Pokemon Go is the opening move for Skynet.

Too focused on avoiding PMO to chase Pokemon (I don't know how that works anyway) but I see your point @Jen@8675309 !

 

The fact that people are complaining about Pokémon go even though it's getting people to be more social and outgoing is sad. Shoutout to Pokémon go for giving kids more exercise than Michelle Obama has tried to do in the past 8 years.

 

exactly, i remember hanging around with 5friend whos all minds was sucked by their phones and i couldnt have a proper conversation, even if i could it could only be a very swallow subject. Its like humans dont play with their phones, the phones are playing with humans.LOL

 

Focusing on avoiding PMO is a horrible strategy. Focus on working on your goals and having fun instead. Whether Pokemon Go fits in to that or not is up to you.

When I was a boy, a hundred years ago, we had Pokemon cards, Gameboy and Pokemon Stadium on Nintendo 64. Kids these days don't know what's what.

 

In my city there is a bridge that generally gets used as a meeting point for drug deals, prostitution, muggings etc. It's useful for such nefarious pursuits as it's dark and secluded. Turns out it's also a Pokemon hot spot. Pokemon players keep having quite bad things happen to them there when they decide to go pokemon hunting at 4am.

 

Spot on.

 

I'm a college student (even at my "advanced" age) and I'm astounded how alleged adults at my school are being suckered into this Pokémon Go thing. I hear all the rationalizations, such as it making people more sociable (nonsense, since all they do is stare at their glowing rectangles) and allowing people to get more exercise (what? people were prevented from walking before the advent of this silly game?) and I just shake my head.
