Pokemon go is a few smart phone app that has you running around, to capture pokemon. It's like Ingress, which is a virtual form of capture the flag set in the real world (virtual points to capture at real world locations) same deal here except these animals, well creatures, can be caught all over the place. This makes this game a fun thing to do on a walk, since you have to go out and walk around places to truly play.
Yes, it's a bit silly, but my dogs don't care what I do on walksies, as long as they get to go too! People who are walking into traffic and stuff are dumb. This is like any phone usage, don't be a moron with it!

I just love this game! Playing this game made me realise that I was spending most of my time indoors and wasn't getting any exercise at all!
Thanks to this game, I have walked nearly 5 miles in 2 days!
Also I realised that I was getting almost no sunlight for the whole day (very important for synthesis of vitamin D).
This game is really a stroke of genius from Nintendo and this will actually help the people a lot!

@Jessicalynnt Yeah, they say it will be launched end of the month in Japan. They're preparing enough servers or something prior to the launch. I guess they expect a huge jump of users once it's launched.
Your photo... is that in Japan?

that's what annoys me, anything can be dangerous if you are dumb with it. This is just a game, actually made for adults not kids, and if you dont drive and do it, and pay attention to your surroundings, which you should be ANYWAYS, there is no harm

@Alonabo everything in moderation, I honestly have my game set to where i can just hold onto it, it buzzes if I need to attend to it, that helps with the whole glued to the screen thing

@Jessicalynnt Exactly! People always look for the evil in new things.
I’m one of those people who don’t like all of the sh*t that make the children and the other community staring on the screen. but this is the first time that something new forcing all of the people go out and discover the neighborhood and the other places around them, meet new people and actually do some sports!

well one could say that about all kinds of things. I would never wander off by myself to play. I walk in my neighborhood, or go with hubby out to parks to walk

they could be there, humans just need to pay attention to their surroundings, safety is more imp than a silly virtual catch
