"Pokémon Go is playing out across the globe in vignettes: In Sydney, an impromptu gathering Saturday afternoon blossomed into 2,000 Pokémon hunters who marched in procession like leaf-cutter ants. Half the world away, long after last call had come and gone, the millennials were still strolling through parks in the nation’s capital looking for rare Pokémon. According to a 40-year-old Pokémon Go player on Reddit, a 3 a.m. nocturnal hunt joined by two “twentysomething black dudes” aroused police suspicions that allegedly abated only when the officer downloaded the game himself."

(I may have found an explanation for the trespassers...)

10 bucks says that while the people are playing it, data is being collected

kinda like when google maps first started using the cars to take pictures of all the roads, instead now you have free idiots do the leg work

My son used to play this about 15, years ago, I still have all his Cards and Pokemon Toys that were given out in those days at Burger King and other fast-food joints, Like the Golden Pokey Balls painted in Gold with Gold cards inside. I'm hoping to give this stuff to a grandchild one day if I get one.
