One word: stupid.

But, it did lead to the discovery of dead bodies. One in a Wyoming river and another very recently in San Diego park.

It's made AR synonymous with itself. It's gotten people to get out of their homes and walk around. Business opportunities are springing up all over as a result of its release. Nintendo is printing money with it.

What's not to like?

It has also led to the creation of dead bodies in a few cases.

While cleverly designed, it is as shallow as it can possibly be.

It's a killer. Literally, it's like a plague! A pandemic! Picking off the surplus population one by one!

I don't have a phone so I don't really know. It has people out and about, which seems healthy to me.

Pokémon isn't really my thing anyway - haven't touched it for 14 years.

That reminds me, id should make a Doom AR game where you blast demons in real-life settings, with either the classic FPS action or like the RPG games.

I've never been into Pokemon but I will check out Pokemon Go when it's released in my country. I want to see what all the fuss is about. I'm very suprised to see so many grownups being into it, as I thought Pokemon was only for small kids.

Pokemon is over 20 years old, why wouldn't adults be into it? It was introduced while they were kids.
