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?

The people who are complaining about it do so for the reason that some people have taken the game overboard.
My friends neighbor and her aunt went out at 3 am to look for a Pokemon in their back yard it led them to the alley and 3 men pulled them into the alley the young girl was raped and her aunt severely beaten.
Common sense says don't go out at 3 am to look for Pokemon. This doesn't excuse the men who committed this vile act but why put ourselves in that position?
Don't do it while driving (I almost hit someone's car who was pulled over on the ON ramp of the expressway playing the game -husband and kids saw his phone screen) I and severs other cars almost were involved in a bad pile up with a semi coming up fast on the right lane.
I play the game myself but I am annoyed by those who take it over board.
