Pokemon Go! Are you playing it?

[distaff]

OK, Well this isn't going to be popular (and I haven't read thru the whole thread)...

Never heard of the damn thing until a week ago, and now ref.'s to it are everywhere!
I'm not sure the term strictly applies, but somehow the word, "transhumanism" comes to mind.

Just be careful.
Please.

My friend just *broke* her toe playing Pokemon Go. The doctor was actually oddly excited to be treating the ER's first 'Pokemon related injury'...that phrase is now in her medical chart. She is also oddly proud. She was trying to catch one and stepped off the curb wrong. Sigh.

As reddit says, natural selection... LOL.

Here is an article with a slightly take on it, apart from my specific concern, and also that of physical safety.
Worth a read.

Lol I just explained the game and concept to my pops who is completely against technology in general besides television haha he gets super worked up and it was really funny for me. Especially because I was explaining how my co-worker was wandering all around the office/yard/pit looking for Pokemon today hahah I'll never actually download it myself but I still think it's hilarious and fun. I just like it because it's getting everyone all riled up. Hopefully no one is seriously injured playing this but people need to be responsible for their actions.


Piedlover - SUCH a funny/weird story - this is what I'm talking about though people are just entertained by the thought of this game, brilliant idea whoever came up with it. Pokemon make a mass comeback, still cute and still addicting!

I'm guessing the later gens will come as expansions.

DARN YOU PEOPLE!! Lol, I couldn't help myself. Can't hurt to try it I said. Might get the family some exercise, I said. Where's the harm? I thought to myself. Well in less than 2 days I had to shut the whole family down as we had just about blown out our data plan. I have no clue how anyone has the data to play this game all that much. Burned a little over a gig and a half in that time. Granted, wife and kid were playing a bit obsessively, but since it got them moving, I wasn't gonna gripe. Now I'm being bombarded with requests for a new phone from the kid as hers is too old to be able to run the game (she was helping mom play and stealing my phone every chance she had), and the wife is talking about looking into more data, as if our phone bill isn't high enough. I guess I should have known..

I love the original gen crew, so I had to start playing a little. I'm a filthy casual, but it's fun!

This has been the story of my life so far with it, though.
