Is this bug safe.

[cyberlocc]

Lol, I guess I just never really got into it all that much. I have no idea when it really came out. I know my little cousin went bananas for it and is now, 15 years later, currently roaming the city trying to complete his collection. Ha!

Try it man, for real!, let it excite you and carry you around and I promise you will have a blast .

But like I said above, Sitting and home and cacthing a few here and there, or getting in the car and driving around. That is not fun and not the point, the point is to put on some comfy kicks and start walking and let the game take you where it does . You will be amazed the stuff it can show you.

That is one of the main reasons I started. Sure I always had childhood aspirations of catching Pokemon in RL and this fulfills them. However the reason I started playing is, I run a business that is close to home (A few hundred feet).

I dont get out much, my wife is a stay at home mom, and she does the shopping ect. Occaisonaly we go out to eat or to the park the movies, ect. This has changed me, to an anti social person, I freak out and walmart now as I am not use to the crowds, which is a complete 180 of who I use to be, a social butterfly. Adulthood has ruined that fun living side of me.

On top of that, I put on some pounds in my adult life, that I want to lose. I always told my life lets exercise, lets go jogging, but it always seems to get put off for one reason or another. I bought a treadmill never used it. I had low motivation to just go out and do it. Now I do, I have been walking 5+ miles every single day this week.

And as I sit here right now, legs feeling like they are going to fall off, I am watching the clock and impatiently waiting to suffer the pain and get back out and go some more, and tonight go even further!

This game has seriously changed my life for the better.

I guess it doesn't have much for me. I don't have any problem getting out at all, I have a dog, I go for daily walks, some time hikes. I hang out with friends when I feel like it. I don't sit on my phone with my friends when I am with them. I am naturally a social person. I have no desire to be on my phone when I am walking, I desire to enjoy the space and the people around me. I can see how it'd be good for some people, just not for me.

I don't enjoy playing games with multiple people most of the time which is why mmorpgs don't work for me. When I play games I do it for the plot of the game and to get away from society to unwind.

Try the game guys, but dont try it close mindedly.

And dont do what alot of the people on my facebook that hate on it do/did. You cant launch the app, cacth a starter and sit there and burn an incense and say okay Im bored.

Put on a comfy pair of shoes, grab a friend or something. And "GO", Go chase down that rare pokemon, go visiti the pokestops and see the landmarks they are based on. Go and mingle and meet people along the way, make friends enjoy RL instead of being stuck at a stationary screen all day .

I guarantee if you go on a nice long walk playing for a few hours after work, you will quickly see the appeal. (unless you live in a rural area, they suck from what I hear, ATM)

I would but I don't have a smart phone.

Ya that hinders the ability lol.

Yep it sounds like you do/can do it without it . I use to be the same way, but life happens and children and stress ect. It gets hard to do those things at least it did for us with all on our plate .

I have no desire to be on my phone when I am walking

I guess that's why I don't really want to download it either. Lots of people drive all over their towns to stop at the gyms and what not. I don't want to waste the gas doing that nor do I have the time to. Walking is fine though, I go on walks all the time. I have a dog as well. But when I go on walks, I like to take in the view. Take in life. Take in nature. I don't like to be buried in my phone. I get on facebook here in there sure, doesn't everyone? & I get on here daily a few times to check out what's new and if I have notifications... But other than that I don't really spend my time buried in a screen. I don't use those apps like Kik, Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram. And that's because I don't need to tell my whole life story to the world. The ones who are important and need to know it are the ones that are in it. In most of my free time I go out and ride freestyle BMX so I too, have no problem getting out of the house. It has definitely motivated some though, that's for sure. I guess that's a good thing when you look at it that way.

life happens and children and stress

You know though, when I sit and think about it, having kids would definitely make this game fun. It would let you go on adventures with your kids while they have fun catching them and you could turn it into a little family thing. Let's go catch Pokemon with the kids. And you would all be getting exercise as a family as well. I don't currently have children, but I can surely imagine how fun it might be with them.

Just in the news a 15 year old kid was shot playing the game. He was crawling threw a single womens window at 1 am to get a rare pokemon. And a couple was arrested in a Toledo Ohio zoo that they broke into to get a pokemon. So please use common sense when you play.

Really....try getting some kool-aid too..I hope she has a mean dog waiting to bite....

No she shot him twice. It said he was trying to get a rare pokemon and it would not appear as he walked around the house.

Ouch...is that right....now he can go to a hospital n detention juvi court to look for another kind of pokemon

He didn't make it.

Wow,did the woman walk away free for defending her home or she is waiting for court appearance?

I don't know. I can't even remember what state it happened in. I guess it depends on the state that is happened in on what happens to her. In Wisconsin it would be considered self defense. She did call the police first saying someone was trying to get into her house.

I agree,she can let them know its a home invasion n self defense,but that kid got the worst jus for playing with the pokemon

I have no idea what that kid was thinking. Even if that women wasn't home I believe he was still committing a felony. I feel bad for the women to having to shot him, I don't blame her though the last thing you think of when someone is coming in your window in the night is a pokemon game. You usually think murderer and rapist.

A lot of people are being stupid while playing that game. I seen a digital sign today on the interstate that says "Drive now catch pokemon latter."

Don't think the hame is available in Canada yet.
Not sure if I would try it or not.
