Have a bad feeling about this. It seems it is not just children but adults playing.

Re: Pokemon Dangerous Distraction

My lad plays it whilst in the car.
Whether he's going to work or the shop.










Thank God I'm driving.

Re: Pokemon Dangerous Distraction

I had never heard of this game until my usually very sensible daughter came here for a Full English Breakfast this morning! As l cooked it, she said, l am just going to see if there are any Pokemon in your garden. I looked at her confused! Holding her mobile phone and aiming it at the garden.. Oooh! she said, you've got a Pokemon and a rat, so l have to kill them!
I then looked at the screen and there was this weird thing jumping up and down on the screen!
I then looked up Pokemon Go via my newly restored internet. I was shocked to see this game is very dangerous and people have fallen off cliffs, walked into the road and been knocked down! There is also a worry that paedophiles will use the game to target children.

My post got blitzed in the aftermath, but so what, at least I got to type aftermath, and Fad in the original reply.

Re: Pokemon Dangerous Distraction

There is a strange picture of 2 of my grandchildren outside their house with a 'Pidgey' bird and a ball floating in the air. I fear that has something to do with this odd craze ,

Re: Pokemon Dangerous Distraction

I'm lost .... and I thought I was weird.

Re: Pokemon Dangerous Distraction

I went to the gym the other day, and the gym manager (of another gym) was in the car park - he said he was there to catch a Pokemon



Yep - that is Pokemon Go

Re: Pokemon Dangerous Distraction

It has become such a dangerous pastime that Queensland police have made several arrests in the interests of public safety.
