Just like the majority of my generation those, of us who grew up in the early nineties I love Pokemon. It's an animated series that many of us fell in love with in elementary school, and we were convinced one day we could catch em' all too. However recently this whole Pokemon Go game has, of course, sparked that love once again and for many of us, not all... but many have found us a game that actually makes us feel like we also can be Pokemon trainers, and we also can catch them all.

However this game has become a bit of a nuisance and a hazard to others. For example, I would like to paint a scene for you, A friend of mine works for the water plant in my city. He works the night shift as well as the afternoon shift, and he is at the water plant alone and secluded way back in the woods...just last week I was there to drop something off for him as I approached the secured electronic gate I noticed he was sitting there talking to someone on the other side of the fence. Later on, I was able to ask him what was going on only to find out that the young man standing on the outside of the fence had climbed over the fence in an attempt to retrieve a Pokemon. This person had trespassed onto city property and got the cops called on him in attempts to retrieve a Pokemon. This is extremely ridiculous. It is only one example of the stupidity and the danger that Pokemon go is causing people to do. Not only to mention the people who are Pokemon going while they drive or just not looking where they're going, in general, it's also a potential Hazard for children who may be walking into the middle of the street attempting to retrieve a Pokemon.

There is good and bad to everything; I can see the benefits of the game, it has definitely made people more active but to what extent? It's great if the game keeps you active but it is bad if it keeps you distracted and putting you in dangerous situations. I think whoever created the game was very brilliant, very smart to say the least. He took something that people loved, he harnessed it and gave them the feeling of being inside the game. All I say is please people when you decide to go out to Pokemon use intelligence and caution in your search. Happy hunting!!!
