Specious argument: Playing Pokemon is good because it encourages some people to go outside.

What will motivate them to do so once the fad dies? Plus, regardless of their spending more time outdoors, their experience is limited to what's on their smartphone screens.

It will probably only long term benefit the people who play the game and end up talking to other players about stuff outside of the game. If all they talk about is Pokemon during their social gatherings, likely, they are going right back in the house once the trend dies.

This all Day. There were an article in Sweden about people with social inhibitions acctually now go out of their house and interact. That is a huge imo if it can serve as a tool to go outside. Same for people that sat in their couch before. I think its great. You cant judge the whole Pokémon go peeps on the few that do stupid shit, they probably did the same before Pokémon go.

I do use it when i walk the dogs, nothing hardcore, dont care about gyms... but ive seen senior peeps walking around catching Pokémons, i think that is great. At a park in my neighborhood, there were these two tweens chatting with an 80 something lady about what to do as she was trying to catch pokemons. They clearly didnt know eachother but they saw what she was doing and offered their help. Awwww

I think it's great! People who are whining about what about after the fad goes away... then there will be something else. Best believe game designers are on it. My son is a 3d game designer and there are all sorts of things coming down the road.

Who cares that they are out there talking about Pokemon...the point is they are out there interacting with people they wouldn't otherwise. Here they are having all sorts of get togethers with it.

I downloaded it this weekend and started it just to get a feel for it thinking my 10 year old would really like to capture the characters. I do much like you do....just pick up the ones when we are out walking dogs, or going somewhere I'll see what's wherever we go.

Haha! You're good. I couldn't do it, but that's probably 100 times better than Atlanta hot wives or whatever the latest garbage is.
