Pokemon Go! Are you playing it?

Well, for those who play...

My fire dog cat LOL. I'm going to my local hiking trail to add him to the red gym right now. TEAM VALOR!

I also have a gym inside my gated community that I have with a pinsir. :B It's a level 4 gym now and three other people added in their pokemon. Nobody will ever take it back. Eheheh.

The pokemon you find and it's combat power depends on your user level! We all started at the zubats and pidgeys. :P I played for 8 hours straight before catching a strong pinsir and a parasect.

I love that game and I don't even play. My son has aspbergers mixed with severe anxiety and depressions issues, he rarely even leaves his room much less going outside. Lately he has been asking me to go on walks with him so he can catch more pokemon. This is the most exercise he's gotten in years.

Man, all we have to talk about today is Pokemon? Can't we argue about the spider gene, tanks vs tubs, how much we all hate petco? Anything but Pokemon.

I play it all the time when I go out! I love it because I can see wildlife In the act! Last time I saw some Green Knight Anoles, It was so awesome!

When thunder rolls, remember Team Instinct!

Yeah! And seriously, it's a game that gets gamers throughout the nation exercising multiple kilometers per day. Starting an era of telling gamers to "go in more" instead of "go out more". Suddenly every kid becomes a jogger/walker. Pokemon gamers are noted for their shirt tans instead of their greasy hair and pale skin. Sounds good to me LOL.

Hey If my son can get out of that xbox more often then I'm happy! Haha :gj:

Ok, I give up. Here is my contribution to this thread. My other part, who is younger than me by quite a bit, was obsessively playing this game for a couple hours over the weekend and I got a little irritated with the waste of time. I said, "let's play this game for real". I pointed at a bin and said "there is your pokeball". your challenge is to get the "pokemon" out of the "ball", clean the "ball", then recapture the pokemon and put it back in the ball all without the pokemon biting you. This particular pokemon's name is Snow White (named by my daughter) and she is really the wicked queen.

I am proud to say that my version of pokemon was "exciting" and she managed to pull the task off without any blood being shed. Reality can be so much more entertaining and productive.

If you didn't grow up with Pokemon games, it's probably hard to understand. But just think of it as a videogame that includes exercise and going out to explore tourist attractions and local points of interest for 6 hours, instead of sitting on a couch playing videogame consoles for 6 hours. It's just as addictive as any old well-designed Pokemon game, except that we have to go outside. :rolleyes:
