Pokemon zombies?

[jsxtreme]

Anyone else experience this phenomenon over the weekend?

I was in Depot town (Ypsi) and watched a few walk out into traffic while staring at their phone.

Haven't seen them personally, but reddit is full of posts about it since it came out, and a lot of my friends on FB have been posting about it. I don't know why it's so popular, honestly....then again, I never got into Pokemon as a kid.

I want more stories like this and fewer stories of people wandering out in traffic or driving around at speeds under 10 MPH.

my work is a water pokestop, people have been stopping all day, my millenial designers are pretty much useless right now

Buddy of mine says his usual watering hole turned into a pokestop and they drew in a shit ton more business than is typical.

Was driving beside one in A2 today that was playing (instead of driving). She almost involved someone else in her game. Thankfully I got away from her.

I downloaded the game yesterday to see what the hype was all about. My home has now been overrun.

I saw 8 people in three different cities playing yesterday, from 12 year old to 30 year old.

my kids have it, on my phone according to the tracker he walked 3 miles last night in the woods behind out house and around the lake so that makes me happy
