If you're worried about this, just remember "Mario Kart Go!" is now a thing

Haha! Epic.

My five year old daughter has the same thing, but it lasts for half a week and it's called Tech-Free at Dad's house.

That just seems like common sense, but...

I'd be far more willing to give the game a shot if I knew it wouldn't destroy my datacap for the month.

Caught myself an Electabuzz on about the fifth time of actually opening the game up yesterday evening. I was just outside in the pub garden and it spawned right next to me

Considering my phone's GPS is shot to shit, I'm building up a decentish collection - and I've always been much more of a collector when it comes to Pokemon anyway, battling is used almost totally for evolving my guys.

A couple of providers (T-Mobile?) have offered a deal where the data you use for pokemon go doesn't count towards your data cap.

I use AT&T, I haven't noticed a large usage rate yet. Then again I'm normally around Wifi so there's that. XD

Oh for... bollocks man. Do you yell at neighborhood kids to get off your lawn?

Just because you think a certain way about something doesn't make it so.

Jesus. The pissing and moaning about this kind of thing crawls all over me.

No one is pissing and moaning. It's called an opinion and when you're our age, you'll do the same thing to those far younger than you.

This game is stupid. Period. And that's my opinion, to which I am perfectly entitled to. No one has to like it and I'm fine with that. But the reality is that of which I already spoke.

*my emphasis*

Who said you weren't? My opinion on your own is that both you and Maelstrom are pissing and moaning, and I found it annoying since it's the billionth time I've seen someone do it over a game. 

To be fair you aren't the only ones doing it, and like Steel said, every generation does it.
