Anyone out there play Pokemon GO yet? If not, I am sure you probably have some friends or family that do?
What are your thoughts about this, latest "craze" if you will?
Personally, as a young kid, I was quite obsessed with Pokemon. When I first heard about this whole thing coming out, or that it was to come out, a few months back, I didn't think much of it. Now, though, that everyone on facebook and all that, is obsessing about it.. It makes me want to play it. The problem? I can't play it yet, unless - I get a new phone, since I have a Blackberry (yes, unfortunately haha).

Ahh, fair enough :) Yes, well Pokemon GO sounds pretty cool.. I don't know everthing about it or even THAT much about it.. Mostly just some things I have heard and what I large chunk of my friends on facebook post on there. It looks like a lot of fun. And sounds like it would be good exercise running/walking/biking around trying to find all those pokemon, type deal. Sounds like some people are a bit crazy though, the ones that get up at like 3 or 4am to go get Pokemon, haha.. Oh my!

Haha, awesome! :) Yeah, that's great, I hear a lot of people are getting very good exercise from this! But I'm definitely jealous, if I had the right type of phone, I would be all over this game, but I am stuck with my darn Blackberry! I do have an iPad though, but for some reason I haven't been able to figure it out properly. Oh well :P

Sorry I don't understand what you're trying to say.. Do you mean that the fad/trend/craze or lets just call it a "game" to make it simpler.. That it will die out? I thought you might have been saying something else, but, sometimes my brain doesn't compute or something haha. If there is infact something else you meant by that, then please do explain if you don't mind :)

Ahh I am a bit jealous haha. But fair enough! Truthfully, I am starting to think that if I were to get it I would give up on it after a day or a few days anyways. Plus I am starting school in September so I don't think I would have much time for it then too!

Heard about it and seen a lot about it in my Facebook feed. Do I play it? Nope. Was never that big into Pokemon as a kid.

Yes, same here. I have been reading about it on my FB feed a lot but I finally just got it on my iPad the other day.. Have just been trying to figure it all out really, though! Fair enough, but there are also a ton of older people who weren't in to Pokemon as kids that seem to play it as well. Funny how things go sometimes.

I am glad that people are getting more active but I wish they would pay attention to where they are at and where they are going. The app is still really new and has only been out for about three weeks maybe a month and so many people have been hurting playing this game just because they aren't paying attention.
