Today at the football i saw a couple of teenagers looking intently into their mobile phones (nothing new there) but suddenly one of them shouts, "i got one, i got one"(think)
Apparently its a new video game on your phone called "POKEMON GO" and you go all over town looking foe these little guys.
my question is. WHY? Have you played it yet?

Haven't played it yet, but I'm going to take the kids out to try it out to see what it's all about!

Apparantly this game helped the police in South Yorshire, someone playing found something and reported it, this led to two burglars getting caught.

I have played Pokemon on the 3ds and it was fun but not tried Pokemon Go.

I see in the news that some kids nearly got trapped on a dangerous cliff chasing Pokémon go. I wonder if the makers of this game realize that some of the places where these virtual Pokemon?

It's worse when you read about adults putting themselves in danger while playing it. They must have got in the wrong queue the day common sense was handed out.

I have to agree Jaquaia. I mean how stupid do you have to be not to realize that it is dangerous even for a child to go down a sewer let a loan a adult. Yes on the local news a man got stuck actually going down a drain trying to catch pokemon.

Like everything, the fools will always be fools. But Si and the girls are addicted. Apparently there aren't any in the Jersey War Tunnels - who knew?

This is quite remarkable. It is about a 17 year old lad who is autistic and has not left the house for 5 years. H started playing pokemon go and he love it. He had anxiety issues and they have all but vanished.
I wonder if this could be the next step in rambling?
