I'll Tell You My Opinion

I don't get why people have such a problem with Pokemon Go... How is it stupid? I mean if you think all games are stupid then fine, but Pokemon Go itself is a fantastic idea. A game you have to play; outside, walking around, exploring your neighborhood and city/town.

I personally don't love video games so I wasn't into it when it came out, but the more good reviews I got from my friends the more I wanted to give it a try. So I went for a walk... And tried out the game... And usually when I go out alone I'm completely a nervous wreck, because of my social anxiety and shame issues, but the app gives me something to focus on while I'm walking around, instead of focusing on everyone else around me. For that reason, I love it. It gives me a reason to go outside and get exercise, which I've been trying to do for almost a year now, and lessens my anxiety so I can enjoy myself and stay out longer.

Why do people have to hate on literally everything?

Why are you guys blaming a game for people's bad choices? Whenever I cross a road I put my phone away. You don't have to stare at your phone the game notifies you when a Pokemon is close. I always stop and get out of the way to catch a Pokemon, and I never trespass. I also wouldn't play while driving. That's like blaming spoons for fat people... Or blaming pencils for people's grammatical errors. No. It's not the games fault, the game is great and a superb idea, people are stupid. Know the difference.
