first of its kind to have been so successful. I agree that the game brings various benefits
since many have claimed that the game has helped them in being fit and some even
claimed to be more social since playing it. However, there are also people who aren’t
for the game for it has been the cause of many traffic accidents and crimes.

Since the release, more people are observe to spend time outdoors. Since
the game requires players to walk around in search of Pokemons, parks are seen to get
more visitors. So used the opportunity to do some exercises such as jogging and some
calisthenics. The game is even designed to reward players after having walked a certain
distance.

As more people play the game, many get acquainted and played together.
Since the release, many societies has been built to play the game. Get-togethers has
been held to play the game where players can raid and trade Pokemon with one
another. In essence, the game has made it easier for people to meet new people as
they, now, have a common interest to talk about.

damage to be more specific. News of traffic accidents caused by people playing the
game flooded newspapers soon after the game was accessible. Some players are
reported to play the game as they are driving for it helps to cover distance much faster.

To add, authorities has reported that players even go so far to play the game
as to commit crimes. Breaking and entering are some of the crimes committed by
players in their quest to collect Pokemons. Taking advantage of innocent players, some
have committed crimes such as robbing and even kidnapping players whenever they
venture into creepy corridors. These crimes are used by some parents as reasons to
disallow children from playing the game.

I do believe that the game Pokemon Go is beneficial as it makes players fit

and more sociable. Sadly some believe that the game has been the root to many crimes
and accidents. The media needs to paint a brighter picture of the game as to shed light
on the wondrous benefits people may gain from playing it. Media should also stop
portraying negative articles that it scares people from playing the game.
