Are They Pokemon Players?

[sandyRoe]

A few days ago I saw three adults standing at a spot beside the River Lagan working intently at their phones. Today there was a group of teenagers at the same place doing exactly the same.
A computer game, if that's what had them out, that brings players into the fresh air can only be a good thing.

[ummmm]

They're everywhere, walking round like zombies.

I'm not completely sure how the game works but one thing I don't like about it is when my son rushes out the house at gone midnight to catch one.

Yes they probably are, very sad pathetic adults with nothing on their lives. Just like those that spend all their spare time on their games machine.

[ummmm]

I've posted this before..

Dave - it seems to be mainly teenagers.

The adults were in their late 30s or early 40s.

My daughter's in her late 20s and she does it even managed to find a new boyfriend through it so I'm not complaining. I'm just determined not to download it myself!

I play it but I'm not obsessed with it like a lot of people. I can walk home from work and pass multiple groups of older children and teenagers frantically yelling and getting all excited. While it's ok I don't see what all the hype is. Ok it's a good thing if you are getting out and about but there is NO need to be acting the way that people do. Think ummmm sums it up with the reference to Zombies to be honest

[ummmm]

Anyway, I don't see what sad about it. People are out walking for hours.

Yes I play pokemon Go and I'm 72. I'm too kind to let mine do battle so they just there in my Pokedex.

Oh and Dave, I've had a life that some can only dream of, I've been to places and done things which will make your hair curl. I don't need to get a life, I'm getting over the one I've lived!!!
