That's like saying drunk driving death's are natural selection. Unfortunately these f---tards tend to kill everyone BUT themself. Getting hit by a Pokemon GO idiot driver/drunkdriver is not natural selection.



Is it not? XD

Is murder not natural selection? XD

Is a Lion murdering and eating a gazelle natural selection?

You're just splitting hairs. Pokemon Go has factually lead to a decrease in survive-ability for *some* people. Natural selection at work.

Its natural selection and there is no selection in getting run over by a pokemon player.
The lion very well does select the weakest gazelle out of the herd because its the easiest prey.

However, if you consider pokemon driving a fundamental shift in general environmental conditions (like ice ages) instead of crazy incidents then yes, the ones that cant adapt and still cross the streets with green traffic ligths trusting the sanity of the approaching car driver could be removed from the gene pool by natural selection.

Lol are people seriously suggesting to make this game in any shape or form similar to pokemon go? this can not be real.

Buzzerbeater has failed to make ANY changes for the last half decade.I was here 6 years ago,very little has changed.

Games like this are a slow process,you dont come here for instant entertainment,which is something most people want,they want instant entertainment,just like in music,movies etc they will see whats the most popular and they join in.

Something must have gone wrong because those people knew what they were in for and kept playing but after some time for some reason stopped coming here,i dont know what that reason is but surely it is not because they couldnt colour their arena green or give their players jersey numbers etc.

If you think silly gimmicks will keep people from leaving or bring new people in,you are delusional.

I guess I'm the crazy one here then for not just inherently trusting other people to obey traffic laws, not be sleep deprived, not be drunk, not be texting, not drop their cigarette and burn themselves etc. I'm the crazy one for being aware of my surroundings?

What makes the "weakest gazelle" the easiest prey?

Is it *always* the "slowest" gazelle, or is it possible, just *possible* that sometimes, its the gazelle that is last to notice that there is danger? Do you not think people's ability to recognize or sense danger is involved here? Are you not looking in your rear view mirror while driving to see if the person behind you is on their phone? Are you not maintaining a safe distance from the driver in front of you in case they decide to... Let's just say swerve across 3 lanes of highway into a ditch, get out of their car, and run about 10 yards from it to try and catch a Pokemon when it was 8:47pm on a Sunday night and you're on a major freeway going around 80 miles per hour or roughly 129 kilometers per hour?

I guess for me it's just an extension of what you're taught as a girl, being aware of your surroundings, what people (guys) are doing and what they're watching, to lessen chances of being assaulted or robbed or raped. So if one isn't just naturally trusting or oblivious to their surroundings more than others it just seems like crazy talk.

People do not understand jokes or sarcasm through the internet.

Moving on with life is one thing,i too stopped playing this game because i didnt have time,im still back because i love this game.
It is simply not possible that not only 30k people suddenly (over the course of 5 years) decided to leave the game because they didnt have time,and not only that,the game didnt manage to bring even a small percentage of that number of new people back.It just doesnt work this way,something must have gone wrong.

Maybe the game managed 50k people through advertisement and then they stopped advertising or something similar,you cant just lose over half of the population without something going wrong. Or somehow the game failed to attract new players,for whatever reason.

The thing is,when you have a dangerous and steady decline in users you have to do something,and there hasnt been anything serious done like i said very little has changed in the game. Maybe its not about changing something in-game but some other factor,im in no position to know how it works,but surely if the people in charge of this game actually cared they would have done something even after a big drop in user base.

I can tell you that joining a game that has a small declining user base is not very attractive,especially when you have seen how populated it was once.


Oh and joining the game for whatever reason is a complicated process for whatever reason (no reason at all). I joined twice and got declined for "not providing enough information"

I tried to contact ANYBODY from here,and the only way of contact is twitter... TWITTER... which i sent a tweet and i never even got a reply as to why i was getting declined.

There are some fundamental things wrong with the game,somebody else in my shoes wouldnt even try to sign up a second time. I know it might sound surprising but actually have to put effort to make your product even slightly good.
