A Pokemon MMO? Color me intrigued.
Two thoughts:
1. They have 'only' 6 Generations to share in the game. If they make this game happen all over the world, the new regions won't have new Pokemon.
2. This'll make it harder to explain why Pokemon aren't for real
This almost sounds like Pokemon Dream Radar to me...is it possible that this could be a more "advanced" version? Presuming this app allows you to catch Pokemon anywhere in the real world, I'm curious to see if they'll be transferable to any of the 6th generation games?

Wouldn't it be awesome if the game really were the way the commercial shows it to be?

I'm all for this. Yes it won't be like the
Commercial, and yet I wish it would
I was wondering when we'd finally see the fruits of Nintendo's new mobile partnership.
It does look interesting, but I couldn't help but notice that it was only the original 151. That could be to attract older fans, which there were plenty of in that trailer, and going by what Nintendo said about their new mobile strategy back when it was announced, it looks like they're trying to lure said older fans back into the series.
Anyway, enough of the business side of things, it looks really cool! This is the kind of thing I used to dream about when I was younger. A conversation that came up with the neighborhood kids sometimes was that if pokemon were real, what kinds would we be able to catch in our area. Looks like I'll finally get to find out!

I think that despite the enormous appeal of a real world Pokemon game such as this... guarantee you it's going to be Freemium, overpriced, and lose its appeal in like a month because nobody's going to want to drop cash for Poke Balls.
that being said I definitely will be trying this out!!

You Are Awesome.
I love how you can carry a wristband that looks like an actual Pokeball.
I think the only way for this game to fail is if Nintendo screws this up. If they start charging for Freemium stuff (like pokéballs) then you're going to lose a lot of people who play. People will definitely pay for this game, they probably would pay a decent amount for it, but if you start charging for add ons like other companies (I'm looking at you EA) then like Magmar said you'll lose people.
It does have all the makings of a great game though. Walking around anywhere in the world, when all of a sudden your phone (or wrist doodad) let's you know when a pokémon is around, you catch it, train it and can eventually battle it. Heck they even said local gyms are a possibility. It really sounds like it has all the potential to be as close to real life pokémon as you can get w/o the actual monsters.

It's funny. At first I thought Nintendo would never do such a thing. "Not Nintendo", I thought, "they would never rip off their customers with microtransactions."
Then I played Pokemon Picross. Now I'm afraid. I'm very afraid.

GAIZ, IT'S FINALLY HERE! POKEMON GO IS A GO! I REPEAT, POKEMON GO IS A GO!
Yeah it's here, go out catch the Pokemon and battle them, as long as the server isn't down.

Is this the only Pokemon Go discussion on TPM?
I downloaded it yesterday but haven't gotten a chance to really play it yet because work + server downtime. I have played from home, at work, and while in the car (PASSENGER) and have 13 different Pokemon so far. I look forward to exploring my neighborhood this weekend searching for Pokestops. Very close to level 5 but not quite there yet.
I got this last night and my house is a hotbed for pokemon!! They have infested my whole house and I was able to catch 20 unique pokemon, and 39 altogether from just my house. I'm totally out of pokeballs now though
Tomorrow I'll explore gyms and pokecentres, I'm level 5 on the verge of level 6

My wife, dad, and I played Ingress, the game the developers made before GO. It's awesome having a group of people to compare to in real time, and we have a working knowledge of where the Pokéstops and Gyms should be. It eats battery and isn't necessarily kind to data plans, but it's so cool to see a Pidgey on the ground and throw a freakin' Pokéball at it!
I got Pokemon Go on Thursday but didn't really get a chance to play until today. It's pretty cool. There are loads of pokestops and even gyms in my immediate surroundings which I didn't expect living where I live. I am currently a Level 3 trainer with 6 pokemon and an egg. I can see how this game would be addictive.

I also have it. For some reason the game does not pinpoint my phone direction (so when I find a Pokemon, I have to turn off the camera to see it and catch it, but is not so bad). I'll probably go on an expedition today after I drop my wife at work and see how it goes.

I'm considering getting a smartphone. What kind of smartphone supports this? Samsung or Sony?
I really consider getting the game now. A shame the released was postponed for Europe!

Finally got going with this. My brother and I just got done driving around stopping at various pokestops. Every single church we passed was one, but also post offices, as well as historic sites and other landmarks. A few examples of the ones we found: some historic buildings in town, a statue and a plaque at the fire station, a fishing pier in my neighborhood, and for some reason, a random mural of a dinosaur near an abandoned grocery store. So yeah, those are the kinds of places you can find them at. Also, they can be used every five minutes, so even if you only have one near you you can still get plenty of stuff from it.
I also caught some pokemon today, including a Dratini while we were driving through town. Apparently it's rare. My brothers are jealous.

Hope you get well soon Gavin. Anyway, I went for a small walk that day. Found 3 poke stops (2 churches and a wagon wheel XD) and about 8 pokemon (half of them of different species). I want to go on a bigger one now.
On a side note: since my phone is not so new, it lacks something called a "gyroscope". It is the reason as to why I cannot use my cam to detect pokemon. Still, I can turn it ofd and catch them with the fictional background.
PS: threw a poke ball at a Hypno so hard that the server crashed XD

How much is Pokemon Go? I'm totally onboard for it, but money is tight these days. I can't shell out $50 or $60 right now.

Technically it's F2P, but pokeballs and eggs are available at every pokestop, which are literally everywhere, so you can easily play the game and enjoy it without paying a cent.

My city's basement-dweller element has gone absolutely berserk over this game and now, where there used to be naught but empty sidewalks, there are instead throngs of people scowling at their phones and chasing footprints all over town. The graveyard 2 blocks from where I live has no fewer than 18 PokeStops. People charge up on goods over there. Most of the friends I have around here are alternately mad at crashing servers and delighted to be out and about doing something they enjoy and have fantasized about... I would assume much like we do.
One of the unintended side effects, however, is that players have been venturing dangerously close to the campus I work on. Evidently at least one of them was interested in chasing a Pokemon straight across our property -- and given that ours is a residential mental health facility, this is an extraordinarily bad idea. We've also evidently had something of a problem with trash-talkers harassing members of rivaling teams. And then there was tonight, when my girlfriend was driving across a parking lot and her phone alerted her to a nearby Paras... she stopped in place. Thankfully the lot was empty and there was no traffic happening -- but still, please don't GO and drive!
On the whole, it does seem to be an overwhelmingly positive experience for those I've seen. Couple friends of mine made local news regarding the game.

Make a Pokemon Go forum. We can all post topics. Perfect opportunity to inject some Pokemon related activity.
I am Team Yellow. Fuck the major parties.
Finally got it. I'm going on a drunken exploration tonight to catch some shit.
If I die, you'll know why.
