384826943
there's this knockoff called 'gps monster scouter' that handles pokemon go better than pokemon go
it's a shame there's no pokestops or co-op though, but it focuses more on raising your pokemon than grinding them into powder to forcefeed the better ones

Pretty much this is the problem with all of society right now. No one accepts their own faults and shifts the blame to someone else. You saw it in full force during the election.

Shitty parenting. You wouldn't see shit like this in the 50s with kids who's parents grew up during the Depression and WW2 who know what a hard life actually was. Every kid these days grows up spoiled and their parents enable it.

>>384823015
Genwunners.

Since GO only had the first 151 at launch, of course those fuckers ate that shit up.
Same with the normalfags who only played Red/Blue and nothing else.
You think they know what's good when they consider the first gen the best?

But the truth is, GO was already flawed from the start. Imagine if instead of pokemon, it had shitty ripoff creatures or something. No one would give a shit about it since it's just a shitty game with not much depth.

This is a good step anon.

Now you just have to stop posting on 4chan and you'll start being an adult.

>>384827663
Because it dosent have 2 of those things you mentioned. You think after a year the add some form of peer-to-peer battle system or trading system. But nope. None of that. The pool is miles wide but its about ankle deep. Devs for some reason believe adding shitty events and such will fix the core of the game which is utter shit from what they showed in promotions.

Only if you give a fuck what society thinks.

The point is, saying stupid shit like:

only makes you look like a faggot who's still cares what other people think. Ironically, it's mostly immature fucks who need other people's approval to feel better about themselves.

What society are you apart of that looks down on video games? The average player age is almost 40 now. In another few years the majority of society will be "gamers" even if it's just shitty cell phone waste of times they play.

>>384823280
That's simply impossible.
They sold tickets and knew a name of every attendee, not to mention their count.
Niantic hosted bigger events than that in Ingress for 4 years now, they're supposed to have the experience.

You do realize Pokemon Kanto and Johto were like a thing practically back to back, if you were a genwunner you were pretty much carried over to gen 2 naturally. There's practically no age generation gap between the two. One came out in 1998 and the other came out in 2000.

Not releasing a full featured game and then never making it one

Pokemon GO could be the biggest evolution in the franchise and maybe even ging as a whole, that was what made it so exciting. Your "solution" is to go back to the same old, boring way it was done since the 90'. People don't want to sit on their ass and moving the character through the grass for random encounters. If you're content with totally-new-pokemon-not-reskin-promise #5 that's fine, but stop sperging when people don't want to eat the shit you enjoy.

Okay, which mainline pokemon game includes real world movement instead of in-game, MMO functionality like trading and battling my pokemons and is on a device that everyone has, greatly increasing the chance of meeting another player. I can pay.

That's just it. The faggots that play GO won't be interested in Sun and Moon or any modern pokemon games because all they care about is kanto pokemon. They probably don't even own a 3DS and only have GO because they already have a smartphone.

To try to bring those people back in, which is why it is pandering like you say.

>>384830454

sure thing!

It was a bad analogy, I accept that, but my point is that you, as a consumer, must always check what you are buying is what you really want

>>384832410
They didn't buy a product, though, they bought access to an event which failed to provide what was advertised.

>>384832001

this is what I meant, now lets try this with a concert

>publisher is a shit and you know it

what do you expect to happen?

>>384832685

>>384832789
See, it's not a warzone.

That's what i was saying to that man man.

>>384832730
That's, again, a really bad analogy, and I think you are aware of that.

That would still also put the management of the concert at fault, and would also be a violation of the law.

>>384832871
that doesnt stop the consumer to say no

pokemon go was down for a good 2 weeks when it came out because of massive traffic. they really didn't expect that to happen again in a concentrated convention like this?

fucking retards. im glad their app lost most of its userbase. fuck them. so fucking idiotic

>>384832935
Again, your bad analogy has nothing to do with the circumstances of this event.

It was a public space with enough room for people, there was not adequate infrastructure to provide the digital service the event was focused around.

That's not the consumer's fault, that is in no way the consumer's fault, and the fact that you keep producing nonsense or completely unrelated analogies to argue that it is should be clueing you in to the fact that you might be wrong.

I dont know mate, this analogy fits quite clear.

now again, I aint saying I'm just blaming the people who went there, both of them have to share the blame

>>384832935
The company chose to sell that amount of tickets, saying they would be able to accomodate that many people.

That's their fault. They literally set the attendance number themselves.

Were the consumers supposed to expect that the company lied, or were they supposed to have good faith that a company would make a real effort to provide what they advertised?

>>384826636
Doing that would pretty much destroy the sales of the main series, same reason an MMO hasn't been made, despite whatever bullshit it is they decide to feed fans on a given year.

