Pokemon Go

The Pokemon Go craze just made it to our house. LOL It took us a while to catch up with the times, I guess. The kids don't have smartphones and we didn't want Mom's to be hauled all over the place. We had one sad teenage boy for quite a few weeks. ;( Then we figured out how to get it on our free tablet we got with our phone last time. They rigged something up on Justice's bike so he can take it with him. The kids have now been out several times. They pack a lunch, take a couple bucks, a refill bottle and head over to the Montana City Store, or the Baptist Church or the school. They are usually gone for hours. They love it and seem to get quite a bit of exercise. Fun times!

Here's the info their website tells you about the game:
Travel between the real world and the virtual world of Pokémon with Pokémon GO for iPhone and Android devices. With Pokémon GO, you’ll discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO is built on Niantic’s Real World Gaming Platform and will use real locations to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon. Pokémon GO allows you to find and catch more than a hundred species of Pokémon as you explore your surroundings.

The Pokémon video game series has used real-world locations such as the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. In Pokémon GO, the real world will be the setting!

Get on your feet and step outside to find and catch wild Pokémon. Explore cities and towns around where you live and even around the globe to capture as many Pokémon as you can. As you move around, your smartphone will vibrate to let you know you're near a Pokémon. Once you've encountered a Pokémon, take aim on your smartphone's touch screen and throw a Poké Ball to catch it. Be careful when you try to catch it, or it might run away! Also look for PokéStops located at interesting places, such as public art installations, historical markers, and monuments, where you can collect more Poké Balls and other items
