    It's definitely gotten me to enjoy my walks, hopefully the novelty doesn't wear off on me

    I have no interest in this game but I will say something.

    Walking is a great exercise but please watch where you're going. Pay attention to what is going on around you, please.

    There's a workaround for iOS Apple users that are living in areas that hasn't officially released yet and don't want to wait

    I had to jump through hoops to get it here in the UK, but it has changed my entire life!!! I never left the house alone before I got it!

    I love Pokemon Go. NYC is great for it, but yes you do have to pay attention to where you are going!

    Love it. I walked with my husband to one of the nearby parks last night and there were tons of people (at a usually empty park). All with open phones.....in a small park with 5 pokestops....

    Lots of fun and very addictive! But I wish pokemon would live at the beach or the trails instead of the shopping mall.

    I'm in love with Pokemon Go! I have played Pokemon since I was little and still do now. When they came out with this, it was a dream come true. I sometimes sit and say, maybe I should go walk but find an excuse not to. Now I am wanting to catch them all that I now want to walk all the time. Great motivation and any Pokemon lovers dream come true!

    Oh gosh, this is how I get up in the morning to walk. My neighbor downloaded the app and each time we arrive at the checkpoints the servers crash :/ . It's really fun and annoying at the same time. I find the game entertaining because I spend 1 hour and 30 minutes of my life walking around town.

    I downloaded it tonight and got 4 Pokemon in a block. My son enjoyed Pokemon as a kid and Yu Gi Oh. He is 22 and explained some of the app to me. Lol.

    FYI, if someone is into this, check out some articles on what being glued to a phone does to your posture and how to mitigate. Here's a few sample articles:

    Haven't really had a chance to go on a good walk with it yet, but I figure once I start waking up consistently early, me and my dog are going to go on a nice Pokemon hunt in the mornings soon. Maybe even conquer some gyms while we're at it. ;)
