The Pokemon Company has announced Pokemon Go, a new game for iOS and Android smartphones slated for release in 2016, designed to bring the world of Pokemon to the real world.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
Pokémon GO fans are waking up on Wednesday morning a little more nervous. Niantic, the developers of the augmented reality game, has decided to sell the game
You can't play Pokemon Go in China, but I needed a digital souvenir.
It's going to be a huge hit in Japan for sure.
That looks epic! Can't wait! :D
Happy for the casuals, but I think I'll stick to the fully fleshed out hand-held versions, and save my phone battery for actual phone calls.XD
It's not VR Pokemon catching, but it's getting closer to that.
Won't be long. Within the next decade or two, certainly.
if its not the expected Pokemon game then I dont want it
PEDA's going to love this one. lol
