It's probably time for my generation to grow up 7/15/16 by Matt Walsh - TheBlaze published on 2016-07-15T13:44:06Z Matt answers emails about Pokemon, porn, bourbon, Ghostbusters, and abortion. Genre Storytelling Comment by DEilertson Pokemon Go makes me a bit sad... How does an App which combines GPS, Augmented Reality, the illusion of teamwork, and a world-wide coordination of computer networks get boring in a couple weeks? I mean, sure, not everyone played Pokemon before the game started, but still, this is an incredible technological feat, and its totally lost the casual following in a couple weeks. Are we so easily distracted or bored? Can anything hold our attention anymore? 2016-07-31T23:46:41Z Comment by cha2meli02 I love Pokemon go, becuase of it I was able to get my diabetic sister to go walking with me... neither of us watches pokemon (we didn't have a tv) but we played the card game and loved it. I still go and hang out outside in my garden, go shooting, fishing and play me some pokemon... balance is key. My nine year old is better at it then me though. 2016-07-27T06:28:17Z Comment by Joel Wagler j 2016-07-20T00:00:36Z Comment by Otaku @kelly-mine: Yup, that is part of the appeal: it is an all-ages game. That also means older players that want something simple and fun and unlikely to contain "mature" content. I'll have to give the rest of this a listen later but I hope Walsh actually starts supporting his dislike beyond "Its childish". Newsflash: most of what "adults" have liked for a while now has been childish, especially if you set out to make it sound so. I mean sports are just children's games. Plays are just watching others play make-believe. 2016-07-19T06:27:26Z Comment by Kelly Mine I play Pokemon with my kids. It's fun. I wouldn't do it on my own. My kids are absolutely floored that I will play with them and take an interest in their game, but as an adult on my own I have no interest in playing Pokemon. 2016-07-16T22:02:48Z Comment by Jacqueline Kraber Matt, I am that "girl" too. I heard about it and immediately thought to myself, this is stupid. And dangerous...not only for public safety, but after hearing about kids getting led to a pedophile's house looking for pokemon, and finding dead bodies....no thanks 2016-07-15T17:26:35Z
