It's pretty exciting to see where this kind of game will go now, people will keep improving on this technology now. Could be so advanced in a few years time

If people would've played invizimals on the PSP like my kid did 3 years ago, this wouldn't be such a big deal.

www.forbes.com/sites/davidsturt/2016/07/16/what-pokemon-go-might-say-about-mankind-and-your-success-at-work/#157e7966a271What Pokémon Go Might Say About Mankind, And Your Success At Work -- It can hardly be described—a frenzy of tens of millions of downloads within the first few days. News outlets are scrounging to get the full story regarding the chaos. Children and adults are running wildly through the streets. Yes, it’s true. The so-called ‘pocket monsters’ of the 1990’s, named Pokémon, have seemingly escaped into the world and it’s our job to catch them all using GPS on our smart phone devices. If you haven’t heard the news yet, Pokémon Go, a new app that challenges users to navigate the areas around them and catch virtual Pokémon, is taking the world by storm. …our question is why? …and, what can we, the business world, learn from this? Hit rewind for a second to understand the roots of the Pokémon Go flurry today. In the early 1990’s, a video game designer named Satoshi Tajiri started wondering if there was a connection between his childhood hobby of collecting bugs and his career, which was imagining some of the craziest concepts in gaming. Tajiri told Time in 1999 that due to urbanization, bug-catching had become a rarity. “Kids play inside their homes now,” he said. “…when I was making games, something clicked and I decided to make a game with that concept.” Today’s Pokémon Go literally combines the virtual world with the real world—your street, your neighborhood, and a virtual character named Pikachu that pops out from behind the upcoming crosswalk post. Okay, so it’s really cool technology. But, why does it have such an impact on the human psyche? Why can we drive down the street and easily find so many people immersed in a smart phone app? Is it today’s version of hunting and gathering? Is it a cleavage point where we understand the draw to live, at least a portion of our lives, in a virtual world—free from all the horrific news we have since witnessed daily? And, can Pokémon Go teach us something about ourselves that could improve our lives—maybe even our work? Holding our questions up against research from the O.C. Tanner Institute, we discovered an interesting tie between the human urge to go, hunt, and capture what we’re searching to find—whether it’s virtual critters, or solutions to your current hurdles at work. In a world where most of our searching typically happens on Google, the concept of getting out into the world to find and capture something is again, intriguing. And, beside the fact that it’s providing a sedentary culture—where research has proven the dangers of sitting too long—with a reason to move.

Started with a Charmander. Caught a Squirtle in McDonalds on Friday as well, and have a few other Pokemon. Absolutely nothing at home so I can't play at night or on weekends. However, on my walk to work there's 10 PokeStops and my walk to lunch has another ten, so including there and back in both ways that's 40 Pokestops a day. After 1 day I had over 200 Pokeballs. Enjoying it right now, don't know if I'll still be playing in a few weeks. Also, its very annoying that the pedometer doesn't work when the app isn't open. there are so little near me its depressing Reading this is depressing-stop it all of you!

No. There will be no stopping. Some of us play a game. Like it or leave.

I don't like wrestling so I don't go into the wrestling thread. It's quite easy

Whether or not someone plays Pokemon Go, this type of game really feels like the future of gaming. Businesses can pay for "Pokestops" outside their stores (or even inside). There's a Pokestop in the Trader Joe's by my house. People are out walking in groups and talking to strangers, interacting. It tricks people into exercising. It tricks people into being social. It tricks people into supporting local businesses. It's genius.
