Chasing Pokemons on your mobile phone has become extremely popular. Should people do it in certain unique places? Museum of Holocaust and Auschwitz Museum criticise the game producers for using their premises. It is inappropriate, they claim. On the other hand, fans claim that chasing Pokemons is beneficial as it allows gamers to get acquainted with such places of historical interest.

Some of the problems that are happening in my local area are groups of people are walking around city streets with their attention riveted to their phone and end up walking in front of cars, etc.
Some creepy-type perverts are going where young kids are congregating and playing the game.
A local college has banned non-student people from coming on their campus to play.

Jeannne/Bo,
There were accidents in the Netherlands due to this Pokemon Go - Chasing Pokemons game. Kids and even some adolescents were hit by cars, motorbikes or fast driving cyclists.
People today are so focussed on their cell phones that they don't monitor and realise the environment they are in.
Cheers, Pieter
