PROS AND CONS OF POKEMON GO

LUCIA
Non-threatening theme for all publics: The game aims at teaching friendship, respect for the others and hard work. Although Pokémon fight other Pokémon, this is largely a non-violent game.
Fun and Easy: You don't need to be a very good player or even to have played a Pokémon game ever before.
You can play for free: Even if there is a chance to speed up your progress in the game through in-game microtransactions, you don't need to pay to download the game or play.
You need to have the application of the game open all the time in order to get alerts of nearby Pokémon or PokéStops. This means the battery will run out very fast.
Pokémon Go may become costly for some users. Since the game has microtransactions and requires data, some children and adults may end up spending a lot of money by playing this apparently free game.
Pediatricians do not recommend spending more than two hours a day looking at a screen. However, some Pokémon Go players spend many more hours a day on their phones due to this game.

People exercise while looking for pokemons. Since you have to walk and go to different places in order to catch the pokemons, you get fit. Many people walk many km just to find a rare pokemon.
New friendships can be made while playing this game. While you´re walking in the city searching for pokemons, or battling with a random player´s pokemon, you can socialize with others and, before you realize, you have made a new friend.
As many people walk to catch different pokemons, they can reach places they had never visited before and learn about the city.
CONS
This game can be also very dangerous. If you are walking in the streets and the only thing you pay attention to is your screen, you can get into a dangerous zone and might be robbed or kidnapped.
Some people play this game while they are driving, although they shouldn´t. This can provoke a serious accident. These people might run over a person, or even crash into a building or a tree.
This game can get so addictive and vicious for some people, that they don´t even pay attention to their family, friends and of what is happening around them.