>>384833507
>Were the consumers supposed to expect that the company lied, or were they supposed to have good faith that a company would make a real effort to provide what they advertised?

When you buy something, you expect to get what you want right? so you check before buying that thing, right?

>>384823771

>>384833487
>They have to share the blame

Okay, 1, your analogy describes an actual illegal situation.

2. The servers that provide the game access was where the problem was, and that's totally in Niantec's control.

3. Niantec chose the amount of attendees that would be allowed there, and had advance notice of what sort of load to expect for the event and did nothing to prepare for it.

That is again, no blame on the consumers, and totally at the fault of Niantec.

If you really wanted to use the band analogy, it would be more like
>Famous band playing at colloseum
>Manager sells 20,000 tickets
>sound system was set up inadequately to only reach a fraction of the attendees in the stadium.

I genuinely surprised there were that many people excited enough about this shit game to even attend a convention. I, like 95% of players, quit nearly a year ago when Niantic couldn't stop being incompetent shits. I know after a scant 8 month delay, they finally fixed the tracker and added raids (but not trading or localized battles, which is what people really want), but nobody I know plays the game anymore. During those first 3 months, there would be hundreds of people at my park, all very clearly playing PoGo. Now you're lucky to see 1 or 2 people.

>>384833660
>Products and events are the same thing!

You don't know what you are talking about.

>>384833893
They never actually fixed the tracker. They completely removed it and added a different thing so that you can never tell how close shit is to you ON PURPOSE instead of on accident now.

>>384827663

Why doesn't this play anything like a Pokemon game? Why the fucktarded leveling system with candy and stardust and shit. Why doesn't this game have regular battling? Why is trading still not in the game? They basically took all the groundwork of Ingress and called it a Pokemon game without anything that makes it a Pokemon game. Even other spinoffs get it right. They had a multi-million dollar franchise and did fucking nothing with it. Give me one thing that went right.

No, but millennials were never taught the first thing about manners either so it's like expecting a dog to know not to automatically shit in the house when you never bothered to train it. It's retarded, but not entirely at fault.

>>384829494
>mobilequeer talking about others eating shit

>>384834575
I mean, Niantic could even keep their shittier battle system and I'd accept it if they had function servers, PvP, and trading Pokemon. None of this is particularly hard, and only the servers would be expensive at all.
This would let the core games keep their uniqueness and let GO actually feel somewhat like a Pokemon game.

How about we use this analogy.

A company holds an event for a cellphone wifi based game.
Said company sells tickets therefore knows exactly how many the maximum amount of people at the event will be.
The company doesn't provide sufficient infrastructure to support their cellphone based game at the event that they sold tickets too, causing their customers to not be able to play the game they came to the event for.
The customer is mad.

In this analogy would you still say the customer is at fault for having a bad time at the event?

I think it's fun. It's helped me to be more social and gave me the inspiration to start jogging. I've lost 50 pounds since the game launched.
I play it more out of a habit now, but I still have fun and the gym scene is still active. Raids are a surprising amount of fun and gave me even more incentive to talk to people and socialize to form groups for raids.
I'll admit it's average (if not below average) by mobileshit standards, which are already very low, but I appreciate the game for the shallow grindfest that it is because it's helped me accomplish some goals.

servers went down and they couldn't fight the legendary raid
I think to make up for it anyone who went to the event gets like 50 bucks ingame money and a guaranteed legendary

>But the truth is, GO was already flawed from the start. Imagine if instead of pokemon, it had shitty ripoff creatures or something. No one would give a shit about it since it's just a shitty game with not much depth.
This can also be said about other pokemon games and super smash bros

no there really is nothing wrong with an adult playing a phone game, even on for kids. BUT

BUT
U
T

WHEN said adult is behaving like a child at a con for children, that is when its not okay. you need to keep your shame indoors, and playing Pokemon as an adult is definitely shameful.

I'm not denying that, I'm denying the stupid idea that an app should be restricted to children

You know literally nothing

>>384841225
Sorry, I meant to say Niantic

Pokemon GO is such a shit show. I don't know who's stupid idea this was but Jesus Christ. You cannot, CANNOT, simultaneously give away a good, fun F2P Pokemon game anyone can play anywhere on their phones, and still try to sell mainline handheld Pokemon games. And that's why Pokemon GO can't be worth a damn until they commit one way or another. Because the real W is turning Pokemon GO into the ever-evolving, F2P, definitive handheld Pokemon experience while proceeding to develop new and exciting Pokemon IP's for the Switch. Make handheld Pokemon a mobile game, and start a franchise of eighty-hour, fully 3D Pokemon RPGs with FFXV-tier graphics. Because it definitely seems like that's the direction they really wanna lean making S+M so story driven and cutscene-filled. Just commit and quit being wishy-washy cash grabfags.
