Are you tempted to play Pokemon Go?

Admit it. . . are you the least bit tempted to play Pokemon Go? Don't you want to join the national craze? All, and I do mean all, the cool kids are doing it! I am not playing the game but I have had a few moments of weakness where I've been tempted to download it and play just to see what everyone is talking about. So far I have resisted. We shall see how much longer my resolve holds. (I'm predicting for a LOT longer!)

I'm fan of pokemon since when I was born, and I really love this game, Ofcourse I'm tempted to play this game but this time I can't because I'm working at the office and can't walk around just to get pokemon, but maybe someday i'll start playing it.

They were talking about it on TMZ one day last week and one of the guys said he found one in the office.

@tech40 TMZ is an an entertainment news show who have real insider knowledge on what goes on with celebrities. TMZ itself stands for, I believe, Thirty Mile Zone.

It sounds like a lot of fun. Kids are even invading Area 51 to catch special Pokemons. I don't like it that the pokies are demons from hell and false gods.

No it's dangerous as kids are playing it while driving and it's a big distraction. I don't see the whole hype about the game.

I said I wouldn't download it but I gave in as my nine year old wanted to play - her teenage sisters are completely obsessed but I must admit I'm bored already (after about an hour), I don't mind my daughter borrowing my phone to go Pokemon hunting and am thinking it might get us upping our exercise (more of a fitness app than a game...)

No, I'm not. I'm not addicted to gadgets or to phones, same applies to games.

I have not been tempted in the least. Today was the first day I actually witnessed some kids on skateboards searching around our grocery store parking lot... but then I don't get out much, AND it's not supposed to be available in Canada yet but the hackers have figured out how to get it. The more videos I watch about this stupid game, the more complicated it looks to me. So, no. I will never, EVER be tempted to play.

I've been playing. It used way too much data, though, so I'll stick to using it on the go via stores' WiFi connections. The kids get a kick out of catching Pokémon while we're shopping.

This sounds the most ridiculous game but to each his own.

I'm not the least bit interested, but my grandkids play the game. It seems to be the popular thing these days.

I think playing this can be beneficial to one's health as I've seen my friends run around the neighborhood for hours looking for Pokemon. These are guys who hardly used to come out in evenings! Outdoor excursions and some sunlight is always good for health. Also, going to parks will give you a fresh oxygen supply and help to purge the accumulated carbon dioxide.
