Why?  Because I don't understand or have any knowledge as to why capturing a Pokemon is an adult thing to do and also a productive thing to do?

Tell me how Pokemon improves your mind or gives you insight or any kind of benefit.

If you are 33 right now then you were roughly 15 when it first started (assuming you saw it immediately when it came out), which may explain why you lacked much interest at the time, and for that matter today.

Its possible...  I don't remember when I saw it I was guessing. I figured it was on the time range of power rangers and such.   But I never got into it.

I wont knock anyone for playing a video game. as a game addict myself.  I just never got into pokemon at all.  (except for maybe ling ling on drawn together...)  lol


Play what makes you happy.  just don't do it while driving or walking into traffic.

Now I will caution a tale ive had to learn the hard way.  Be careful giving money to an app like this.   Once you start down that road its easy to spend more than you expect quickly...(as in this free app as already made 14 mil)

But outside that...  Go Forth and throw your balls around  (I think is what you guys capturing pokemon do)

This.

It's fun. I'll admit it has gotten me outside going for walks and such. But unless the updates address the lackluster battle and non existant trading aspects that made Pokémon such a great game to start, the game will likely lose a great deal of the audience.

A) Cool.

2) OK.

D) Also, cool.

Bottom line is, don't hate on people for doing their own thing and having a good time just because you choose to do your own thing and have a good time in a different way. It's silly.

Besides, it isn't a waste of time if you're enjoying yourself. Complaining about people enjoying themselves is a waste of time....unless, of course, you're enjoying yourself. But if this is the case, you're just an angry douche.

I have this app and I really hate how badly it has been put together in the bigger picture but I keep on playing for the time being.

This, I had my first encounter with the gamers last night, a large group of them were downtown.  At a traffic light, the Ford Dually in front of me about plastered three or four of them.....it was kinda eerie.  It reminded me of some sci-fi movie about mind control....people walking around and randomly stopping while staring endlessly into their phones.  To each his own, but it looked like zombies roaming the streets, oblivious to their surroundings.

People hate because they can't find joy in their own lives.

This is how the Zombie Apocalypse begins. Folks wandering around aimlessly.

Surely you spend time on hobbies or doing things you enjoy. Just because people enjoy doing something you dont enjoy doing, or something you dont understand, doesnt mean they dont have a life. 

OK...I'll rephrase it then...I'm not 10.

(emails, google drive, etc.) I think more was made of it than it really is though. Obviously it needs fixed, but the company who made this game is a skunk works project of Google themselves. If it was some new or indie developer I'd be a bit more worried, but I am not to concerned about some massive breach here. In reality most people's Gmail (and email in general) accounts are at risk of being hacked by bad people anyways because of weak passwords, yet most don't care.

Thanks for this. I didn't read the whole thing at work; as I assumed it was something folks were logging into from their work computers and therefore, didn't affect me. Here's a little more on the game:

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/on-pokemon-go-why-so-many-people-are-choosing-team-mystic-2016-07-13?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo

I'll most likely give it a go as it is free and would give the wife and I a reason to get out on Sundays, ect.... Plus my younger son plays it; maybe we could go "hunting"

A couple questions for the current players:

Do you have to stay active? For instance I would only play if I were a passenger (my wife always drives) and only if we were already going by a spot. Except for the above-mentioned Sunday outing.

Would it be safer/allowed to sign in from a junk gmail or yahoo? I would never sign in from one I actually used.

What's up with picking a team?I like game apps but am not a huge fan of "social" games.

Those that think they are to mature for this: Go suck an egg.

i got an electabuzz from my 10km egg that i hatched

yeah you have to be active

use whatever gmail you want (the whole intrusive thing at the beginning was patched)

the teams dont really mean much right now (when they introduce battling im sure it will mean something then) other than taking gyms from mystic and instinct (valor ftw). I also think when the legendary birds get released, moltres goes to valor, arcticuno goes to mystic, and zapdos goes to instinct
