I realise most of us are in the Middle ages.....has anyone been taken in by Pokemon Go yet? I havent got it nor will I, but fantastically clever idea. My 26 yr old trainee is hooked and I got a bit excited when he was close to a Jigglypuff. Kinda part of my eldests child hood so fond memories for me.

I keep hearing about Pokémon Go and I have utterly no idea what it is... and I'm fine with that.   ;)

'He was close to a Jigglypuff'...

Now there's a sentence you don't hear every day...  ;D

Been a lot about Pokémon go in the news the last few days, some guy in new Zealand packing in his job and travelling 100s of miles around remote islands and some nutter falling off a cliff all in the search of something I don't quite understand

Don't get this Pokemon Go thang - Pokemon was a game my lad played when he was under 10, now it seems like there's "grown ups" playing it and somehow it's morphed into the real world. Confused  ???

My basic understanding is you use your phone or "smart" device to track a GPS coordinate

I thought me and my small boy might enjoy Pokemon Go, so I've downloaded it yesterday.  However, the game is so overwhelmed with new users trying to register, we're not live yet. I'll let you know how it goes...
