Used it on a couple car rides (read: NOT drives) and when I woke up this morning but I don't come across much and it wrecks my battery. I can only imagine how it affects data when you're not on wifi.

Seems like another game that'll be hugely popular with folks that get sucked into what other people are doing but I stopped my social media accounts at Snapchat and don't play any of the big mobile games. I just prefer the full console experience and don't want to spend my time outdoors looking at a phone more than I already do for Facebook, Instagram and the Internet in general.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Yellow but the whole excitement of getting the Pokemon wasn't just finding them and catching them, it was fighting them and learning their techniques and weaknesses and having to know your own stable well enough to not hurt the Pokemon too much, knowing what ball you needed to catch which Pokemon at which damage levels, etc. Maybe this game has some of that but if the fundamental challenge is to go places in real life and hope something interesting happens, I think I already do that anyway and I'm not sure I want to be stressing over my Pokemon Go character's level at the same time.
