Nerdy Show 267 :: Poké Stuff & Mallow Fluff
The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast unloads on the latest geek news and happenings!
At long last, our Augmented Reality prophecy has come true! After years of speculation on what the AR future could hold, the unprecedented power of Pokémon has thrown society headlong into virtual monster madness. With Pokémon GO, throngs of nerds and normies alike are meandering through the streets at all hours; disturbing the peace, connecting with total strangers, and even discovering bodies.
Join Cap, boR, Jess, and Brandon and we enter this bold, new world. We share tales of our Pokémon GO exploits, gripes with the game, and all the amazing and strange ways that the entire planet has been reacting to this virtual invasion. But that’s not all – we also indulge in a crazy snack we dreamed up on this very show, brought to life: Ecto Cooler Twinkies! Plus, more substantive video game experiences, awesome cartoons, and our apprehension for the new Ghostbusters.

So the pokestops and Gyms in Pokemon go are ingress portals. They just copied over all of the ingress portals. They have weeded a lot of them out if they were duplicates or are too close together. All of the pictures and locations are user submitted which is why they are so good. The criteria is listed here. https://support.ingress.com/hc/en-us/articles/207343987-Candidate-Portal-criteria
I actually played the new ghostbusters game at e3. It wasn’t great, wasn’t bad. 4 player coop with competition over resources. top down 3rd person camera. It didn’t make my super excited to play and half the characters were male for some reason.
Iiiinteresting. We also found out shortly after this recording that business are going to be able to pay per visit for their location to be a Pokestop.
Weird about the GB game – especially the male characters…. wtf.
