    It does? I guess there is nothing around my house, because I tried running around with it here and at work and never got an alarm when my phone was on standby. It's time that the weather gets better so I can try it properly.

    Well, it can't be closed unless it's through the program itself (requires gyroscope; if you use the pokego battery saver it closes it when held upside down, but will still give alerts. But that's solvable by just keeping a finger on the screen, or turning your idle off. Anytime a pokemon comes within range it vibrates to alert you.

Whenever you encounter something it would notify you, that way you'd conserve battery life and wouldn't be a hindrance to your surroundings for most of the time, but I guess then people might no longer need the mobile cancer features .
    The game has those features. You turn on the battery saver mode, put it in your pocket and it will continue to run and will alert you when something pops up so you can pay attention while walking.

    Yesterday a cop pulled up to my buddy and I who were parked on a street trying to catch a Charizard (I caught it). He told us somebody had reported a suspicious vehicle "scoping out" houses and told us to leave after we explained that we were just playing a game. Smh copper just wanted the Charizard to himself

    TBF Team Valor is basically Gary Oak at this point.

    Let's be honest, what's more likely to happen? Getting kids to try to be more aware of their surroundings and play safely, or keep crazy paranoid gun nuts from shooting at people for random reasons? I think we both know the answer.

    So, it doesn't work when I put the whole phone in standby then, does it?

    Not unless it's through the app itself.

    HOWEVER. There's gonna be a wrist-band thing on the 29th (? something like that) that'll let you catch by pressing a button or something, dunno what status your phone has to be in for that.

    It's true.

    Team Valor are the popular team, the big team. The team with a car and cheerleaders.

    If anyone is Ash Ketchum it's Team Instinct.

    I like how they left out the part where the car charged at the man before he started shooting.

    To be blunt, there are two sides to this story and only one is being discussed/voiced here.

    A man was sleeping in his Palm Coast area home about 1:30 a.m. when a loud noise woke him up. The 37-year-old looked outside and spotted a white car parked in the road outside his Primrose Lane house, said Flagler County Sheriff's Office Jim Troiano.

    He grabbed his handgun and went outside to investigate. As he came up to the car, he overheard one of the two teens say "did you get anything?" Troiano said.

    That's when the man stepped in front of the vehicle, thinking they had possibly broken into his home, raised his gun and ordered them not to move, officials said.

    The vehicle sped towards him and he moved out of its path. He then fired rounds at the vehicle because he said it "was attempting to strike him," Troiano said.

    Thanks to Rivellana for an awesome signature

    I like how you think some guy charging up to a car like he's the police, leveling a gun at them, and demanding they not move makes him the good guy.

    No, he's still a nut with a gun. Especially if he fired at it while it was moving, because who does THAT shit.

    Reckless use of a firearm charges, at the minimum, happens when you fire at moving cars.


    And yes, if you walk up t my car in the middle of the night, walk in front of it, and level a gun at me I'm moving the car forward. You can move, or you can get run down, but I'm not going to sit and stare at the barrel of a crazy guy's gun.

    How about not pointing your gun at other civilians

    That might be what inspired them to try and run him over...

    So a guy points a deadly weapon at them and they try to escape/defend themselves? Truly monsters they are.

    Fair point. I just wonder if the guy got charged with anything... article doesn't say. Attempted murder would suffice
