Darwinism at its finest.

Either not long or they will get bored with the game or their will be as many accidents as there are with people gazing at their phone or other tech.

People said the same about walkmans and mobiles and loads of things. Folk either have the sense to prioritise safety or they don't and risk getting injured or killed.

Many, many moons ago, as a young gaffer in Newcastle, I would wander around the streets with my eyes and attention fully occupied with which chip to pick up next from a 6d order of them wrapped in a vinegar and salt sogged page from the Stoke Sentinel...Nothing changes:)

For thefirst time ever I am with jno

Well I Found it extremely sad to see on a television news item young couple pushing a pram and both playing Pokemon. But then I find it very sad to see people walking along talking on their mobile phones and totally unaware of the world around them.

Nellie, all part of the Me Me generation I am afraid.

NellieMay, I do hope you got out of their way, they seem to occupy the pavements totally, I'd hate to think you offended them!

One of the first worries mentioned about this game was the potential for grooming of the young by the unscrupulous.


I didn't hear the whole report so can't go into detail.

[Old_Geezer]

Interesting article just read on teletext. Group of idiots got lost down the Box Mines playing this game !

[waterboatman]

What an idiotic piece of pure stupidity.

[NellieMay]

Agreed Jordy. I am old, but not too set in my ways, but am pleased my children were children before all this took over. Heard on the TV today some bloke spouting that this game was encouraging kids to talk to each other. What the........?
