shoot and be safe Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Where are these poker things? Are they all in public spaces or are some on private property? Can't help but think there is underworld goings-on with this. How safe are these sites and why are adults "playing" this game for kids?

silver pigeon69 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 i think its a type of Geo-cache type game, where you follow clues/ gps co-ordinates to find Pokeman toys. But i could be completely wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I reckon the craze will rapidly burn out once a few thousand people have had their mobile phones snatched off them by gangs waiting at the more secluded sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 It is the Pokemon computer/trading card game but the animals you "collect" digitally are located in real life locations. There have already been instances where people playing this game have been injured walking off of cliff tops in the USA. Expect the lawsuits to start shortly. This could kill Nintendo...

ShootingEgg Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Someone found a dead body in America too..i honestly dont get it. The tech they are using is amazing and will one day become part of every day life but not for a computer game... Such a waste of a technology... If you want to see proper augmented reality then google image search anatomy 4D and print out either the heart or human body on A4 and then download on an ipad or tablet the anatomy 4D app. Run it and hold the camera over the printed sheet.

A lot of people my age played the original game boy games as kids. I must admit, I don't get it myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny thomas Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 It's all about getting kids outside and moving around my boy said that you need to walk so far to hatch eggs its done more to get kids moving and outside in the states than anything previously 10 out of 10 for that surely The walking off cliffs and such like I'm not sure this is true but you do get idiots doing stupid things "cus my tom tom said" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also being glued fo your phone walking around a city is not all that clever.. Wonder whwn the first RTA will happen involving someone trying to catch a thing...

bullet1747 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 If used in the correct way it could be good for every one It could get the kids and adults out walking round exercise better than sat in front off the tv or Ps3 and xbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_seagrave Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Lady Seagrave is obsessed with this thing. She and her chum went to Hyper Japan at Olympia yesterday to get (amongst other things) some team merch. LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxfordshooter Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I live near a big park and there are loads of people (as many adults as kids) walking around it just staring at their phones playing this game. They look like Pokemon zombies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
