Hey kids, a mew walked into my van and it's shiny. Why don't you come inside and catch it for me?

Tonight on Americas Most Wanted a group of young adults are using Pokémon to rob unsuspecting trainers can the police catch them all? Find out in tonight's episode.

I know AMW hasn't been on tv in years but I just couldn't resist the puns. Laughing

I'm so sick of this trend. Everywhere I go, it's " Look what was in my bed the whole time! I caught an Eve, my life is complete! Jelly much??? Me and my coworkers are so bad!" Cripes. Even at my job, my chapters customers try to convince me to download the app. Takes all my restraint to maintain a fake smile. Enough.

It's totally unfortunate that Pokemon GO has fallen into the wrong hands of bad guys. Sad Here's hoping this, as well as other potential disasters like a chain highway traffic accident, don't become a common occurrence.

This could lead to worse things than robbery.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Wow, that sounds miserable... to be around you. Be an adult. It's popular, it will fade. I don't love the game myself as it doesn't have a lot of depth but I applaud Nintendo on exploring a new time of gaming experience and anything that brings people together is pretty cool in my book.

I've anticipated this game for so long but I did 't expect it to be that heavily popular.

I also find it hilarious. Yesterday, we went to the park, and in every corner you could see people standing holding their phones, obviously playing Pokemon Go, while the others are normally playing at the park, some playing basketball, some eating.

I don't know but I didn't expect to witness a more cringy atmosphere than ever. Hahaha for some reason, even though the game is cool, I see a lot more cons to it.

Edit: I keep editing because of wrong spellings, whatever.....wrong grammar, so be it.

Be an adult? So, keeping my opinions to myself in person, and smiling politely is childish?

Is Squirtle the mascot for this app or something?

Not all are playing PG - some of us are playing Ingress, the game which was 'borrowed' and rebranded as Pokemon Go. (Seriously, the Pokestops are all taken from the Ingress Portal database.) The last few days have been fun, I haven't had to be stealthy at all.

Actually, it's spelled Eevee. Sorry, I just had to. But like the other guy said, don't worry - it will go away in due time. At the same time, don't hate the game because it's popular and a lot of people are talking about it - because unless it's SAO (a mistake I realized too late, though that's MY OPINION), that probably means it's good and worth checking out. As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover.

The only word that comes to mind here is "grim"
