Anyone know when this first came out? The app was released to the public July 2016. It is brand new.

I would have said No, they're much too old for that, but I just passed the two of them huddled over DDs phone trying to catch Squirtle. Lolol They're 18 & 21! And I think, reliving their younger days right now

My husband and son told me about it last night. I downloaded and will we playing with it today. I hope I get tired of it fast because I am not coordinated enough to be wandering around doing this! Adding: My son is almost 21 and was very into Pokemon at a very young age. When people would be impressed about his vocabulary I had to be honest it was mostly due to Pokemon! The words used to describe their attributes were easily understood and picked up by a 3 year old. I have to think it help him on the SAT's later haha. I admit I am loving revisiting this time as I reconnect with the monsters.

My son is very leery of it.
My daughter wanted to go to the park at 11 to play. Our parks close at 10. She is 19, and kept yelling that at us. Then she wanted to play at her friend's house. Oh. Hell. No. That neighbor is full drug addicts and gang members. My husband works with the friend's next door neighbor and she calls the police at least once on the weekends. I am not sorry that we won't let her play at midnight.

Just back from Ikea, where they have wifi (so I still don't have an answer to my data question)....Ds pushing dd in the wheelchair with one hand while his other hand is searching for Pokemon. Dd in the wheelchair with both hands free, beating him to all the Pokemon. lolol. And me? Well....I will confess that I downloaded the darn thing and was catching them as well. I'd lag behind because I'm bad at throwing that ball thing that catches them. Then I'd catch up and ds would say "Mom, you keep losing us." I said "yeah, I stopped to look at things." Never did tell them I'd downloaded the game also. I have to fight others for the Pokémon?

There are none here out in the middle of nowhere. We live on 100 plus acres and son went on a long walk "for nothing". Last night it drove into a town and then walked around to catch a few. I think age matters not. Fun for little ones and nostalgic for the older, who are probably into even more.

I took the neighbor's dog for a walk again this morning and he asked if I wanted to take his phone and catch some more. Lol

My 23 year old son, who, lets face it could stand to lose a few (just like his momma) walked 3 miles this morning just playing pokemon go. So, as long as it gets him out of his house!

For those of you concerned about data usage, my son said that in a 48 hour period that he monitored it used less than Facebook. I can't remember how many megabytes he said, but when I asked , "Is that a lot?" He laughed and said no.

I went for a run this morning, and I saw a bunch of people walking around with their arms extended fixated on their phone. Pretty sure they were trying to catch those little buggers. I thought it was kinda funny. I downloaded it and tried to catch a few but maybe I'm not doing it right 'cuz I just don't get it.

I just meant that because dd had two hands free she was getting more than he was. lol

Finally got in this morning and 7 yo dgs is so excited. We went outside but when we walked toward something, our person on the screen went the other way. I'll have to figure this thing out. I need Pokemon Go for dummies!

I was in for a bit this morning, caught one in my yard. I was in my Jammies and could not go down the street to the church bell tower to collect balls. I have not gotten in again since then.

I'm back from a work day at my old church building and I discovered that the building is a Pokemon gym. I can't do anything there yet though because I'm not level 5. I also discovered that the building next to the place that we're renting for our church worship is a Pokestop. But, I couldn't figure out how to get it to give me anything and I didn't want to be late for church. "Dear Pastor, Sorry I was late this morning but I was trying to catch Pidgey..."

To get items from a pokestop, spin the circle in the center with the picture. Stuff will pop out of it and then you can tap on it and get it! SaveSave

My kids were commenting that there were a lot of gyms and stops near churches. Which is better than the Pokestop I found in a liquor store near my office.

We found three PokeStops in an old cemetery near our house. One at the front gate, one at the mausoleum, and one at the back gate,
