PCM about pokemon GO

Well I can say this is the first time I've ever felt the desire for a smartphone.

Is it bad that I also have this game and now know all the pokestops and gyms along my route? You know, so I can expect the unexpected from people playing the game.

Umm, yes.

I never had the slightest interest in pokemon but this game is good in that it does get kids (and adults?) outside to exercise. Bad that those people will probably be stumbling around like zombies.

Umm, yes.

No it's not. I'm looking at data plans right now.

Armed robbers used Pokemon Go to target victims

They are being lured to one spot and robbed at gun point

I saw that story but it may have been a hoax. There was doubt about whether the game was used as a lure.

That sounds more like the robbers waited to ambush at a known pokemon spot. An earlier report I saw said the robbers hacked or planted that spot into the game to lure victims but it doesn't sound like that is what really happened.

Yes but there's going to be one that will like that idea

I complain about walking up to people's houses for $52 an hour. What does this game pay?

 

[Indecisi0n]

My game had me entering mostly men's locker rooms and bathroom stalls.

The river park I kayak at has like 20 pokestops in it and is usually not very busy even on weekends, yesterday it was full of people staring at their phones.

 

[rod]

Can we get them to follow each other off a cliff?

 

[Rack em]

I'm sure there will be tons of pokemon at the bottom

I caught one on my way back to my package truck but I made sure no one was around to see me walk around looking like a doofus in my browns.

This was on the NBC Nightly news this evening. There have been numerous injuries and even a death attributed to the game. The person who died was so focused on their game that they failed to see the hill that they rolled down and then fell face first in to the water.
