Any game that encourages you to use your phone while driving is a danger to EVERYONE.
I read where a marine ran in to a tree playing the game. Again... if ONE PERSON DIES because of a game it's not worth it. Nintendo should be held responsible IMHO. The game should SHUT OFF if the phone being used is going faster than 5 MPH for example.

Didn't see this post until it was quoted... but this is an absolutely NUTTY way to look at the world.
I'm pretty sure one person has died doing literally just about anything... Cooking, swimming, driving, walking, eating, sleeping, breathing...
Nintendo isn't even the company who made the game and you're demanding they be held responsible for someone's own stupidity just because they were playing a game that Nintendo didn't even make?
Do you even read what you write? lol
Are you aware of the phrase "Negligence Per Se?"

Something very different from pokemom

He's a kid. Give `em a pass...
My initial reaction when I heard about the game was that it was stupid. After a couple of weeks, I realized that this opinion really made no sense since I had never seen or played the game. I really had no idea what pokemon were either. I had heard of them, but never played any of the games or watched the shows. I decided I should try it before forming an opinion about it.
The first time I tried it, it crashed when I caught the first pokemon. I was like, yep, it is stupid. Then about a week later, I opened it as a joke to piss off one of the other engineers (who had likewise decided it was terrible without trying it). His reaction was hilarious. "Not you too! Ben was playing that stupid shit at the airport last week." Ben is our engineering manager. We had both messed with it enough to get to level 3.
Since then I have played a little bit more to get to level 5, so I can see what the gyms are. I am hoping that it is more like a game. I may go find one at lunch to see what it does.
Since I have played it a little, I notice way more people playing than I did before I played. They all seem to be having fun. I don't know if I would say it is fun, but I have been looking for an excuse to walk more, and this may help with that a little.
As was mentioned previously, the people with their heads buried in their phone while walking just don't really know what they are doing. It alerts you when something happens.
I think we (specifically those of us in our 40s who think we know what people should be doing with their time) tend form harsh opinions all the time based little or no facts. I did the same thing with Apple stuff until last year. I absolutely hated everything the company put out. I just didn't have a valid reason to. The only product of theirs that I had ever used was an Apple IIe 30 years ago, and I loved it. I thought the same thing that I see in this thread. Apple stuff is only for the sheep of the world. Well, I actually tried it (first an iPad), and I liked it. I now use apple stuff for phone, tablet, computer, and TV, and after close to a year, they have been my favorite tech devices that I have owned.
It is way more fun to try stuff than just assume that it is stupid. Even if it is stupid, it might be enjoyable. I find life to be more enjoyable in general when I try something before forming a negative opinion of it.
I did play it. And it's fucking stupid. And now, apparently, it's also broken and even more stupid (according to the article I posted above.)
GO AWAY, RETARDED GAME, GO AWAY

I'm so angry right now !!!!!!!!
I had to leave the house pick up a few things. I run my errand and I go back to my house. There are 4 police cars and 6 police officers in my home. The front door had been knocked off the hinges, stuff everywhere, and apparently they were looking for something. So I'm stuck outside with this police officer and they are inside searching through everything, even our laundry. They checked inside my closets under my mattress. They tore my things apart. So, as you can imagine, I'm getting upset, and I'm trying figure out what's going on.
I asked if they had a search warrant, and if I could see it. The cop in my bedroom yells, "Where did you hide it at? We know it's here! We are searching." Then I yell back, "If I had an idea of what you're looking for sir, maybe I could help!" He shoots me the "you wanna go to jail?" so I shut up and watch one of the other police officers look down at his phone. Then he shouts, "Guys Stop! Hold on. We're in the wrong house! The Pokémon is next door!"
If you fell for this, like I did, feel free to copy and paste. Don't take life too seriously, and enjoy your day!
