‘Get up! Get out, and Explore!’ is the tagline on the Pokémon Go website. Promoting this new interactive game as an “exploration” app, the site tells you to: “Get on your feet and step outside to find and catch wild Pokémon.” They market the game as a way to “Explore cities and towns where you live - and even around the globe - to capture as many Pokémon as you can.” So while you’re walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago or strolling around your local farmer’s market in Sheboygan, Wisconsin or even the financial district in Manhattan, your smartphone will vibrate to let you know you’re near a Pokémon. The company does add an important disclaimer: “For safety’s sake, never play Pokémon when you’re on your bike, driving a car, riding a hoverboard, or anything else where you should be playing attention, and of course never wander away from your parents or your group to catch a Pokémon.” I hadn’t even thought that far ahead, but then I read a story of a registered sex offender caught playing the game outside a courthouse. It occurred to me: can someone hack in and lure unsuspecting kids into a dark alley? There have already been cases of car and bike accidents as people stop in the middle of a busy intersection to scour their surroundings for the monsters nearby. Recently, two guys playing the seemingly harmless game fell 75 feet down a cliff and were rescued by police - all because they were trying to catch a monster,. And a pretend one at that.
