Emma told me some kid walked off a cliff "chasing" a Pokemon. I'm concerned about kids being out there playing this game. And to be honest, I'm even concerned about adults.
Oh, please - a skateboard, or a bicycle are more dangerous toys for kids, than Pokemon Go. I'd be more concerned about adults playing the game, because they drive, but then again - that's a problem with smart-phones and their dumb-owners in general, not only this one game (although it certainly isn't helping).
The main problem with Pokemon Go is that it's hugely popular and therefore makes for an ideal scapegoat for media, pandering to sh*tty parents. Just what video games have been for the past 30 years, or so. No worries - games like this will become more and more popular, the players more savvy and "street-smart" and the society will get over the issue, only to move on to the next bogeyman.
