Pokemon Go

Right, can someone explain to me, in no more than two easy to understand sentences, t'i f u c k this is?

If such an explanation is nae possible, dinna worry aboot it, cos I'm nae that bothered.

Aye i have no clue either. I thought pokemon was some seizure inducing japanese cartoon the went out of fashion years ago.

My boys were playing this the other day. It's something to do with physically visiting places and collecting things via an app on your phone.

Im wondering who's going to be the first kid to get hit by a car* whilst concentrating on the game.


*an actual car.

Its basically Treasure Hunt, using yer phone as a guide instead of clues, and weird little creatures instead of treasure.

Your treasure can also have fights with other folks treasure.

I looked this up the day when I had to manoeuvre past squads of (adult) players at the beach.

Most concise I found was NSPCC site >> https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/pokemon-go-parents-guide/

Gaming in general bores me but pretty cool for kids seeing creatures in their surroundings like this>>

(although a carpark is nae really the safest for your kid to be wandering around glued to their phone...)

Christ I remember being thrilled by this>>

Its like that Tinder thing isn't it? It's an app you swipe to find monsters in your area.

Hahaha, well played.

This is a *****'s dream. You can set lures in the game that attract Pokemon which in turn will attract gamers to catch the Pokemon.

How long before someone sets lures in a basement and lures a heap of kids in like some modern day Pied Piper?
