Pokemon Craze

[joeluke]

Saw this new Pokeman craze on the local news tonight - and there were actually (what seemed) intelligent adults playing it in a town centre during their dinner break

Some people really need to get a life

I agree, somewhat. My son is a 20-something computer engineer, and has rediscovered the enthusiasm he had for Pokemon when he was 11.
If I hear the words Pikachu or Jigglypuff again soon, I think I might actually scream.

I was trolled on Facebook after making a similar post to yours.

Even made the News topic.

They did the same on my local TV news, but it looked a bit staged to me, like a lot of news on the box theses days.

I've read about this over recent days but I have no idea what it is. Therefore I can only conclude that I'm not missing much.

I was thinking of giving it a go, mainly to get exercise.
So it seems I need to get a life .... But then again it's better than spending your time in the virtual world of forums like this. At least it gets you out .

Some very dodgy organisations using this as a lure to attract children and young adults :-(

I think it's funny. My kids were Pokemon crazy when they were little and now they can go and catch them :-)

One positive...it's getting people out and about. At least this isn't a 'sit on your aris' craze.

there's a monster in my bathroom ...!!!..oh no ..only oh..bit worse the wear !!

I am interested in the idea behind it but not actually playing it. How about something like a treasure hunt that works in a similar way to the game...lots of possibilities.
