Not really. I didn't realize that I had to really care about something in order to post a comment on a message board. Geez...

Of course not, it's just funny to me when people use exercise as a plus for a Pokemon game

Wouldn't an app that requires more exercise (physical activity) be a plus though?

I mean if they were tracking their miles using MapMyRun or Nike+ we would be praising them, instead they do it while catching imaginary creatures and having to walk 2km, 5km, or 10km.

Gotcha. Sorry -- it really was just a comment about how weird it is.

Actually, I would probably think it is a great idea. However, these turkeys are all riding around in their cars at 5-10 mph back and forth in front of my house.

I don't play, but my son and his friends do and they've basically doubled their average steps per day during summer lull.

Yep. I posted above, but this is spot on. Son tracks his steps and doubled playing Pokemon Go. It's fun for him and his friends and promotes physical activity. Of course he knows the dangers too. I worry more about the younger age group that aren't aware of surroundings.

Sounds like some enterprising whippersnapper needs to set up an impromptu toll booth next to your house.

Slack-I get that you are frustrated but here's something that might help. It would seem that there is in fact a way to force an evolution of your Eevee. The Eevee Brothers from the original anime were named Rainer, Pyro, Sparky and they owned a Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon respectively. If you nickname your Eevee either Rainer, Pyro or Sparky, your Eevee will evolve into that desired Eeveelution!

Sparky = Jolteon

Rainer = Vaporeon

Pyro = Flareon

Guess you'd rather people stay inside getting obese. frick you if you don't like it.


If they're driving around, they're still getting obese. This was sold as a way to get the gamer geeks out exercising. Guess not.
