That said, the game even warns you to be aware of your surroundings. No one has the right to trespass.

Don't hate what you don't understand

This game is so freaking fun and genius. This is more successful than the NFL's Play 60 BS campaign. This is getting children out and about and out of dark rooms playing video games and being internet tough guys on social media. Brilliant. Maybe this new generation has a chance to not be so socially awkward and learn how to talk like literate people.

Yes, it's getting kids and people out of the house, but it's not exactly "exercise". The NFL's Play 60 is about playing, running, climbing, throwing... Not walking around pressing a button. I like the game, but be realistic.

You should be getting 10,000 steps a day, and half the kids playing this game weren't getting those steps in until now.

Getting steps is good, but you're not effectively exercising until you get your heart rate up. Don't get me wrong. I like the game. It gets people outside and moving around. But it doesn't have the same effect on the body as what a program like NFL's Play 60 goal does.

Look play 60 is all well and good but they wanted too much too fast. You have to get the kids out there first and that is hard in and of itself. Plus this does so much more. It promotes time with family. Before you'd have a mom ask the son if he wanted to freaking eat lunch with her in their own house but he wants to eat in his room playing CoD instead. Now they are already out and hotspots are diners, sandwich shops, etc. and you eat with your kid. Trust me it does more than just exercise.

Pressing a button? Now I know you haven't played this game. You swipe as well.

Shit walking is good compared to what they were doing before

That's what people are too stupid to understand.

Yes, doing better than you were is great until you learn that you're not doing as good as you could. Slowly walking and pausing does not get your heart rate up. It's not "effective" exercise. Someone was comparing this game as being better than the NFL's Play 60 program, the goal of which isn't just to get kids outside, it's to get them outside and healthy. I like the game. But I guess I'm just too stupid to believe the hype that this game is better for kids than programs designed to get kids healthy. It's a start, but it's not more effective.

What I've been saying to all the people claiming the game is gay, "If the game was about walking around finding strippers, and throwing ones at them, we'd be out playing right now."

I am not playing, but the hate I've heard for it is laughable. It represents a very exciting leap in AR games. Not to mention, why is it such a big deal if the people playing are enjoying it? It has absolutely no effect on you if you aren't playing.

Never owned a cell phone.

Don't care where this cell phone game tells you to go.

Hopefully, it's very congested traffic...
