They really do this?

I know I know, it's fun to be a prick and pick on people for playing a game, cause candy crush is so cool...
Anyways, pokemon started in the early 90s, got real popular in the late 90s, early 2000s. That shit was a BIG deal to us kids at the time. Sure we played outside. I had a friend that lived on a farm, and we'd explore the woods around his farm on our bicycles all the time. Ended up finding a bmx track out in the middle of the woods. To this day I ain't got a clue who owns that land. Had another friend I ended up building a dam with, made our own lake. We also dug down, built an underground room. Couldn't ever use it cause it was always flooded, but it existed none the less. We built a trebuchet, just cause. I played sports, raced moto, bmx, skated, and so on.

But you're out of your mind if you think I wasn't playing pokemon back in 2000. Road trip to see grandpa in Arkansas. Pokemon. Staying the night at a friend's house and it's "lights out". Pokemon. Daycare won't let us play outside cause it's not outside time. Pokemon.
So fuck yeah, us grown adults went a little crazy reliving our childhood. Some people are still playing, and to be fair its not a terrible game.
But don't act like you wouldn't go a little crazy if you had the oopportunity to play with your childhood memories, in a more modern/adult package. I'm 24, and just deleted the game a few months ago. I was pretty stoked to get a charzard. Even if now as an adult, I know he's not the best

Yep, see them all the time. Especially at night, eyes glued to phone driving around empty parking lots, getting out, walking around.

Zombies are real.

EDIT: I see them in their cars, at shops, on sidewalks, they don't eat brains either, just McDonalds and KFC, stuff like that.

Totally gay.

Regardless if its gay or not atleast its getting some of these fat fucks off the couch and walking. I remember the day it came out my daughter made me download it for her. So we went for a walk and i was blown away at the amount of people walking around. Since then its died off and i dont see that many people.

Agree. Gay.

Wait, this is real. I thought it was like wwf where all the crowd is paid to be there, because no one would actually be there, right? Im just kidding.
Different strokes for different folks.
We used to play king of the mountain on our roof with dozens of kids. We would fall or be thrown off all day sometimes. We were tough back then. Kids today might break a nail and hire a lawyer so apparently its not a good idea to play that hard these days. Hence Pokemon.

When I was a kid and couldn't go outside for whatever reason I just played doctor with the little girls.

I don't play Pokemon, but I do play Pokawoman when my wife's in the mood.

I don't understand the Pokémon thing, but then again I don't get why people collect several things, have certain hobbies, etc. The Pokémon thing sounds like just basically a variant of those geocaching folks who you occasionally hear about as best I can tell.

Lots of folks don't understand the draw of a crisp two stroke engine, either.

Different strokes.

It's one thing for children to do it ,it's completely dumb for adults to drive around in their car and find hidden fake creatures.
