lol , if it wasnt for my children i wouldnt have even considered playing , the excitement they show when a pokemon comes up is something i wouldnt trade for the world so ill continue to play when i can with them , but you wont catch me out at 3am i the morning bc thats when some of the good ones come out lol
I have 2 little girls myself, theyāre not so into Pokemon but I know the youngest would try go chasing them if she knew about it. That worries me a bit, that sheād go wandering off in search of some rare pokemon on her own!

Ingress might work on her device. Itās the original AR game by Niantic Labs. I havenāt played in ages, but if youāre in a more rural or suburban area, you might not find much on foot. In larger cities you can walk around and play, but where I am you pretty much have to drive to different areas where there are clusters of āportalsā.

I used to play it. Am familiar with it, infact i told my gf about it the day we were trying to do this. My area is fairly populated. Most restraunts, all churches, stores, parks, schools etc are portals along with all major landmarks.

Reinstalled ingress and found out somebody in my neighborhood has an antique stoplight on their mailbox- it is a portal, and it was unclaimed so we took a walk over there two streets over and got it 
there is a few others nearby but i am only L2, they were taken by L8/L7 so i cant takemā¦ Lol sucks being so low when most stuff around is all high. Oh well least i have my one portal
@fidalgo_vapes Or thereās people who are very active and out and about a lot, and would see this as ruining a good walk or run ā¦ different strokes and all that. Donāt be judgey

i dont think so , i guess anyone without respect could ruin someone elses time i tend to think positive so id hope if there was someone jogging or walking the GO player would step out of the way since they dont have to be in an exact spot
to catch the pokemon
it always seems that whenever there is a new craze eapecially for the younger crowds it seems to get picked apart in a negative outlook , for me itvwas something the fam could get out and do as a group that would interest the kids as well

Not to get all conspiracy on this, but last night on the news (local) they mentioned how the game is going rampant (viral), then mentioned that many people have noticed the permissions that they are allowing via the app are basically giving up everything from full google account access to federal eavesdropping.
Personally I took the app back off my phone, Iām not really sure though but it seemed to drain off the battery, at least I think it was that app, checking it out now, that and the phone kept freezing up yesterday. Thought I would give it a day or two and see.

That is true. Iām not against it, it just isnāt for me. I hope the kids who are more adventerous play safely though, thereās already stories about of muggers using the app to lure victims into secluded spots

There have been reports in my area the last few days of young girls being āstalkedā by creepy, slow-moving cars. I wonder how many are just PokĆ©mon Go players slow-rolling through the hoodā¦
