What? How? Where???
I am so confused about Pokemon go! It's all over the news! People have been robbed when trying to find the Pokemon, they've gotten into near accidents...
What is this craze? I read about it and watched the Pokemon Go trailer to try to understand.
it looks like the Pokemon don't actually appear- they just appear on your phone with the background of wherever you are (is that a camera at work?).
But I saw a picture of a cop picking up a Pokemon! How does that make sense???

Is it really a Pokemon on someone's phone, and the cop is just pretending to hold it by putting his hands in the spot where the Pokemon appears to be?

From what I understand, it's all on your phone. But to find the pokemon, you have to go to certain locations eg the top of the empire state building, a museum, a park and then pokemons will appear in your phone camera and you can catch them.

Pokemon Go uses your GPS in your phone and using the virtual reality technology it create pokemon images that show up wherever you are. You need certain tools to capture the pokemon with you phone. This involves in app purchases to give you cool tool, skills and extra lives.

As you read my limited description you can imagine this is really intended for people with a lot of free time not heir hands.

Basically you can be at the supermarket and your phone will notify that there is a pokemon IN THE STORE so you wander up and down the aisles looking for the image to turn yup on your screen and then you capture it.

I don't know about you but when Im in the market I do not have extra time to hunt for pokemon. I downloaded the app and it asked me if it could access my location and I said no so the app wouldn't work. Needless to say I deleted it immediately.

My oldest daughter and I were out and about on Thurday and she has a smart phone. We started playing Pokeman Go and had a bundle of giggles together. It's really quite fun.
