    DailyFail believes that robbers should be the least of our concerns.

    Honestly I believe that the dangers are overblown. Muggers and pedophiles always had great tools in their inventory. Two or three horrible cases might occur, but nothing big, IMHO.

    I love this but it's getting out of hand. I see literally every other person playing this walking somewhere. I heard they got pokestop around the White House and in the Pentagon with rare Pokemon.

    Sometimes it gets weird, I found one dancing next to me when I woke up, and I'm in a 7th floor wtf...

    Somebody posted on twitter about a jigglypuff leading them to a sketchy white van...

    I would absolutily try it out but my iPhone is just behind the minimum specs. But if I could buy shares in Darwin-Awards I would. There is so much that can go wrong, it should be shut down untill no more pokemons appear in auschwitz or the white-house or abandoned metro tunnels.

    Ive been nerding out on Pokémon GO for days now. I literally had to take a break because my feet have been killing me. Between work (4.5-5.5mi average walk distance) and my travels 5.5 miles I walked around 10-11 miles the other day!

    I keep having GPS signal issues, and lack of internet on my pad makes it pretty much unplayable for myself.
