[QUOTE="Lil, post: 694398, member: 17309"] I can't think of any game sillier than Pokémon. But this game has done more to combat obesity in a week than Michelle Obama has in 8 years! LOL Seriously, my son downloaded this and it's his newest obsession. And he goes OUTSIDE and WALKS AROUND! In the sunshine and fresh air! I see posts on Facebook from his gamer friends talking about "taking a walk later" and "want to get together and walk around?" He reconnected with a friend yesterday and they walked around for hours with some other guys catching Pokémon! Even he recognizes how weird this is. He said he'd never seen so many people out late - that there were 30 or 40 people around the capital building and on the streets - not drinking, not causing trouble...playing Pokémon! It requires you to walk a certain number of kilometers for things too. My son said he's walked 15 kilometers since he downloaded the game. It's crazy...but it gets gamers off their butts and out of the house. :D [/QUOTE]
