Thank you for briefing me on this "game"
Under no circumstances will my boy be playing this garbage in my home
Honor The Most High, Keep His Commandments and all will go well with you.

I was into Pokémon when it first came out in 1998, but stopped playing around 1999 when Pokémon Snap came out. Back them all the Blockbuster Video stores let you print up your pictures you snapped in the game (it was a safari photography game.) This whole thing feels like a bastardization of my childhood, so I'm a bit disturbed.
The game is huge with people with autism. Most kids stopped playing it in 1999 which was when the craze died down, but there's always been a group of hardcore people still doing the card games and stuff.
Here's a guy running around playing it in Australia. You can see how this could cause deaths and stuff since it's forcing this guy to drive around at night and watch his cellphone the entire time. He ends up in people's backyards and goes to actual gyms and grocery stores (watch his other videos for some of this.) One of the interesting things is he goes to places with bodies of water (the ocean) and there's water-type Pokémon in the water. I can see the appeal to this though since it's like a giant scavenger hunt.
Start around 1:54
Note: A Pokémon Gym is where you go to battle other Pokémon players.
According to this 5% of all Android users have downloaded the game just 2 days after it's release, and 3% actively play it daily. This is millions of people. I believe it will possibly become double this by the end of the week.
Even if you don't care about this game, this is very important since traffic accidents, robberies, and people literally walking off cliffs will increase. You'll see people walking around like zombies everywhere waving their phone in your face. You're going to see large numbers of people who normally never go outside walking around with their faces glued to their smartphone's screens.
