Hi everyone! Sarah from PokeDates (www.gopokedates.com) here. For a bit of background, a few years ago I founded a dating startup called Project Fixup. We set up thousands of dates, went through Techstars, got some PH love (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...), but never quite became the next Tinder and had more or less accepted that we'd go quietly into that good startup night. Last Thursday, Dank, our Chief Fixup Officer, came up with the idea for using out platform to fix people up to play Pokemon GO together. It was without a doubt the best idea Project Fixup has ever had, and we HAD to go full freaken measure. 6 sleepless days and nights later, with the help of several other amazing friends of Fixup who contributed with design, site customization, and PR, PokeDates was born. Whether you like the idea or think it's the sign that we have reached Peak Pokemon and the apocalypse is near, I'd much appreciate it if you could: 1) Post about in your #random slack channel at work 2) Mention it on Facebook to your PokemonGo loving friends 3) If you're unattached, give it a shot! Dank and I will be on Product Hunt today answering any questions you all have. Thanks all!

@afhill Sorry for my slow PH reply, has been a crazy day. But your response is my favorite of the day :). Here's to hoping we one day live in a world where every slack team has a (...HR approved) #pokedates channel.

Is this US only? I signed up from New Zealand, Cellphone format looks like a US number, it wouldn't accept my NZ number

@karthiksekarnz We are currently US only, due in part to the phone format we use, but if there is interest are definitely open to expanding internationally. Thanks for checking us out!

I already find that Pokemon Go is a great icebreaker in social situations, whether if it's to make new friends or talk to men/women.

@chrisunderdown Thanks, we agree! Perhaps eventually we'll branch out to PokeFriendMaking! In the meantime please send your unattached Pokemon GO friends our way!

The picture is amazing! I like also the concept of meeting people in real life without spending countless time swipping right! Nice shot guys!

I love the idea about meeting people with a common interest. Personally, I wish there was a dating service to help me find people that didn't play Pokemon :)

@courtlandalves We also support this use case at www.projectfixup.com! You can put Pokemon Go fans as a dealbreaker in your @projectfixup profile and get matched on other types of dates. Fwiw, you can even get fixed up on a PokeDate while having Pokemon GO fans as a dealbreaker and we can try to match you with people who have never played Pokemon GO and will play it for the first time on your PokeDate. These matching scenarios may take longer, but we will do our best. Thanks again for checking us out!
