    That trailer made me a child again. I want to storm Times Square in a raid/FATE to combat motherfucking Mewtwo. Holy shit.

    After playing pokemon shuffle for the first time on mobile, then going to my 3ds for event code and seeing that horrid resolution, I think this might be the best move to not have to deal with nintendo's shit hardware.

    There's a reason why the smart-tag accessory (that Pokeball-shaped thing you see the people with) comes in handy. It'll vibrate to let you know there's a Pokémon in the area, rather than you staring through your phone while driving and eating a Jersey barrier.

    It would be hilarious if it turns out that pokeballs are the in app purchases.

    You'd have to. Highway-speed Pokeball drive-bys aren't probably going to happen (and I wouldn't be surprised if the GPS system refuses to allow catches if it detects the phone moving fast enough to prevent it even if someone tried.)

    I'm sure they are. The app itself is free, so microtransactions are likely the revenue stream.

    Yeah I figured, but I imagine they start you off with a few for free but then you hit the paywall of wanting to catch more which would be messed up (but genius).

    However, I am not opposed to them selling the specialized pokeballs (like dusk, water, etc) but there better be an alternate way to gather regular balls without breaking bank.

    Make balls free, but limit box size. "Oh, you want more than 6? Well let me tell you about Bill's Express Box Emporium..."

    Lanyard. Under my work shirt.

    I'll be taking a lot more strolls around the subway station at work with this app. If Nintendo really pulls it off, they'll have basically gotten ahead of the gaming curve. Again.

    I just started playing Pokemon shuffle. I am pretty sure IT will follow a similar in app purchase format. Though the one in shuffle is a bit flawed, it works.

    In shuffle, Pokeballs are free. It shows you your percentage of a successful catch. Most common pokemon start off with a decent catch rate, like 40%. Then you got a bonus to catch rate based on how quickly you won. Which can boost you to75% to 100%.
    If you fail to catch the pokemon, you are given the option to use a great ball which further increases catching % by 20% ish( sometimes you get a random bonus that will increase it even more to 100%). Great balls cost coins. Coins can be rewarded from ingame play or bought with a jewel. Jewels drop very rarely and are also purchased through cash shop. Cash shop has limit on how many Jewels you can buy in a week.I supposed to keep people from leveling too quickly. Jewels also can be used to increase your hearts(or energy) which takes 30min to replenish a single heart.

    I am still pretty early in the game so I have vnot encountered any higher tier pokemon or ultra balls.

    The system works pretty well though. So I imagine in PMGO, there will be catch percentages based on rarity. You can buy great and ultra balls. Would be interesting to see if they called the Cash Shop "PokeMart" and sold pretty much everything sold at in game pokemarts.

    Or transcend space and time to get Dialga and Palkia ?
    Trailer only showed stuff from the original 151 it looks like. Either for simplicity's sake or future prospects or something?
