I am sitting at my desk with my mathematics book open on my table blocking my instructor's view of my face. Underneath my desk, my fingers are scrambling around as I am shuffling cards in my hand to deal with my best friend at that time. We throw our cards on the floor play after play until our teacher notices what we are not doing, our school work. She sneaks over to our desks and confiscates our cards due to us not paying attention in class, but really we have finished our assignments for that day. This was our daily routine in the third grade: getting into trouble for playing "Pokemon".

When we played "Pokemon" with our cards it was one of the many exciting events as a child. The excitement of showing off our new characters to our friends, using our imagination to challenge each other with our HP points, then rushing home just to watch the show was a pure bliss. Once, the idea did come to mind of playing Pokemon in reality no longer with the cards but with real characters. Fast forward to today and our dreams as children have come true thanks to the amazing innovators and technology of the world.

This is a time to be alive in today's society because of "Pokemon Go." Many users of all ages, especially '90s babies,are able to play despite responsibilities. I recently overheard a couple's conversation about the game as the lady argued, "I am too grown and responsible to play this game. There are more important things for me to worry about like work, my bills," and the list just goes on. That lady is actually correct. There is nothing wrong with playing "Pokemon Go," but it needs to be played with serious responsibility for one's own life and surroundings.

Recently I read reviews of "Pokemon Go" players taking it to many extremes to "catch them all." A group of girls traveled in the ocean to capture imaginary creatures, and some citizens have awoken to random people in their yards to capture these creatures. Some have even been led to bad locations and in result suffered by being beaten and robbed. There has been some pros to this game for many people, for example, a "Uber" driver took advantage to this opportunity and charges people a certain amount per hour to drive players to capture "Pokemon."

This is not my main issue why "Pokemon Go" should go. I enjoy the game myself and when I play I am well aware of my surroundings. The problem is I have two bad experiences that continuously occur throughout my daily schedule. They are me driving on my way to work and while I am at work. This is where all of my problems occur with "Pokemon Go."

I stay in Tulsa, Oklahoma and it is blazing hot every day for summer 2016. On my way to work for a 10-minute drive, I see kids outside playing "Pokemon Go" and this is a great thing. The bad side to this is kids are so blindly distracted of their surroundings that they come close to unintentionally endangering their lives daily. I obey the law by letting pedestrians have the right away but some even walk directly to the car and do not look up until you honk at them. The worst case scenario is when I am at work and we are busy, as a waiter, I have to be patient with my guest, but when a whole family is playing this game it is very nerve wrecking when it is difficult to catch their attention. Oh yes! I almost forgot to mention: My job is a training gym on "Pokemon Go," so go figure how many guest we receive walking in with their eyes glued to their phone.

I love Pokemon as it brings me to a feeling of nostalgia but I just wish everyone was as responsible and careful as possible. This is a dream come true and is very exciting but for future reference, how about "Pokemon Go" installs an alert system to warn people when they are in danger, especially to prevent any major lawsuits. What do you think?
