Alternative to Pokemon Go

Trying to think of a name.. instead of gotta catch them all... how about gotta hit them all!

Every time you see some goof walking around trying to catch pokemon, you try to hit them.

(Almost hit two people today that were standing in the middle of the road trying to catch a pokemon)

If you do hit anyone just say that you didn't intend to hit them and they won't be able to charge you with anything.

Road Rash.

How do you know they were playing Pokemon Go though?

I'm purposely staying far away from that one. I know my personality enough to see this game would likely be right up my alley.

Pretty much all the pokestops in my area are playgrounds. I don't want to get added to a watch list.

Was at the park the other day playing with my toddler and saw a mom creeping in her car for like 10 minutes around the play ground but a kid got out, stood in the road for like 3 minutes before fist pumping and getting back in so mom could creep around more. Was like 80 degrees with no humidity.

Needless to say, judged the shit out of them for choosing that as their weekend activity

It's getting people outdoors and finding new and exciting things like Pokemon and dead bodies. Can't be all bad.

I didn't even know this was a thing until earlier today, reading about some dude in the delivery room catching a pokemon while his wife was in labor.

I think bonding with your kids is pretty cool. Maybe they went out for ice cream or something afterwards, or talked while they were in the car together. Pokemon has been around for about 20 years, and people who have kids now might have played it when they were kids themselves.

I tried to get my parents interested in the video games I played when I was a kid, but they always said anything but Mr. Do! made them nauseous.

The good bit? People who may've never gotten exercise getting exercise and parents getting an excuse to walk with their kids. The bad? Slightly lazier people hitting those other people with their cars and the parents who don't walk with their kids.

As a social studies teacher I like people finding historical markers (including the rare and obscure ones.) A monument to the dead from a hurricane makes a really weird gym.

Westboro Baptist Church being a gym is hilarious though.
