Julio Johnson 5 Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 (edited) I don't play this game, but my son plays a lot. I think there is nothing wrong with that. Since I have heard that Pokemon Go and other "augmented reality" systems greatly increase the desire of gamers to move and maintain a high level of physical activity. Japanese sociologists write about this in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. I believe that this kind of entertainment can take gamers into the world of sports and physical activity. By the way, on YouTube, you can find videos in which the authors confirm from their experience that the game still affects the increase in physical activity. ... I found a couple of videos on this topic there and noticed that in most cases such videos had almost 78 thousand views. I am sure that in order to achieve such indicators, their authors often buy youtube views in order to quickly increase their number.

lowlylowlycook 10073 Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Yeah, I mostly use it to motive me to get out and walk. I definitely go out in weather that I wouldn't if I had no exterior motivation. Just be careful. Any "free to play" game is a slippery slope once you start putting money in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyradis 54130 Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 It isn't a hard physical activity motivator usually, but it does encourage regular longer walks quite well. Precovid the Community Day events were good for running into similar nerds too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redambrosia 81241 Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I mean, for Hubby and I it really just encouraged long drives, followed by short walks and bouts of standing still for a while. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWulfe 44212 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 We still play on occasion, although I don't log in anywhere near as often as I used to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lowlylowlycook 10073 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 It's a lot harder to get motivated after they take away 4x catch xp and then give tepig a community day, that's for sure. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyradis 54130 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Yeah - I did enough to get a few shinies and went "good nuf". Not that into Tepig. I walked the pet lizard to the park, played a bit, went home. Otherwise just casually catching sitting at home. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
