New Poll - Pokemon Go
Pokemon Go is taking over phones by the storm, so Vesey suggested we do a poll about it.
Edit: Remade the poll to include a few more options
You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=3903
Previous Poll Results:
Question: How do you prefer translations of jokes/puns?
Choices:
Literal translation and no explanation in a translation note - votes: 94 (1.3%)
Literal translation with a translation note on the side - votes: 3904 (55.9%)
Replaced with equivalent English joke/pun but with translation note on the side - votes: 2836 (40.6%)
Replaced with English joke/pun and no indication of not being literal translation - votes: 154 (2.2%)
There were 6988 total votes.
The poll ended: July 16th 2016
All you translators, take note

Well... Not playing, doesn't seem reasonable to play... For the same reason I am no longer playing MMO... I want to take care of my RL, not my augmented life...

you need a couple more options maybe? I'm not playing coz I can't.
My phone is too old to support the program and I'm using a prepaid phone.

Same problem for me, my phone is to old.

Not playing because all of my devices don't support it (those that can download it lack GPS apparently or something since my location can't ever be found supposedly, even though I'm in the right place in the map).... So yeah.
If I were playing though, I'd obviously be in all three teams (I actually have enough Google Accounts to do this, and a Pokemon Trainer account or two; which I haven't been able to get into because of all the sign-ups for people who want to play Go which is rather annoying as I used them for other things) just to mess with stuff.

Not playing, because when I go out I don't do things I'd do at home.
» Natsuki@ on July 16th, 2016, 9:40am
While trying it could be cool seeing as I have prepaid only it would not really work out and all the data that the app acquires leaves me hesitating. Plus when a family member of mine tried it their battery emptied really fast so that's an other point why I would wait before trying it.

I remade the poll and added a few more options for you guys to choose from

Not playing because I'm not interested
I like the Pokemon series but mobile stuff never interested me.
I'd rather play Pokemon at home and enjoy the game rather than running into traffic for a ratata.
If you play this, please be aware of your environment!

I ditto that.

playing but haven't reached that point yet =) doing other stuff right now so I can't get into it that much yet
» chineserider on July 16th, 2016, 2:19pm
I've enough to do and not fond of going to many places just to catch a pokemon, so not going to play.

Not playing because Pokemon Go is barely a game.
If I wanted to play a game, I would find a real game to play.

Exactly. Even if you have just played a real mobile game you would know that Pokemon Go in its current state is not a real game. Unless Pokemon is your life there is no appeal.

Thank you! They really need to do a lot of work on the "game."
» Jolty Febe on July 16th, 2016, 5:59pm
I would like to try it but as I have a Windows Phone that's not happening, and I'm too lazy to circumvent around the app limitations of Windows.
» Mikashi on July 16th, 2016, 6:24pm
Not playing~.
Even if I did, all I would be catching are Eevee's and their eeeveelutions, lel.
And maybe like Vulpix and Growlithe/Arcanine too, lel.
Besides, I have an iPhone 4, and Apple is stupid and doesn't recognize my ID password even though it's correct so it won't let me download anything anyway, rofl.
/Regardless I've also heard that it won't work on the 4, but too lazy to verify said-information.

I'm not interested in Pokemon. Even when I was back in elementary school, I was one of the only kids who didn't collect the Pokemon cards or watch the series. I just never understood the appeal.

I like the turn-based battle system of the original Pokemon games and Pokemon Go doesn't utilize that. Also, I already go outside and take walks and whatever all the time so Pokemon Go is more of a distraction to me than something enjoyable.
Like some other people have said already, please be aware of your surroundings when playing.

A lot of my friends at home plays it. If I was playing it, I most likely would have gone with Team Mystic (Blue).
The concept is nice. But, unfortunately, ain't got the time and stamina to play it. Though thousands of people plays it, the Gym and Battles are simply....lol
Warning: Guys beware of foolish people walking around looking at their phones trying to find Pokémon(s). And Absolutely Don't Pokémon and Drive.

There's no option for not having a team yet. (I'm super indecisive)
