Default Pokemon Go anyone?

My kids are full of this...

2 days old and it looks like being an absolute hit.

Augmented reality, we had a little purple thing sitting on our dining table at lunchtime

Looks fab and if you google it then there are some great stories out there.... watch out for dead bodies!!

I wasn't a pokemon fan but this game looks like fun and it at least is going to get people out and about.

I just downloaded this to my phone - had a charmander sitting on the coffee table.

Is it sad that I know the names of most of the original pokemon

You might find other things aside from pokemons if you're playing Pokemon go.

This might be a complete revolution for kids and sedentary habits, my kids were out walking around the neighbourhood TWO TIMES yesterday looking for pokemons or whatever they're called. In 96F. I am gobsmacked. No dead bodies thank god.

I think as an idea it's pretty cool. My son has it, I think. I only know Pokemon from watching the cartoons with my kids, but as mentioned if it's getting them up and about it's a good thing IMO.

This is very much a good side effect of the game and fair play to Nintendo for continuing to promote 'active' gaming like the Wii and this new one.

I have been hoping for the past twenty years that Pokemon is a hoax.

If I might borrow from your phraseology, they're all such ugly little §h!ts though.
