Pokemon Go

Although I play the game I gotta say, be mindful of where you walk and play. I was so busy in the pokie gym that I walked into a wall while walking around my gym's indoor track

 

We were on Fremont Street on Thursday night and all these people were walking around not looking where they were going and staring at their phones. I noticed several had the same thing on their screen and asked my daughter-in-law what the heck everyone was doing. She told me they were all doing Pokemon Go. Never heard of it until now but I told a couple young girls to pay attention to where they were walking as they plowed into the wife and I.

 

My son is 22 and was really into Pokémon as a kid. So I have downloaded the app do I can play with him. He had a ton Pokémon cards in storage. Maybe they will increase in value

 

I was thinking about my daughters old collection - wondering too what will happen to that with regards to value.

 

If I were standing on the corner giving away free drugs I couldn't get this many people.

 

I've not tried it myself, but my facebook page has been blowing up with all my friends playing it. I'm all for something that gets kids off the couch and walking around to "catch" these things, but I have seen warnings too about watching where you are going...but I figure kids nowadays always have their noses stuffed into their phones so this is no different than texting and walking.
Time will tell, right now all the negative posts are of people hating on another popular trend. Still, I have not tried it, but I love that it gets kids out and walking around.

 

I am just the type of person that would be all into this. Thank God I don't have a smartphone.

 

judging by some of the things i've seen on the news and read...... just technology culling the herd

 

Idea proposed by a friend - require all smart phone owners to download the app. Let Darwinism take over and weed out all the stupid people so that our gene pool gets stronger.

Similar to what BlacklabberMike has above.

As usual, a little common sense goes a long way. Sadly, common sense isn't really as common as it should be!

I have no patience and would probably get too frustrated quickly so I'm not even going to start!

Cheers,

Hopefully the dogs will be smart enough to not follow their pokemon-playing walkers into traffic!

 

did you see the moron who playing while driving and plowed into a police cruiser? what a maroon

 

Our neighboring small-town police force has been introduced to the wonders of Pokémon Go...

The assisted-living/senior housing apartments have also received a record numbers of visitors in the past week.

 

The Holocaust Museum in DC asked the game maker to remove its site from the game. Players were going through the museum catching Pokemon.

Here is a video of a distracted player in Baltimore side swiping a police car.

 

I would take my 2 yr old son ( at the time ) -
across the street to an old bell ( think = Liberty Bell )
set in a school yard.
The other day I noticed people standing by it ?
Nobody, but my son + I were ever looking at it.
My wife mentioned - "there were Pokemon figures found there."
Oh ?.......okay.

 

Pokestops seem to be based on common picture spots. At the local Air Force Museum it seems that every plane is a Pokestop, probably over 15. I spent about 30 minutes drive around hitting up the Pokestops this afternoon.

 

My fat butt is going for a walk last night. See some guy coming out of his house. Looks like he is going for a walk too. No his face is buried in his phone hunting pokemon. I find this all weird and bizarre. But to each him/her own. Just hope nobody gets killed playing this game.

 

I am 44 and having a helluva time playing it. I got started in Houston a couple weeks ago with some other 35-40 year olds. My 13 year old son ASKS me to go for walks so we can play it together. That right there is worth something. Yes, people are going to do stupid things with it and that will make the news. But those people were gonna make the news for doing something stupid at some point anyhow.....
