And why are all the younger people in my office running around with their phones chasing things?

I feel so very old right now.

I'm just in this thread because it is the only one not talking about BLM protests.

If it gets people off their asses and moving, I'm all for it.

I saw it last night. It makes no sense to me at all. These were 20-somethings. I mean, come on. When I became a man, I put away childish things.

I won my entire collecting of POGS by finding a POG on the ground.

I play for keeps.

Its an app that allows you to catch virtual Pokemon. You see them through the camera of your phone. My kids have been running through our neighborhood with it the last 2 days.

I thought Pokemon was a late 90s cartoon, no? Is this an app to go with the cartoon?

What are they chasing? Apparently they are all going somewhere at lunch to "catch" things...?

And then I noticed idiots DRIVING and playing the damn game.

Pokemon was big when we were in high school. Don't act like it's something you don't know about.

Pokemon is legit.

Apparently it interfaces with mapping software and virtually hides Pokemon throughout your local area. You have to go chase them down to the actual location on your map and catch them.

First game came out in 1997?

The most immature and childish people are those who are most concerned about looking immature and childish. You are never too old to have fun and do whatever you enjoy in life.

I have two guys at work who are really into it. When they start talking about it me and the 20-something girl who works with us just stare at each other. I guess the switch just flips at different times for everyone.
