actualy i like the game it encourages people to move around which is great for everyone

[Oshino Shinobu]

Why, though? As far as I can see, it's encouraging people to get up and walk around.

Do you agree with Pokémon taking you anywhere, bad things can happen. Vote Now!

Nope. It's getting people active and outside. Just apply a healthy dose of common sense and you'll be fine.

[Sauron]

No, bad things happen if you're retarded and don't look where you're going. I have 0 interest for pokemon but banning it is pointless. Might as well ban bikes while you're at it...

[manikyath]

it shouldnt be banned, the idiots that do stupid things with the game should be banned.

 

just like shooters shouldnt be banned because some idiot grabbed a gun and shot a bunch of people because of what he learned in CS:GO.

[kaylexmorgana]

lol no. troll thread.

It's not Pokemon GO's fault that people don't know how to pay attention.  It is beneficial as it encourages walking around/being more active.  In a  sense it encourages natural selection...(I'm kidding that's a terrible thing to say) However I do believe that in a couple months it will die down.  

[Tobleh]

Some of my most inactive friends have begun going on multi-mile walks hunting for pokemon, pokemon go is a blessing and I hope it sticks around for a long time.

if natural selection applied to modern society that guy in college spooning out a tub of mayo wouldnt be alive.

My wife almost got hit by a car with that app. She found a legendary, and I told her that "Next time you find one cross the street first then you can look down at your phone"

 

Should it get ban? Nope.

 

Also a police stopped us yesterday and told us to be careful because there was a group of people going around, and stealing cell phones.

if anything this encourages kids  to go outside and explore rather than stay at home. its an excellent game. well done nintendo.

[WkdPaul]

Would love to hear why people think it should be banned...

 

It's like anything and everything, somewhere, someone is gonna abuse and/or misuse it. This just happen to be the most recent one.

[mathmeister]

Almost got hit my a car and my girlfriend broke her phone. This game has already changed the way I live my life. I dedicate four hours to GO every day and it's an amazing way to spend my summer. It's even encouraging me to go to places like NYC and Princeton to walk around and find gyms. 100% DO NOT ban.

[Straudz]

Pokemon go is gay.

[wuliwawa]

I heard a rumor saying that pokemon go is banned at the airport , is that true ?

[ARikozuM]

Pokemon GO should be banned since people are dying from walking around! Exercise is unhealthy for us PC troglodytes! Please Game Freak! Let us die from too much Mountain Dew and Doritos!

 

Seriously, though. The game has a start screen that says to watch your surroundings. If you get hurt for walking around and not paying attention, unfortunate but it was your fault. If you get hit by someone driving and GO'ing, that should be banned.

Doing anything other than navigation and talking on a cell phone is already banned in my state, but I still see people texting, facebooking, tweeting, snapchat-ing... pokemon go has just brought this to attention because it's new.

 

Dumb people are going to do dumb things. Nothing you can do about it

[Bhav]

I voted yes. Because I despise humanity.

 

No wait, then I should've voted yes as this game can actually get people killed ....

 

I confuse myself, misanthropy is hard to deal deal with.

[imreloadin]

I think if people hurt themselves or get killed due to playing it and their own stupidity it's just nature culling the herd....

[TheLaserCucumber]

In my City, a entire road was closed, only for pokemon...
