I get that people don't want strangers running around their yards, but the rest of that sign is ridiculous.

People should be respectful of someone else's yard. You don't need to get on th le lawn to tap the pokemon.

Should be able to restrict the Pokemon you can see to a certain area. I couldn't just show up on anyone's farm and expect to kill a deer just because I seen one on the farm.

People just need to follow the law. Personal property and focus on traffic.

They should have a version called Digimon Stop! Where the app uses your phone number to have Digimon randomly call you throughout the day and night depending on your location and time of day. You cant miss the call or you'll miss catching the digimon. The people playing Digimon characters would be some call center people from India.
"Hello can I offer you, I mean, I am digimon would you like to catch?" etc. Would be a huge hit. Do you STOP for Digimon or do you GO for Pokémon? The choice is in your hands! |

I was way more into Digimon than I was Pokemon as a kid.

Caught a few Pokemans at work... work is also a Pokemon Gym, but I haven't leveled up enough to compete yet....
Haven't really gone "walking out of my way" to "hunt" Pokemans..... |

I've not played it, nor do I have any interest in playing it. I loved the original Game Boy games back in the day, but haven't really played any video games/mobile games or whatever for a good six or seven years.
The problem with this game is that people, as always, cannot be trusted to not do stupid things or go to stupid lengths. I wouldn't want people walking all over my yard over a fucking video game, but you know that countless players couldn't care less about other people's property if it meant catching Dugtrio. It's only a matter of time (if not already) that there really will be widespread violence and ridiculous chaos over these things. People just cannot be trusted. And as for people that are defending this game, whilst I do understand and agree that it is great that it gets people outside the house and "socializing with members of the community"... this ultimately means fuck all because this is no different than your typical socializing today. You go out the house, everyone's staring at their fucking phones. Fucking people. |

Ultimately I guess people playing this aren't doing me any harm and I couldn't give a shit. Just don't expect any sympathy if you crash your car playing it, or walk off a cliff, or get assaulted by someone for trespassing on their property.

Really, this is probably more to do with my issues with modern technology and how disconnected people have become. Enjoy your Pikachu, this fad will soon fade out. |

My son and I found a spot where 7-8 Pokestops are located within walking distance and by a creek. We have done this routine 4 times in the last week. Going outside and interacting with people isn't my cup of tea, but everyone I've encountered has been friendly and mindful of each other when it comes to safety.

Well, no shit. I'm not walking around in fucking January here. Brrrrrrrrrr!
It all really depends on how the game itself works out when Battles are implemented. Also socializing and trading will also be another stage. It could come back to popularity in Spring time. It'll be done by Halloween at the latest in colder places. |

Originally when this first came out, I assumed it was like some kinda real-world-based game where, for example players A and B both have a pokemon pop up on their screen, player A catches it, and player B therefore has missed out. So in a way every app is "connected". I was dreading thinking this is gonna legit lead to people stabbing others to prevent them getting certain pokemon etc.
I'm glad that's not the case, but hopefully it'll never evolve to that point. |

The Great Pokemon Migration of 2016. Everyone goes to Mexico to play during winter, meanwhile Trump builds a wall and locks them out of America.

A bunch of people staring down at their phones.
Take out Pokemon Go, and that picture still represents what "socializing" is today. |

But unlike Facebook, Twitter, and all that you need to actually speak to someone about what you have going on. Sure they are using their phones but they are outside next to each other. I am sure there is verbal communication going on.
