This strange new Pokemon Go craze

...now I feel all awkward admitting exactly how many Pokemon I've caught between yesterday and today. It's actually kind of fun, although nothing like the Pokemon games for Nintendo consoles. It doesn't support trading at all from what I can tell, and the augmented reality stuff doesn't work on my tablet. They have real-world locations set up as the Pokestops, where you can apparently get more in-game items... beats me how they work, since the stupid thing doesn't come with a tutorial. That aspect of the game is actually pretty neat, because they have things like historical markers and points of interest like local artwork set up for the Pokestops, and a lot of them have fairly detailed information in the app. It doesn't really compare to the other Pokemon games very well, though. A lot of the staples of the franchise, like the ability to directly challenge a friend to battles, just aren't present in it.

It is definitely the hype right now! But I read tons of accidents like a man stopped in the middle of the road to catch Pokemon or something. Very dangerous.

I have not play geocaching before. I just knew about it and it sounds interesting to me. I have not heard about this Pokemon Go app as well, I wonder if we can play it here (while we are not in United States). It sounds like a kind of treasure hunt to me, and it sounds fun! Hope your daughter will enjoy playing it.

I have this app and i do play it but i dont used it alot. It consumes alot of the battery of the phone because you need to connect with wifi and gps. The concept is pretty, you go around the map finding pokemon and catching them. But sometimes i am too lazy to even try.

A lot of my friends play it and they are trying to get me to play it also.

My daughter has it and as far as I know, you go to various places and when she finds a pokemon, she takes a picture. However, Isee some have warned you about this game. If you are getting this for your daughter you need to make it very clear to ALWAYS be aware of her surroundings and to NEVER go anywhere she where feels uncomfortable. There have been many car accidents and muggings due to people playing this game, it can be dangerous if she is not paying attention. Also, a computer friend shared a link on how this app will be able to get into your e-mail and other sites. It has been a while since she posted the link, but if I see it, I will post the link here for you.

I have not as I havenot got the fancy phones or apps everyone thinks that everyone has. my son is into it though.

Oh yes, it's a craze here too... Hundreds of gamers are congregating at nights all glued to their mobiles at some parks which apparently an intersection of two Pokestops or something like that... Residents in the area are not too happy with the noise and mess they make though...
