In case you didn't know, Pokémon Go is an Augmented Reality game for Android and iPhone users where players must catch Pokémon in different locations. The game has been downloaded 7.5 million times since its release the other week. And while the game might be good at getting people outside and to exercise, it doesn't come without risks and is actually causing people to have accidents, injuries and even car crashes!
Many of the games players are reporting tripping up, falling over and even putting themselves at risk of getting run over and involved in near fatal collisions as they throw Pokéballs at Pikachu whilst driving around.
One 28 year old driver who was distracted while playing Pokémon Go, actually crashed his car into a tree in New York, who subsequently broke his ankle in the crash. To say he escaped "lucky" is an understatement when you see the damage to his car!

Some people are even luring unsuspecting players into traps and holding them at gun point to rob them! A group of teenagers were recently robbed at gun point after being lured to a remote location to "catch 'em all".
So guys, if you play Pokémon Go, please keep your senses about you! Watch out for what you're doing, what's in front of you and your surroundings! And parents, if you let your kids play this game, please please make sure you know where they are and that they're not going to "remote locations" while playing it.

However, this app is getting people out of their houses to get fresh air and exercise. So with that aspect I would hope people would be safe and pay attention to their surroundings and not walk in traffic, or cause accidents as what was stated in the initial post. I've heard about all this on the news, and I barely watch the news. So for me to actually hear about this when I barely watch the news goes to show that the Pokemon Go app is insanely popular. I have not downloaded the app myself, and I do not intend to download the app, because I'm too lazy and don't feel like walking all over my town.
