I respect the idea of pokemon go but the effect its had on all of us really sickens me. People have died playing it, People have gotten into car accidents playing it. People have gone to historical sites to not pay respect to the events that occured but just to get some damn charizard. People say "Oh it gets people out of the house more and socialize other people." Yes but you are disrupting other people by going on or near their property at night. not only that it shouldnt take a video game for you to go out and make friends. Do it on your own. Thats how the mythical creatures before us did it.

And from a gaming note. Its literally 1/3 of an actual pokemon game. You cant battle except for gyms, and you cant trade. You can only catch. And from a technical standpoint its horrendous. It chews up your battery, destroys your data, and the internet service is constantly down. The game is cool but the technology for it to be good is beyond this time. Maybe in a few years. The real reason people love this game is the idea. Not the execution

Your common sense should be able to dictate where you can play Pokemon Go.

People who need it to be a game to manage to go outside should probably be expunged from the gene pool.

i was wondering about battles.....
so whats the fricking point if you cant trade nor battle other players?

seems like the most pointless game ive heard of in awhile
what are you doing with all your caught mons ?

what you say makes no sense to me
why would 20+ millions get that app if it was true ?

there HAS to be trading and battling
or the western world is so dumb its beyond redemption

I wish you were allowed to make jokes on the forum... I''ve made that mistake before...

You can, but on a topic like this... pick your words carefully. This is something where a joke is a bit too much 99% of the time.

To be fair, if you're going to a holocaust museum, you should have the common decency to not play a video game there.

Sometimes I wonder if people have totally lost the ability to behave properly depending on the situation.

If you're playing on your phone on a museum you're already doing something wrong.

A museum is one thing Art Museum? Games are art amirite? ;), but there is a degree of common sense to put p here. It's not just ignorant, it's a huge slap in the face to the relatives of everyone who died there.

Since obviously there are people stupid enough to do this anyway, Nintendo could resolve this problem simply by blacklisting certain places. It's only a matter of time before a high-security area is broken into just to "catch 'em all."

Going to a auschwitz museum just for the popular game without giving a single damn about its history is disrespecting to the victims of the horrible act by the terrible regime.

LMAO. yeah ok.

Genocide isn't something you exactly slap a WatchMojo ranking on. The victims were actual people that were herded onto cattle cars and thrown into a camp with a routine death schedule where the primary goal was efficiency. You can't just say "this is worse," because both are atrocious acts.

true but, going off of what "witnesses" claimed and what are proven scientfic facts is why i say the whole story is not factually right.. u dont have to take my word, go on youtube and see for yourself.

The Soviet union has had its bad past and i cannot deny Joseph Stalin purged his officials. But the Soviet union went from a peasant society to a industrial machine and it was rapid. Nonetheless many people straved.

Germany was a whole different story. The leader wanted to eliminate "inferior" people and it was intentionally. Pure evil.

Their death numbers are comparable though

I wouldn't call Stalin a saint, but one indeed had more sinner goal

meanwhile mao

mao: 40 millions death caused
stalin: 20 millions
hitler: 12 millions

even if hitler and stalin joined forces, they couldnt together come close to the chinese murder machinery

You clearly don't know anything about history.

Stalin's "mass killing" is actually starvation during industriazation and hitler's mass killing is intentionally genocide of "sub humans".

None of these leaders are saints, but we can clearly see who is obviously more "evil".
