A Columbia, KY Guide to Pokemon Go

Pokemon go is probably the biggest social phenomenon of 2016. There are tons of players, numbers so high that servers can't keep upwith demand. Within 5 days, Pokemon GO has more users than Twitter. The game has given young players a new, compelling reason to get out and explore and use their downtowns, and repeatedly visit parks, churches and libraries. Even if you don't play the game, that should be a pretty exciting development for anyone who values Walking Culture or works to keep Main Street relevant.

By Pen Waggener and Evan Waggener

What is Pokemon Go?
Pokemon Go is the latest version of the 20-year-old Japanese game franchise, "the second-most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's Mario franchise." (Wikipedia). It's incredibly popular with teenagers, and also with Millenials who grew up with the characters.

Pokemon Go gameplay is a mix of Scavenger Hunt and King of the Hill. It's played on smartphones, using a free app and a mix of Google Maps, GPS coordinates, and a database of special real world locations, called PokeStops and Gyms. Players visit Stops for supplies, hunt and collect cartoonish Pokemon characters by moving around in the real world, and then visit Gyms to challenge each other's characters to battle it out for bragging rights at that location.

Augmented Reality: A pretty good excuse for a walk
Pokemon Go players can find Pokemon running wild anywhere. The game is based on Google Maps and GPS, so moving around in the game requires moving around in the real world.

Letter: Reader says Pokemon Go is dangerous

By Kalli Bailey
Personal Commentary
This is very important please read: This game (Pokemon Go) is very dangerous. A famous YouTuber witnessed a murder of a girl and called 911 after he witnessed it and was chased by the killer.

My dad had gotten the game and signed in with his email. Big mistake. The game developer used his email for stuff.

My uncle has this game and has no idea what will happen to him, but he has yet to delete it.

People have died playing this game. Someone somewhere was playing the game and stopped in the middle of a highway to do something on the game which caused a huge pile-up and the death of that person. If you have this game delete it now!!!!
Comments re photo 67589 Whats that in the coffee cup at Cranmer Dining Center


Editor's note: That story about the famous YouTuber witnessing a murder while playing Pokemon Go was a hoax. But it turns out he was driving a taxi while playing games with his smart phone and recording video for YouTube. Driving while you're distracted is very dangerous, and you shouldn't play any game--or text, or read the newspaper, or put on makeup, or try to eat tacos--while behind the wheel of a car.
