What's your Poketeam?

Last night I was discussing with a friend whether or not certain teams in Pokemon Go drew in people of certain personality types. I was of the opinion that people mostly chose based on color and the Legendary bird the team was represented by and she thought that people more so chose based on the descriptions they gave each team when they let you pick.

I thought it would be interesting to see if there was any correlation between the Jedi of this Temple and their Pokemon Go team choices. It would be interesting to me if Jedi here were drawn more to one team than the others and which team it would be. Plus, it's just a fun thing to talk about. If you wouldn't mind telling me what team you are on and why you chose it, that would be great.

I'll go first. I am team Valor. I chose it because I like red more than blue or yellow, Moltres is the best of the legendary birds (it's on fire, people!), and the name Valor is just way cooler than either mystic or instinct.

Heh....here we are again, on the same coin but the flip side. Mystic, because my favorite color is blue.

Also Mystic.... for the same reasons you picked Valor... but... for Mystic.

I really haven't got into it that much, but I do play with some of my adult friends when we take their kids to the park.

Favorite color = Blue, so I went Mystic as others did.

I'm on team mystic, i guess you can say i'm a "mystic convert" since i originally was on team instinct on my old pokemon GO account (i wanted to sign in with a trainer club account when that became avalible again )

What is Pokemon Go?

Seriously though, I think the entire thing is a ridiculous waste of time and I'm amazed to find so many people sucked into the sheer lunacy of it all. Don't get me wrong, I love a good game, but this obsession with a small box and the pixels it displays to us so that we may avoid reality is something I just find dumbfounding.

What does that say about me?

I asked another friend who's playing. He picked Mystic, but it was basically a random selection... it didn't matter to him either way.

I do know one person who also picked Mystic. They were trying to decide between Valor and Mystic and made their decision when I said I was Mystic... even though there's not the same team level communications as in Ingress but you never know.

I don't play it for starters. I am curious as to why anyone feels it's acceptable to insult practices or those that take enjoyment from them simply because they themselves may not understand or support it...

Edit; Technically I'm no better, for the longest time I had problems with the ranters, so I'm not Intending to preach...

Team Valor!! :laugh:

Valor!!!!

Honestly I chose Valor because everyone I know save 2 went Valor. Team spirit and all that. We wanted to be able to represent and team together at gyms, ect ect.... Soooo Valor it was.

I liked Mystic ONLY because the bird was designed better. Artistically speaking....The valor bird looks like someone just scribbled the fire and called it good And I was really disappointed by the Valor Team Leaders outfit/name but....Meh....Whatever its a game. In that regard (team leaders) I loved Instincts outfit.

Not insulting anyone. Just my opinion on a particular practice. Results of others may vary. :silly:

I was truly curious what anyone thought about this aspect of the game - the one that brings revulsion at the thought. This thread did put forth an opinion that the team you choose could somehow be related to some aspect of your personality. So what if you choose no team... in fact are repulsed at the thought of choosing a team?

Everyone is picking teams for Pokemon Go and I'm over here still trying to beat Angry Birds... :S

If I played, I would probably go with Instinct just because I like to root for the underdog and everybody always picks the other ones. :silly:

Everyone likes to spend their time differently, I would go on to explain why I enjoy it and why I've seen others enjoy it but you're welcome to go check out the "Generation lost in a day" thread for some of that or start a new thread and ask if you're truly are curious rather than as disdainful as this sounds.

That you like to derail threads?

I'm Mystic. Blue and red are both my favorite colors, I prefer fire over ice, but I liked Team Mystic's logo so much better. I love the power in the name Valor but something just rang for me in Mystic. (and I liked the shadow of the Mystic's Leader's clothing better )

That and Ava was Mystic

My husband wanted Valor because of the name, the red, and the fire but he went Mystic for me

On the contrary, methinks you did not see my last reply...

I was not trying to be insulting. I was honestly putting forth an opinion I have and am curious about opinions on the personality aspects of it in relation to choosing a pokemon go team.

SEEE???!!!! I told you I knew someone who joined Mystic because I had lmao :laugh:

No trying to insult anyone and not insulting anyone are two different things. It appears you succeed effortlessly.

Intent and impact are different. One must still take responsibility for unintended consequences. Let people have their fun.

I don't play, but I would probably go Mystic.

I see... OK Im out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I dont play but i would go for team Instinct , i remember when i was pregnant i was very aware of what i ate and how my moods were , i lived healthy and had lots of walks , i talked to my baby and everything , i used to sit in the bath and feel her swimming around so yeah , i tried to hatch my egg so to say in the most perfect circumstances so i pull strongly towards the Yellow team :laugh:

I seen you left the thread...I am sorry, But I thought I would give my answer.

I personally find this idea of "Being Repulsed of Choosing a Team" to be more of this Social Justice Warrior nonsense

When you play Baseball....You pick a team. When you play Basket Ball, or heck...ANY Kind of sports events....you pick teams. You pick teams in almost any and every game you play (World of Warcraft Horde or Alliance? Horde Baby!)

Picking teams is a natural part of the human condition and has been going on for as long as the human and non human species is known. And....It is healthy. It motivates, challenges, and pushes you to your best potentials.

This thread did put forth an opinion that the team you choose could somehow be related to some aspect of your personality

I excitedly and with enthusiasm pick teams, and I pick them with the mentality and mindset of my surrounding friends and family. Both with Teamwork in mind, and with challenging ourselves towards new goals (Like power walking circuts to hatch eggs once kids start school....Can't wait!!)

I mentioned in my previous post that two of my friends actually picked instinct (Actually its three come to think of it) And despite our different team selections. We walked side by side catching pokemon, sharing tips and tricks, and teasingly jabbing at eachother in challenges on which of us two would take the Mystic gym first.

The idea of being Repulsed by something like a Game? Yea...Makes no sense to me at all....

HOWEVER

It is not something to dismiss either. If you are repulsed...then don't participate. *Shrugs* really that simple...I don't understand it....But I won't judge either

Its a game!!!

I save my "Repulsed" feelings for animal abusers, child rappists and mass murderers......Thats enough negative and dark energy for me to deal with....don't need it to bog me down in games too.
