Pokémon Go


Pokémon Go! Yes, I'm playing, and yes I'm a fan. The Daughter plays, and she got me started on this. I think it's great fun. I've met neighbors I've never seen before, and it's definitely increasing the amount of time I spend walking every day.

I'm at level 11 but have no current interest in joining a team. I'm going to see how far I get on my own.

    1. I like it. It gets people out and active and meeting each other. It's also child-friendly. It's building real communities in some places :)

  2. There's been warnings here that the police will arrest anyone who is trespassing due to this new game. I saw on tv how an entire family was someplace downtown they shouldn't have been. Thankfully they were only warned, but could have spent the night in jail if they had been surly. They made the nightly local news, though and the policeman explaining what they had done wrong. I still don't understand the game or the problem. probably because I don't have a device of any sort.

    1. It's like the photography scavenger hunt. You have to get them without trespassing or otherwise breaking the law.

  3. I have vaguely heard of this name popping up again, but have no idea what this is about. I thought it was just some kind of video game again. Obviously not.

    1. It's a type of video game, but it's played on a smart phone out in the real world. Besides catching them "in the wild", you can hatch eggs to get Pokemon. It's really increasing the number of people outside walking to get their 2K, 5K, or 10K eggs hatched.

    2. I'll have to google it. Not that I can participate, but just so I know. ;)

    3. There's a lot of activity locally. There was an event at one of our larger city parks yesterday, and there's a much larger event at a different park today. I'm not taking part in the big events or joining teams or anything. I'm just walking and playing the game while I'm at places I would go to anyway. It has increased the distances I walk lol

    1. I'm enjoying it even without the team aspect. And I'm amazed at how motivational hatching those eggs is lol. I'm walking a lot more
