link?
yeah the ones in my city went to the Zoo who are actually providing lures in all their pokestops
Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Mike's advice: M-maybe if you all go hug the AT&T cell tower?
Crowbcat of this is going to be delicious.
Sonic last year, Pokémon this. 2019's live event fail has a lot to live up to. Actual Jurassic Park levels perhaps.

It was the same in my town. 30-40 people got together and shared food and had a great time wandering the local park. I was worried I'd be missing out by not heading to Chicago, but it looks like it's the other way around lol. Feel very bad for the people having a hard time at the event, that's gotta suck.

Chicago downtown area has a lot of lures and activities going on. This is like a blessing in disguise lol
'So, you've just been meme'd'
This isn't Sonic level until we have a costumed Pikachu awkwardly walk out to the crowd and start dabbing to the music :x
The hell is wrong with people? Why are people heckling hosts like it's their fault the servers are down?

This Pokemon is obviously named the best
/Dying.
People paid money to travel... paid money to get in... nothing worked. Only a few people caught anything. People left... people weren't allowed to leave... more apologies and blaming it on the servers (which were fine)... compensation made...

The word "fest" seems like the worst thing for a game requiring online connection. During Lollapalooza, you can't get signal at all because of how many people are there. I'm sure this wasn't nearly on that scale but.. surely someone thought of that.
Along with all the usual snafus, screwups, awkward moments, and technical/quality issues we associate with live events.
Shitty.
Shut it down.

Before the Women's March earlier this year, I had never heard of this happening. Shouldn't cell phone providers have a way to account for huge clusters of people in case of an emergency?
Bruh we've passed sonic. Sonic was So bad it's hilarious. This is so bad that it came from funny right back around to sad and dissapointing. It's schadenfreude at this point, and that's not my kinda thing. :/
It's getting crazy out there like the old WCW NWO days.

You never know what somebody is going threw in their life. I've learned to never judge. What may be just a app for me and you may mean something more to the person next to us.
He's talking about this clip:

I don't think she looks like she is on the verge of tears or anything.
She did look kinda down to me. If the crowd is willing to throw things at staff, then it could be possible they could be saying rude things or acting mean to staff on the field. Maybe she has met some resistance of her own we haven't seen.
If anything the people in Niantic who talked with the event organizer and the event organizer itself are what's going to have a rough Monday morning, if they make it to Monday
People fly out to witness the opening of a new Apple Store. That's just what some people do.

That was...oh man. I feel bad for laughing but...wow...
I wouldn't at all be surprised if we had an encore of this to top it all off:
I'm still trying to figure out if the person got stuck in their suit, or if a crazed man ran up to hug it :x
Black Phillip is attending Pokemon Go Fest. No wonder the event is doomed. That loathsome trickster speaks with a forked tongue and seeks to corrupt our maidens.
I haven't seen the movie, but wasn't a goat the reason behind the Chicago Cubs' curse?

I understand the frustration, but getting mad at her won't solve anything, blame to organizers (a hex on me if she's the organizer)
Yes. The Cubs threw a goat out of the stadium because it smelled bad, and then never won another World Series for like 76 years.

Holy shit what a mess. I'd be so pissed if I'd be there.
But in hindsight I gotta say you should have seen this coming.

The dancer seemed to have deflated the suit and the stage-hands went into emergency mode, what's ludicrous is that after a few moments, it looks like they repair the suit, try to bring him back out to the crowd's appaluse, only for it to fall apart again. No one was hurt thankfully, the whole thing blew me away by just how surreal it was.

Edit: correction, upon closer inspection, it's a 'her' not a 'him'.
Honestly, why does Niantic seem to be so piss poorly managed? They take forever to come out with any new content, fix bugs, and they can't even figure "hey, we'll be having several thousand people come to one place, better make sure our servers are doing well and hey, perhaps do some more upgrading to be sure".
