I am up to level 9 thanks to a Pokestop at my office building. Still can't figure out the damn gym battles, though.

Already happened. Robbers in St. Louis suburb used the game to target victims.

Overblown. One incident. Don't be so paranoid.

I would not allow my kids to play that game.

Good luck with that. Your kids will be the ridiculed outliers. Life is full of risks. get over it and let your kids have a childhood.

Same. I caught 3 pokemon at my Dr appt this morning then spent 30 mins walking around hitting every PokeStop and catching pokemon around the dry cleaners.

9-year old downloaded it yesterday and wants me to go out with him looking for them.

I'd worry they'd lead the kid to a dangerous place like an offender house or something.

IF my DS Saw this he would want t go shopping with me. Last time he did he was 10

My DS 11 actually asked to go to the grocery store with me yesterday to catch Pokemon. He found 4 in the parking lot at Giant and 3 on the drive there!!

Um my kid is not playing but I am hahahaha

When I was leaving for work this morning my 14 year old was already awake, dressed, and ready to go. I haven't seen him up that early all summer.

I downloaded the game myself and played for about five minutes. I grew tired of it very quickly and don't get the appeal.

It is so nice to see my DS spending more time outside than ever. He and his friends get together either walking or on their bikes. I have seen lots of kids outside walking either on their own, or younger kids with their parents. I wonder how long this will last... DS has been playing it since the first day it was released last week. No sign of him tiring of it.
