I didn't learn about this game until a couple of days ago. Now, all I see in my neighborhood are people with their phones out trying to catch these little buggers.

Until they close the gap on that major Google permission debacle, I would encourage people to stay away. Of course, I would encourage people to stay away from it anyway. There are far more entertaining and interesting things to be enjoyed outside.

I hear you. I haven't downloaded the game yet. I'd rather look at *actual* animals, but that's just me ;)
On the other hand, I'm glad that people who wouldn't otherwise be walking great distances every day now have a reason to, if only for a video game. Hopefully it fosters an appreciation for the outdoors. (Man, I sound old!)
It looks like they've pushed out a fix for the security stuff, if anyone is still interested:

I had not thought of that Glen. I agree that if it makes people walk more and hopefully leads to more outdoor activity, then why not?
PS - Thanks for the security update. I figured that would be forthcoming soon.

Yeah, it's not ideal... but it's better than sitting on the couch glued to the phone.
I wish I could take credit for the thought, but I'd heard it elsewhere.

1. Nintendo did in 24 hours what the White House hasn't been able to do in years.
2. Once outside, the law of unintended consequences has reared its ugly head. The walking into things, driving cars into trees, basically ignoring the world around you, cops saying, "PokemonGo? Yeah...might want to be careful out there" as they heard a bunch of drunk 20-somethings running around town reliving their youth.
3. I don't have a three even though their should be a three according to sources who say when you make a list it should have three items in it minimum.

Just saw that. Someone called it the "Gene Pool Cleaning App". Some say it's appropriate...
