There are some comments that pokemon Go can increase the amount of fat burned by encouraging people to go out for hunting pokemon. But some people think that go out to much can lead to get loss or car accident.
No matter what game you play, there are going to be stupid people that get hurt. Overall though this game has caused a huge spike in outdoor activity among younger adults and kids, it has increased outdoor socializing, has boosted a ton of sales for small businesses with the pokestops.. etc.. like the game or not, it's done good and hopefully with the right updates will do even better.
Don't think it's even up for debate. The number of serious issues that PokemonGo has actually called is crazy small. As others have the said, the pros outright the cons.
It sounds like a lot of fun but I don't play it myself. It was kind of amusing, I had some friends visit me from out of town and literally all three of them were on their phones catching Pokemon while we walking around downtown. My phone doesn't support the game so I'm not able to participate.
I have downloaded it yesterday, but sadly I keep on getting the GPS error. I think I need to have a faster and more stable internet connection to play the game, or I just need to get out so my GPS could be detected.
A week ago I posted about the GPS error which hinders me to enjoy the game. Later, I have leveled up to 5 and captured some interesting Pokemon. What's funny is that every afternoon, when my class is up, my students will be with me as we hunt together. 😀
