FabSwingers.com forum: why are you playing Pokemon go?

So many I have met have no idea about the game. I guess they just play it because others are.

Now I can't bring myself phone out because I don't want to asked again if I'm looking for pokemon.

I have seen lots of people walking like zombies on the street to look something that's not lost.

So why are you playing Pokemon go?

Lots of reasons

1. It's fun.

2. It's a harmless bit of nostalgia for a lot of people my age.

3. It's fun!!!

4. It's becoming a great way for people to get out and about, it's encouraging people to go outside and walk around.

Given we now live in a time where the current generation will be the first to earn less than the one that came before, we live in a society where young people are more likely than any other group in society to be living in poverty, where salary for those in the 20-30 age bracket still hasn't recovered to pre-recession levels, not to mention the current political situation and global security issues... Is it any wonder people want to hark back to a time when the toughest thing you had to deal with was trying to catch an imaginary monster?!

I don't get it!! Took me 40 minutes this morning to walk the kids to school as they were looking for bloody pokey things !!! (15 min walk usually)

What is the aim of it, do the same pokey things appear to everyone? So if I caught one then the person next to me couldn't catch that one because I have?

My son tried to explain but I switched off when he started talking about them spawning and reappearing .... Yikes

Personally,I think there is a conspiracy at work here,,,,some Government dept asked the question 'what percentage of the population are gullible,easily led t**ts?',,,then they decided that this game was easier,cheaper and more accurate than conducting a survey.

'They' are watching you as you play.

Im playing because its my childhood. I collected cards, played the games and watched the cartoon.

Im now an adult who works and has adult hobbies.

If i want to run around the streets looking for pokemon to relive youth or to literally just have fun. Then i will.

I vaguely remember the Pokemon thing from when my kids were little.

I discouraged them from taking part and encouraged them into other pursuits.

I didn't think video games would enhance their childhood.

It seems to have worked for them.

But it gets people outside. It gets people off there sofa in pursuit of something in the real world, and the game itself could be fun. And they get to catch stuff. Sounds a little bit like dogging

Autistic people are often very intelligent, Pokemon is clearly very important to your son, which is good. Get your point about not wanting to go Cath them yourself though. XXX

In your opinion maybe,however everything is about the way you say it isn't it. I don't appreciate her sarcastic comment,which she has a habit of doing with me hence the reason we blocked each other.

I can totally understand that.

My daughter had a serious love for Moshi Monsters when she was younger. I heard everything there was to know about them 24/7. I could have taken it as my Mastermind specialist subject.

I played the red/blue/yellow, gold/silver/crystal, Saphire/Ruby/Emerald, diamond/pearl generations and looked at black/white but couldn't get into it!

If Pokemon go had the 700+ Pokemon which are now available I think it would have flipped however it's fun having the nostalgia of catching the original 150

"I've no intention of playing it and I'm fed up of people knocking on my door wanting to come in and catch them my house appears to be a Pokemon hot spot FFS

Oh my god seriously?!

Judge "and why did you break into that house"

Defendant "cus I was trying to catch a Pokemon init"

What controls where these things appear? Pvt property? Middle of the M6? Inside a naval base? At a popular dogging spot?"

In Jewish holocaust museums apparently. Bad form. Big stink about it the other day...

"Children playing it is one thing,but adults...?!

You obviously didn't see the piece on the one show read about how it helps people with anxiety to get out and about in the telegraph then?

I think adults do it more than kids as they did it when they were kids so it's a natural progression

I clearly didn't Miss Knowitall...

Only trying to help...

Only I see there is no helping some people

I don't need your help thankyou,other's yes,but not your's.

I don't see the need for the above comment, bit rude really x

Her comment didn't read as sarcastic to me.

Again maybe not to you no,but she was being to me trust me..."

Well it proves you know nothing about anything doesn't it... I was trying to be helpful as I know sarcasm doesn't work on here..,

Live and let live I say..

life is too short for pettiness

"Why can't adults play games? I love my Angry birds app and Facebook games. Better than playing bingo."

It's a shame isn't it. I'd bet everyone who looks down on this has a hobby which is similarly silly when viewed in the abstract. Watching men kick a lump of leather towards a net, for example.

"I work and in my mid 30s.

I have a life and can't relate.

Yet you're named after a comic book character. Very 'grown up' indeed

Pot, kettle, (Castle) Black

You know nothing

I'm allowed to do that because I'm one of those 'immature' 'no lifers' that plays Pokemon Go

I'm a massive geek, I teach videogame art and work in the videogames industry as a freelance artist.

I play Pokémon go because it gives me a purpose to go for a walk rather than just idly walking and I get to live the things I imagined 18 years ago when Pokémon 1st came out, plus the fact its given me a reason to talk to that really sexy woman sat at the pokestop trying to catch a pikachu

"Lots of reasons

1. It's fun.

2. It's a harmless bit of nostalgia for a lot of people my age.

3. It's fun!!!

4. It's becoming a great way for people to get out and about, it's encouraging people to go outside and walk around.

Agreed but it's traditional that us old 'uns decry anything young people do

Muttermutterbloody old folks mutter mutter!

you young'uns you don't know you're born all we had to play with was a pigs bladder on a stick.

You had a stick to wow posh

Yes we also had a rare breed pigs bladder

Do you think now would be a good time to sell the original Japanese pokemon cards we have?

The only cards worth any money are first editions that have been kept in a protective sleeve their entire life.

Grade 9 and above are worth a fortune!

Probably wait a bit longer and allow more people to get really into it. Then you could make a fair amount of money

I'll keep an eye on eBay I think. We have quite a few pokemon figures that my brother sent over too.

"It was a part of my childhood

Though - and this is the biggest part of it - I have moderate depression/anxiety issues. If I have something to encourage me to get outside, what's the harm in that?"

This for me, it helps distract me when I go out and so gives me a break from what is happening in my head

I grew up with Pokemon in all forms - it's fun, and gets me going outside to more places than work or the gym. For example, nobody ever told me there was a ruined castle in Reading. But Pokemon go told me
