OH NO HERE COMES KIM FROM NERD ALERT.
AM I ON?
YEAH, I TOOK OVER TO JIM'S.
ONE OF THE POKEMON IS NAMED CENK UYGUR , YOU'RE WELCOME.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
IS THIS GOING TO BE THE DOWNFALL OF CIVILIZATION?
NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE EXACTLY IN ONE SPOT TO GET IT.
YOU CAN BE ACROSS THE STREET EVEN.
ALL RIGHT, I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER.
SO YOU HAVE TAKEN OVER A COUPLE OF GYMS WITH YOUR POKEMON?
TO THE REST OF HUMANITY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS I'M THE BEST LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS.
CONGRATULATIONS ON DOMINATION, BUT HOW DO YOU
TAKE OVER A PLACE WITH A POKEMON CHARACTER IN THIS GAME?
YOU DEFEAT THE ONES THAT ALL ALREADY THERE.
YOU HAVE TO GO TO A LOCATION PHYSICALLY AND DEFEAT THE
POKEMON THAT ARE ALREADY THERE.
DO YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GO THERE RIGHT NOW?
ONLY IF SOMEONE TOPPLES YOU.
THE BIGGER ISSUE IS NIANTIC, THE COMPANY, COLLECTING ALL OF YOUR
INFORMATION, SO IF YOU DO SIGN UP USE A THROWAWAY EMAIL UNTIL
THEY FIX IT.
JUST UNTIL YOU THOUGHT IT COULDN'T GET WORSE.
IT'S AN EASY WAY TO LET YOU LOG ON, BUT JUST TO BE SAFE YOU
CAN REMOVE THE ABILITY FOR THEM TO SEE SOME OF THAT DATA.
BY THE WAY, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS BEING A PHENOMENON, IT'S
BEEN OUT LESS THEN A WEEK ñ
THURSDAY.
LAST THURSDAY.
OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD, YOU WANT TO GUESS AT HOW MUCH
NINTENDO'S STOCK ROSE?
IT MUST BE GIGANTIC.
THIS IS BANANAS, EVERYBODY IS ALREADY PLAYING IT.
I WOULD GUESS 20%.
IT IS 25%.
IT WAS A $7.5
BILLION FOR A GAME THAT IS FREE TO PLAY.
I HEARD 9.
MAYBE AS MUCH AS 9.
ALL THESE STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE PLAYING WHILE DRIVING, THIS
SHOULD BE A CONCERN, BUT WE ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE
DOING THESE THINGS WITHOUT POKEMON.
I HAD A WHOLE RANGE OF ABOUT TEXTING AND DRIVING.
PEOPLE ASKED WHY I WAS BEING SUCH A FUDDY DUDDY.
I DISAGREE, BECAUSE YOU ARE LOOKING
THROUGH YOUR PHONE
TO FIND YOUR STUPID POKEMON.
YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO THAT WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY CAPTURING
POKEMON.
THE REST OF THE TIME IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME AS
LOOKING AT GOOGLE MAPS.
OKAY, I WANT KIM BACK.
IF THIS THING STARTED ON THURSDAY, HOW DID YOU GET IT
ñ HOW DID YOU WIND UP AT THE GYM?
I WALKED THERE.
YOU WALKED THERE, BUT DON'T YOU HAVE TO FIND THE LITTLE
FUCKERS?
WAIT, WHAT DID YOU SAY?
YOU HAVE TO FIND THE LITTLE GUYS?
YOU WALK AROUND AND YOU FIND THEM.
HOW DID YOU BRING THEM TO THE GYM?
THEY ARE IN MY COLLECTION NOW.
I FIND THEM AND I CATCH THEM AND THEN THEY ARE MINE AND I CAN
MAKE THEM FIGHT EACH OTHER.
I HAVE TWO VAPOREONS AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
TO SUMMARIZE, THIS WILL HELP CREEPERS CAPTURE PEOPLE AND
PUT THEM IN THEIR DUNGEONS.
IT ALSO WORKS THE OTHER WAY, YOU BECOME A CREEPER AND CATCH
THEM AND PUT THEM IN YOUR DUNGEON.
I'VE GOTTEN INTO A LOT OF VANS LEARNED BY POKEMON.
THERE ARE NO POKEMON IN THE VANS.
THERE WAS A DIGLETT IN THERE.
PLACE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
DON'T GET IN THE VANS AND DON'T MESS WITH KIM'S POKEMON.
