It's a lot of fun. It gives me and the wife something to do on our nightly walks. But, like everything else, stupid people will ruin it. I constantly see people playing it while they are driving.
I don't think it will. Pokemon is hugely popular. It will die down a small amount when the people just playing because it's "cool" right now stop, but it's going to be a big problem. Everyone needs to keep an extra sharp eye out for people on their phone while driving.
Also be weary of people walking around your property/workplace. Lots of people trespassing just to play the game. My friend confronted someone on his private property. He took his rifle and German Shepards out to see what the hell he was doing. Guy was just playing the stupid game.
at least the kids are WALKING now. I mean ****, better than 15 hours SITTING, playing xbox or PS.
I must have been to old to enjoy Pokémon too.
I play the shit out of this game.
i play the game,
JigglyPuff FTW!
It's a lot of fun.
Not sure it's worth getting so upset about. I plan to play it with my 11yr old daughter, good way to get her out and us doing something fun together. Just like a 1000 other things in our modern world - people need to be responsible for their own behavior and actions.
Saturday evening I was down in Maryland picking up a F250 with a friend. We stopped at an advanced auto outside of Elkton and as we were getting some stuff, heard the reason why I-95 was backed up for miles. I'm used to I-95 being a piece of shit, but apparently 2 people ran out into the middle of the highway to catch a pokemon. This topic came up in the store because some guy in the parking lot was running around doing the same thing.
This game has already had many people get robbed, give it a week and someone will end up dead from it.
robbed for what?
GIMME YOUR POKEMANZ
They are tagging rare pokemon in random locations, and when people show up to catch them, they get their wallets and phones stolen.
are you kidding me? Jesus people are idiots....
Meh...they play Pokémon so....they probably deserved it.
I already designed a version that would be a whole lot more fun. At least for most of us.
Geo link nude selfies to the girl that posted them. Then direct the searchers to them. :uh oh:
Then let's see who rants and screams about the game.
What the **** - you serious? I didnt know it had reached that level of stupidity.....
I'm part of this 'Generation' that everyone hates, and it'll be a cold day in hell before I'm trespassing to catch ****ing pokemon, or texting while im on the interstate moving at 90 mph, or fighting with the police and claiming 'police brutality' when they whoop my ass, you know...the dumb shit.
I was tool old for Pokemon when it came out in 1995 and was more into BMX then video games.
I use this game as time to spend with my stepson and bond with the kid. He's not into the same stuff as me and vice versa however since we downloaded this app we have spent a couple hours each night walking around our local parks.
People already text and drive and text while walking. The stupid was already present so let's not act like this is a new phenomenon with people being distracted by their smartphones.
