People enjoy playing videogames. One that encourages you to walk outside as much as possible is hardly the worst one.
One that encourages people to walk around outside with their head buried in their phone is a recipe for disaster. I'm surprised no one has been run over yet

It drives me crazy when you hear people say "Oh of course people's lives are so hectic nowadays they's hardly got time to ....." WTF!!! Indeed - Society is dumbing down lower with every year that passes.

Happened in the States.
Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

As a player myself it is really entirely down to the user how dumb you are with it. It says right in front of you every time you load the app up that you MUST be aware of your surroundings at all times.
For me it's a nice companion game for my walks; makes them relatively interesting and gives me a nice kick of nostalgia. If anything pops up my phone vibrates and THEN I look at it. Those with their faces glued to the screens are just being silly unfortunately.

On the news on Planet Rock all day yesterday the police were warning people not to walk into the sea looking for Pokemon because it could be dangerous after a group of girls were spotted in the sea looking at their phones.
Come on like what's next remember to wipe your arse when you take a shit?
F*cking hell this country's in a state isn't it?

They may be outside but they are interacting with a feckin phone FFS!!!
There's a generation coming through who lack basic communication skills and cant make any eye contact with you to save their lives!
Say "good morning" to many under 25 and they look at you as if you've just shat all over the presents on Xmas Morning!!!!
Is that why you got sacked as wyevale's father Christmas?
Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

Wrong sir. There's quite a lot of communication. seeing someone with it on their phone tends to start up conversations with perfect strangers. A good deal of pokeshops and lures means instant gathering of people who are talking and interacting as they wait for the pokestop to respawn.
Mainly I think people are more keen to talk about other people's pocket monsters while green with envy. "damn youngins and their Packing Mans"

What on earth does 'waiting for a pokestop to respawn' mean?
Some moron was pointing their phone at my feet earlier today while shouting something unintelligible which I assume was to do with Pokemon.
What with that and walking past Olympia this morning to be greeted with the sight of middle aged people dressed in full Star Trek uniforms, today has been surreal.

Pokestop are real world landmarks that serve up ingame items (pokeballs, incense , lures, etc)
Respawn- its a common gaming term for asset regeneration. so in this case every two minutes a pokestop will unlock for another go, so you can get more stuff.

Maybe it was a Syrian refugee with a foot fetish?

Each to their own I say. People need to make sure their own lives and hobbies are acceptable to everybody before criticising those who choose to wander the streets catching pokemon.

Nah - it was a 'yoof'.
I actually think it's all a bit of fun - the only slight issue is them using stupid places to put these things - St Thomas' A & E this week asked people to stop going in looking for characters !!

The people who made the game haven't put them specifically there, though. They move about randomly in the game. It would take an insane amount of work to program specific locations for every single one for every country on the planet...
People just need to stop being stupid and use some common sense. Failing that, if someone walks into the sea and drowns without realising they were getting a bit wet because they were playing a game, then I'm of the opinion the world doesn't really need that person all that much.
