[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put me down as another Pokemon Go advocate!

I was also a non believer in the mystical powers of Pokemon Go... that is until I went "Pokehunting" with my kids too & I loved it right from the start.

It's so much fun, like a great big scavenger hunt however instead of searching for specific things, you never know what you'll get (which is the exciting part!).
It definitely has made us closer as a family, where as before my kids wanted to rip each other's hair out if they had to spend 5 minutes together... but now, they've actually teamed up to play & ate getting along better than they have since... well, ever actually, lol.

I also lost about 6 pounds from all of the walking (I'm jealous of all you others that have lost so much weight) but the best part is that you're not walking for exercise you're walking for fun, so it's much more pleasurable thang exercise.

We've now started a "Poke night" in our neighborhood & all of the neighborhood kids & their parents play on the team based on the team you choose when you start Pokemon Go & they wear a shirt that corresponds with their color  (Team Mystic/Blue,  Team Valor/Red & Team Instinct/Yellow).
We split up & "Pokehunt" for an hour or two (based on the weather & temperature) & whichever team catches the best at the end of the night wins.

I too was one of those people who thought it was silly watching all of these people running around playing, bit it wasn't until I actually played with my kids that I understood.
I shouldn't have knocked it until I tried it.

OP, this would be perfect for your son, as he won't have a clue he's even exercising.  He'll just simply think he's having fun.[/quote]

Truly a great idea, PP!
At 8 years old your son is the perfect age for Pokemon Go.[/quote]
