Anyone in IRON been playing this? If you wondering what this is, Pokemon Go is a new augmented reality game that utilizes your phone's camera and GPS location. Its a free game that runs on Apple and Andriod phones. You walk around outside and Pokemon will randomly appear on your phone screen, you then throw a pokeball to catch them. There are some team like features where your team color can control real world locations. Anyone on your team can go to that place to train or hold some type of an event. Other team colors can attempt to steal that location from your team if no one is there to protect it. The game definitely encourages exercise and exploration.
Some of my friends and co workers have been playing and its downright hilarious watching them walk around. I was at a party a couple days ago and 2 of my friends insisted they had to go on a walk to look for Pokemon. Then yesterday I was hanging out with a friend and he just had to walk around a nearby park to see what he could find. He got incredibly excited when he saw a battle going on in the area (other people playing the game) but he wasn't a high enough level to join in.
I've heard stories ranging from funny to absolute stupidity. One of my coworkers told me one of his friends almost got hit by a car trying to catch a pokemon. Another one of my coworkers was walking around a bunch of heavy machinery being operated trying to chase a pokemon. Also, the same guy I mentioned earlier about walking around the park, he was out driving and decided to catch a pokemon while waiting at a red light. Thankfully none of these people were injured but I can relate to how addicting this game is.
I have a Windows phone so I unfortunately haven't been able to play, although given the game's immense popularity I would imagine a version will be ported over in the relatively near future.
If you do plan on trying it out, just remember it has bugs and it does drain battery life quicker than most games/apps.
