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?

Not really, but I guess I will anyway since I don't have shit else to do right now. 1) you compared people who play videogames to mentally handicapped people. 2) and it's true you wouldn't want to give a mentally handicapped person a firearm but you can give them a cell phone and let them play Pokémon GO, their caregiver just needs to stay with them to make sure they don't get hurt. 3) giving gamers a need to go outside and get some exercise is an excellent idea. 4) people have been walking around with their noses in their phones since smart phones were available, nothing has changed
