    I can't believe how many people people spent their time playing this stupid Pokemon go game. Even adults fall for it.

    It's really dumb.

    Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) made an appeal for people not to go of the dangerous routes on Velebit to seek for f*cking pokemons. Velebit is a big mountain range in Croatia where almost every summer tourists go of the allowed routes and get lost. There were even some cases of death by falling of the deadly cliffs. This Pokemon mania may increase the number of victims.

    Funny thing is when I type "HGSS" in wikipedia it leads me to some Pokemon game from 2009.

    Me.
    Just read a great meme on Facebook:
    The ones blaming older people for ruining their lives by voting for Brexit are the same generation currently chasing Pokemon.
    True though.

    I haven't run across one yet, but when I do I'm going to send them down some desert trail into some rocky rattlesnake draw.

    Proof that the atomic bombings had an unintended effect on the post-war creative psyche of Japan.

    Actually it's a very profitable business and it will make money as long as gullable people fall for it.

    It seems like utter uselessness to me, but is it really any different than paying money to see a movie, or playing a wargame? I don't think you even need to pay for it do you? I guess the game gets people to walk around a bit, which is probably better that what many games offer.

    My son got himself trapped on a beach a few days ago at 2am chasing Pokemon.
    He's 20 FFS.

    We have people paying other people to catch these (for 7 year old) characters...and one bloke whos sent his RC out to catch some...we've had car crashes as a result, and pedestrians hit...I think these sorts of electronic "fads" could be used soon in some sort of conspiracy...these games catch the sheep in large volumes, I would use this for bad...but that's just me.
    I expect a Dragon Ball Z version soon (12 year olds) im waiting for the "adult" version, whatever that will be.
