Someone finding a dead body in real life, and people getting hurt because looking down at phones because of app finding pokemon.

Its amazing how the Pokemon Go app looks so good when you think its just a game on a phone. Then poof... Here comes someone along playing the app on there phone, and all of a sudden they look away from there phone to find a dead body where a water pokemon is on the phone. Its not just a pokemon game, its a metal detector. Oh My!

Okay, let's just touch on the good that's coming from this:

  • It has saved lives. The last I heard being that a woman found a boy who had collapsed in the heat; doctors expect the boy to make a full recovery due to the woman's quick action of calling 911 because she already had her phone out.
  • It's helping people with severe social anxiety/depression get out and do something.
  • It's helping people get exercise.
  • Social events are forming with one big common interest.

Oh, and there's a Clefairy on Westboro's church that's named "LoveisLove" and it's pissing them off so how bad can that be?

Payin attention to your surroundings is what you should be doing, even without the game. That's not the game's fault. I've played the game and I'm still paying attention to my surroundings while playing but I'm not driving and playing though. I just walk around since I usually don't use apps on my phone while driving anyway

People do not need Pokemon Go to cross the street while looking at their phone and ignoring their surroundings/cars. It has been there since day 1. Blaming a game is just another distraction lol.

Yaaaaas @ the Westboro Baptist Church Clefairy.

In addition to what you listed, shelters have been using Pokemon Go to help animals get out: -http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/animal-shelter-uses-pokemon-go-craze-to-its-advantage/ -http://whnt.com/2016/07/17/this-animal-shelter-is-using-the-pokemon-go-craze-to-help-save-dogs/ -http://www.boredpanda.com/pokemon-go-dog-walking-animal-shelter-muncie-volunteering/

Someone finding a body while playing the game is no fault of the game. People not paying attention and trying to do things like cross highways while staring at their phones is no fault of the game. It's gotten people up and moving, people have been walking pets in the shelter while playing, and overall, it's actually had a much more positive impact than many people anticipated.

Pokemon Go is fine. It's the same as when texting on cellphones became common place. There was a proposed bill to ban cellphones from sidewalk because people kept walking into poles. Nothing came of it. People still have accidents because of texting, Pokemon Go is hardly to blame. It's just the distraction that is a cell phone. is right, it's become a sort of blessing is disguise for many people.
