I would not be shocked if it's a Google Glass eyewear. Now Pokemon masters can be Glassholes!

 

[Stylo]

I'll take a google phone with a pokedex skin.

 

[Kolma]

caught all 151 commented on google+ (which I believe they deleted)
Replied on twitter
and yet... no message so far

 

[NogibTC]

Got all 151 on April Fools but I didn't even hear about these Twitter/G+ posts until today. Thanks Google......

 

[Goldrush]

Damn, Mew. I spent three hours following the river and still fail.

 

[Mugatu]

Congrats to whoever did it - I should have but was too lazy.

Hopefully it's something really cool like a Pokemon themed Google Glass.

 

[Lucario]

I caught all the pokemon, was active on the subreddit, and tweeted google w/ the location where I caught mew multiple times.

They never tweeted me back. Considering that they haven't tweeted anyone in five days, I think I'm fucked. Tons of other people in /r/googlepokemon are in the same boat.

I hope this doesn't mean we don't get whatever it is if we didn't respond to that post :/

Unfortunately, yeah, you had until 4/21. I was lucky I checked back when I did, or I would've missed it too. They probably limited the timeframe to thin the numbers a bit.

...hopefully they're not thinning the numbers any more than that, though, because I'd be pretty pissed if google skips me over. At least I want an email acknowledging I caught them all!

 

[tensuke]

Damn, had to comment/tweet by 4/21 about it? Didn't see that. Found Mew somewhere in Japan, Nintendo HQ I think. Guess I missed out anyway.

 

[feel]

wtf, I would've actually tried to do it if I knew I would get something for it

Well yeah, you and many many others. Pretty cool that they didn't announce the prize and the only people getting it are the ones who did it for the actual fun of it.

Pretty asinine of them to not indicate that in the Google Maps app itself. Oh well.

Didn't even hear about this anywhere. I caught all 151 and Mew took me over an hour alone. Would it not have been possible to send an e-mail to the e-mail of those who participated?

 

[Jabraham]

This was real, damn thought this was a joke.

 

[jelani435]

Yup guys, it's real. Another site posted the same thing:

Looking forward to seeing what it is!

What do you guys think it could be?

 

[gashikunFLCL]

What!? What!?

Fuck you Google and fuck you Mew!!

 

[tensuke]

I'll bet it's that cool business card that said "Pokemon Master" on it from the announce video. Ah well, I can just make my own if that's the case.

 

[BlueSteel]

My sister found all 151 but didn't comment or tweet. Livid now.

I was too lazy... whups.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

probably us only and if you have no real address registered with that google account then your not getting anything I guess.

 

[Unicorn]

Google glass that has pokemon snap preloaded on it. Boom.

System seller

 

[tim_pkmn89]

It has to be a diploma

 

[LoveCake]

I wonder if it's a WiiU ?

 

[Poltergust]

Yeah, I wish I knew about this earlier. I'm actually surprised that this wasn't advertised by someone on GAF (as far as I know). I want that prize. =(

 

[L.O.R.D]

maybe a 50$ google play card ?

 

[PKMNTrainer]

Didn't respond in time... Caught all 151...

 

[BGBW]

Ugh. Mew glitched on me (basically all the Pokémon graphics in that area on appeared in one big grey box) so I couldn't catch it. Also I was on holiday sightseeing so I really couldn't dedicate anymore time trying to hunt for him in another location.

Well it's cool that Google is rewarding those who did it even though it was luck based.

EDIT: Reading that now expired G+ page, you could apply with just 150. Sad times.

EDIT2: Like this:

lolwat

 

[milkham]

i got them all but never commented on anything

 

[wsoxfan1214]

I hope this doesn't mean we don't get whatever it is if we didn't respond to that post :/

:lol, are you kidding me, Google? If we didn't tweet you back or look on your network, we're screwed? Glad I wasted my time.

 

[twinturbo2]

lolwat

Google is rich as fuck, they can do it if they want to.

 

[BGBW]

Lots of people still tweeting with the #pokemonchallenge hashtag hoping to get somewhere. Understandable since getting Mew was a right pain for some.

 

[-Horizon-]

Its going to be a sneak peak of the Ruby/Sapphire remake.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Yep. Took me two days. Tried tweeting them but I doubt I'll get it.

Absolutely horrible way to handle this with the twitter and G+. Should have just tracked via being signed into the app. Glad I wasted two days. :/

 

[The Real Abed]

The last time I did something for Google they sent me a laptop.

I almost wish I'd participated in the Pokémon hunt.

 

[GuessMyUserName]

Dammit I was way too busy with exams to fit in enough time for this. =/

 

[MaximumSpider]

I would have actually tried if I knew!

 

[qualitydisc]

Whatever the prize is is going to be such eBay bait

 

[Andrefpvs]

Still waiting for my form. Anyone else?

 

[Kolma]

Still waiting too though I might have been shafted out of it..
Hopefully not
Please gaffers post in this thread when you get your forms!!

 

[RobotHaus]

I posted in that G+ Thread before the time limit, caught all 151 on time, and post where I caught it.

But no link form Google. Dang.

Oh well. Half the fun was from finding all the Pokémon. Though it would be neat to get something else.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Tried and couldn't find Mew.

Ah well. Hopefully the gift is at least something cool.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Still waiting for my form. Anyone else?

Yep. Infuriating that we needed to watch witter and G+ to get it. So dumb. Was a complete waste of time. :/

 

[Green Card]

Aww I didnt even know about this.

 

[fvng]

Any confirmation on the prize?

 

[Rainbow In The Dark]

Yup guys, it's real. Another site posted the same thing:

Looking forward to seeing what it is!

What do you guys think it could be?

But you are the one that wrote that...

 

[Keyser Soze]

Any confirmation on the prize?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Google genetically engineered real pokemon, and are sending them to the worthy.

My first thought. haaha

 

[wenis]

where's the hole?

 

[Kolma]

where's the hole?

around back

 

[chrominance]

You had to comment on a G+ post or tweet at Google Maps?

Goddammit. How the hell was I supposed to know any of that?

EDIT: Wait, AND you didn't have to get 151? Double goddammit. Is it even possible to reply to that post anymore? There's no comment button.

Ah, fuck it. Stupid Google.

 

[Tortimer]

Ugh. I got 150, could not for the life of me find Mew, cleared the cache, which in turn apparently cleared my history of ever catching any pokemon. This is rough.

Ugh, me too. I looked around for a Mew for a while, but couldn't find it for the life of me... I was thinking, "Well, it's not like they're going to give us something for finding Mew."

 

[demolitio]

I'm torn between hoping it's something really cool for the people that did get it and hoping it's something trivial for the poor souls that ran into problems or didn't respond.

Either way, pretty awesome of Google and I can't say that very often.
