The Pokemon craze from the mid 90s has swept the world again, now in smartphone form. And yours truly is into it.
Many of us have been going to firestations, churches and other landmarks for powerups and rare Pokemons. People of all ages are trying to catch them, and some are getting injured and causing injuries. It is an interactive game, but one that should be played with some common sense and awareness.
Here are some tips I have picked up in my short time playing this game.
1. Play in open spaces, like a downtown area or a park. You want to have a few feet (5 or more) open around you for playing so you don't run into anything whilst trying to catch a Pokemon.
2. Look both ways before crossing streets, and keep your eyes up around cars and pedestrians.
3. Don't play after the sun goes down.
4. Drive to destinations when possible, and obey traffic and parking laws.
5. Make a plan to play, and have a couple of folks with you, especially if you're in team mode.
6. Watch your battery and data usage.
7. Have fun and be safe!
There are more I could name, but basically use common sense and good judgment. Don't lose yourself in any game.
