Pokemon Must Die Already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's already enough distracted cell phone drivers and texters, all effing Pokemon is doing now is just making things worse! Need proof? Read this:

A Michigan couple filed a class action lawsuit last week against Pok?mon Go creator Niantic, along with the Pok?mon Company and Nintendo, alleging that the game has turned their neighborhood into "a nightmare."

Scott Dodich and Jayme Gotts-Dodich requested the removal of Pok?mon gym and a Pokestop at Wahby Park in St. Clair Shores, according to NBC's Detroit affiliate WDIV. The couple allege that their once private cul-de-sac has been taken over, at times, by Pok?mon Go players who have blocked driveways with vehicles and trespassed on lawns.

 

Every time I see a story like this I feel really, really sad for these people. How do they handle actual problems and emergencies? It just seems unfair that someone should be allowed to reach adulthood so poorly equipped to deal with the realities of the world around them... strangers on your lawn is why God created remote controlled sprinklers, dobermans, and hidden wasp nests.

Aside from that, anyone with an ounce of common sense knows they should have sued whoever planned out the cul-de-sac in a way that makes it possible for the people who live there to be inconvenienced to that extent. Or the auto-industry for making the cars blocking their driveway. But taking on Nintendo...? The word "clueless" only begins to describe it.

Yes, I find outrage over Pokemon Go to be a complete and utter waste of time. Mocking those who express it though, is quite entertaining.

 

The first time you are delayed or put in danger because the person in front of you is playing Pokemon Go kinda changes your views. A few problems I have had:
1) A car stops 2 car lengths back and plays, the car is not over the sensor so the turn turning arrow never comes on, I was on the motorcycle so I pulled in front of him over the sensor.
2) As the 3rd car back in a turning lane, they stop just short of the second sensor, playing Pokemon. They did not move when the arrow turned on, I honked and he made it through on the yellow. I had to wait for the next light.
3) A passenger was showing the driver a find on a freeway on ramp, almost an accident as the driver did not accelerate nor plan his merge.
Like Mimsy said, outrage over Pokemon Go is futile. These problems will continue and probably get worse.

 

Pokemon Going To Stay...

Within 6 months, the next new thing will come along and no one will remember Pokemon Go.

 

While I certainly can see your point, I've been greatly inconvenienced and occasionally put in danger by other drivers because they are too focused on their take-out coffee, and on one memorable occasion, a female driver was too busy applying mascara to notice that a stop light had turned red.

No one in their right mind rages against coffee or make-up because of these incidents. We rage at the stupid drivers, and we hope they don't kill anyone aside from themselves the day they eventually go off the road or into oncoming traffic because of their own stupidity.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter why careless and inconsiderate drivers are careless and inconsiderate. They still ruin the commute for the rest of us, and pose a threat to others on the road while they do so. Pokemon, coffee, mascara, or daydreams about the girl next door... the reason is irrelevant. And for the record, full-on rage about them while driving is as dangerous to the rest of us as Pokemon Go has been accused of being.

Pokepenguin?

 

1. This is barely making sense.

2. If an inconsiderate moron driver totals my car and puts me in intensive care, I seriously doubt that my top priority will be to prove that it's Pokemon's fault.

Basically, what Moriarty said.

 

What you just said actually makes no sense or you're just too slow to understand you wouldn't be in a hospital and your car wouldn't be totaled if Pokemon never existed. In fact I just heard this 5 minutes ago:

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) - Police have arrested a Terre Haute man in connection with a "Pokemon Go" robbery on the Indiana State University campus.

Police arrested 19-year-old Jamar Dashillas on a warrant charging him with robbery in the Aug. 13 incident. A man and woman playing the popular cellphone game about 3 a.m. told officers they were accosted by a man who demanded their personal property and then battered them. The man suffered a concussion and a broken nose, and the woman had bruises and cuts.
