Woman sues Niantic for keeping her autistic son from being able to play Pokemon GO.

A New Zealand woman named Barbara Moon has said she will sue Niantic producers of the famous Pokemon GO cellphone game, because they are "Triggering and Oppresing her autistic son's needs to play the game. Barbara, 56 is a kiwi farmer who spends most of her days looking after her autistic son and her plantation. "It's just heart breaking to see him try to turn on the game only to find the servers are down. Her son Joshua suffers from high functioning autism and though he is able to fend for himself Barbara believes the best care is for him to stay with her.

"He will always be mommy's little boy no matter what anyone says." When asked Joshua stated "Pokemon GO is the best thing ever! I can feel the cosmos when I play it!" he also stated he is looking for a girlfriend and wishes he could one day work for Sega of America. Throughout the interview we could see Joshua's face, filled with stress,anger and sadness at not being able to play the game. When asked what Niantic should do Joshua shouted. "They need to turn the servers on NOW NOW NOW!!!" In response his mother stated they would not be getting a damn red cent from her till they fixed their servers and stop being ableist.

At least post a sauce you cuck faggot.

i'm just finding it hilarious that nintendo makes a pokemon game that is
1) free (so all the edgy anime anarchocommusocialistliberals won't have to spend a dime on the game)
2)on mobile (meaning you can play it practically everywhere without having to bring along a bulky ugly looking double screen)
3)1st gen ('vanilla game')
4)no 'nintendo club' sign-in, just boot it up in a city and play with and without friends

and the only reason most of these 14-30+ year old NEET catladies don't want to play it is because they have to walk. lol

Everyone's favorite disabled lolcow Kylie Brooks made a post a few days ago saying how Pokemon Go was ableist, when he can literally just wheel outside in his autism chariot and catch pokemon himself.

It hasnt dropped in Canada yet so he's just salty.
 
There was a news story about how businesses have been complaining because these fucking poke-stop things were placed in areas where you have to pay to get in, so people are now trying to break in to get those Pokemon.
This thread's gonna be good.

From the Brianna Wu thread, Wu paid a guy $30 to drive here around all day so she could catch Pokemon.

Then wrote a news article about it.

Pictured below, the drivers she paid, along with her husband Frank(The "R" is because the Wu's are Team Rocket. Wish I was kidding)

You'd think "loyal pokemon fans" would at least be competent enough to buy red duct tape instead of blue duct tape.

I don't have a recording of it sadly, but this morning on my radio, they had a call in guy who insisted pokemon go has subliminal undertones that will cause children to violently uprise against America and it's military. He then accused the radio host of being in on it when the guy was understandibly flabbergasted, and angrily hung up. Was great.

What a moron. As poorly as children would fare against the military, 40+ year old neckbeards, trannies, and cucks like Jonathan McIntosh would fare even more poorly, and those are who appear to be playing this game.
 
I hope that madness happens only because game is a new thing, new fad. Like enormous queues when Star Wars premiered. If not, I really dislike whats happen with our world. Call me old fashioned, I really don't get virtual reality appeal. And never liked Pokemon.
 
Facebook friends are very hurt because someone posted a meme making fun of Go

Couldn't be a more apt title for this thread. Seriously, I don't think I've heard of a Pokemon game receiving this much publicity in the 21st century before :/
 
I have been hearing about this game practically non-stop for the past few days and how everyone is into it. So this game is basically like Ingress? I never got into Pokemon so I don't get the appeal of this game that much.
 
All of this hysteria involving Pokemon GO is pretty autistic considering the game is literally a meme that will be forgotten in a few short months. Once you get past the initial novelty of "woahhh it uses my phone camera to make it seem LIKE POKEMON IN REAL LIFE!!!!" there's really no depth to the game at all.

I lost absolutely any potential interest I might've had in it when I casually inquired if you can actually export anything you catch to the real games on the DS, and was informed that you couldn't. Why would you want to play this game if you can't actually use anything you put serious effort into catching in the actual competitive scene? That seems like a huge miss-step.

I saw that article a couple of days ago and kind of thought it had a point. But then as I have been out the past couple of days to play, I've seen a good 6 to 7 handicapped people playing the game. Including a kid who has ALS, and had the whole Stephen Hawking set-up with a tablet the game ran on. He was having a freaking blast playing the game.

But you know, they all could still be in their houses, because Pokemon Go is a barrier or some shit.

They just want to be angry, and don't want to exercise or go outside
