how pokemon go is a dangerous app and should be deleted

@paigea It does, although my uncle who geocaches seems to think that geocaching is more satisfying because there are real-world items being found and not just digital monsters. It can be played over WiFi... I've caught a few critters at work that way after my shifts. Not quite as satisfying because there are a limited number of critters that spawn in one place, so you don't catch as many as you might on mobile data. It takes a ton of data, though. I ended up blowing through about 5 GB of the 7 or 8 I have available on my tablet lines in just two days of playing. Apparently T-Mobile is launching a promotional offer that gives Pokemon GO players unlimited data for the Pokemon GO app as part of their T-Mobile Tuesdays promotions. I'm almost tempted to sign up so my kids can play the game when we're driving. It works out really well on stores' WiFi networks while we're shopping around town...

Yes, it sounds like a fun game. I say, it sounds like a ramped up version of geocaching. But, it's up to me not to be an idiot if I decide to play. Of course I won't be playing; it's not released here and I don't have data on my phone.

@yukimori That sounds like a good deal. People in Canada are playing it even though it is not released here. They know how to get around barriers like that. I don't. I will stick with geocaching for my fun. (only when I go with a friend who has the app, and the GPS and the data)

It's this game people are playing. You have to catch Pokemon.. Something about going around randomly and some places will tell you where there are and you collect them! I don't get the game itself but it's very hyped right now!! Here:

@infatuatedbby I read it but don't get it. so you have to catch these things and people are stopping to catch them on roads but there aren't actually pokemons on the roads????? so how do you catch them? where do they come from and who puts them wherever they are...I'm too old for this sh*t

@Mike197602 its a virtual reality game....the pokemons appear and can only be seen through your phone's camera...you will have to train your pokemon and catch new ones in new habitats...and then you could compete against other players from around the globe.. you should really try it!

@Mike197602 There isn't any need for people to get injured over this game. My girls do some pretty dumb teen stuff sometimes and even they have the sense to say "That jiggly puff is in a dangerous place" and keep moving til another one just pops up on their screen from a safer location. Some of the adults playing this game should be demoted to fetus.

sounds a big load of weirdness to me why would people even drive whilst looking at their phone so as to catch these non existent things that don't even get you money?? I just don't get it. Won't be long before someone gets shot over catching one of those bloody things

@cupkitties i agree with you

The new Pokemon GO app launched in the US and a few other countries this week. People have been doing some exceptionally stupid stuff while playing, such as stopping on the highway to catch Pokemon (and causing major accidents) and not paying attention to their surroundings and walking into traffic.

@rogan99 Are you asking me?

@rogan99 What makes you think that? As I've said, I could be your grandmother.

Tell that to the Ponyta I caught on the way home yesterday... it was smack in the middle of the junction of TWO highways.

wtf I need to read that link

@rogan99 link won't load for some reason.
