Me too. The amount of people walking, on bikes and even driving to these spots is unreal. Many people are in big groups.

It's nice to see so many people out and about though.

I'm hoping it is a fad and fades away soon. I actually tried it and was not impressed at all. Very buggy and once I had that moment like "so this is what people are going crazy over?" I was done.

I didn't know what this nonsense was about until a coworker of mine was playing this nonsense during a meeting. It's one thing for kids to part take in this game but for grown adults to be looking out for pokeyman characters is flat out immature. My coworker happened to be single and almost 40. Just because you are an adult physically doesn't make you one mentally.

Let the kids play this game you lowlifes.

Same. I don't get the hype.


I do think it's great that the game is getting kids out of the house during the summer and they're all interacting. I don't understand grown "adults" playing. Don't you have responsibilities? How do you have the time to chase down these things?

Grown adults have been playing video games for a long time. This isn't any different. Ever sit on the train and notice how many grown adults are playing Candy Crush or some other app game? This is basically the same thing. Also, You can play the Pokemon game while on your way to and from places. Thats where I've noticed people playing it. Got off the subway after work and a few people whipped out their phones and "hunted" Pokemon on their walks back to their apartments. I noticed others doing it on their way to lunch. Even seen people waiting on line in a store "catch" one next to them.
