Just imagine someone getting into a bio-hazardous area.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which teams are controlling the gyms at the parks?

My boys just left on an adventure to find Pokemon ( they went down to the river near where we live). I can't imagine taking time to do this in the parks, but to each his own!

Playing this game at the parks would be 100x better if they played the Goldenrod City music loop through the speakers around the parks.

Personally, I'd prefer Rustboro City

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I'm from upstate South Carolina.... The only pokestops that exist around my area are churches........ EVERY. SINGLE. CHURCH. Lucky for me, there's a church around every corner. Go South Carolina!

Now I understand exactly why this was needed... http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions...devices-in-the-parks-with-fuelrod-kiosks.htm\
I am curious.... will people get as ed off when somebody bumps into them while playing a game while walking through WDW as they do when someone with a ECV or stroller hits them?
Really, you are at WDW... enjoy the parks! Is everyone attention span that short that they need to do this while walking around the parks?

I've heard about it and honestly have no idea what this is all about.
After reading this thread....I have even less idea? I guess I'm just a young old fart and don't see the attraction to chasing digital creatures on my phone around a real life theme park that I paid a bunch of money to get into.
But if it's your thing...then knock yourself out.
It's basically the closest thing we've got to the 90s childhood dream of "What if Pokemon were real and I could travel on my own quest to catch them all?". But you know, with connection issues out the wazoo and tons of battery drainage.

I think you have to have grown up playing it to fully understand why people are going mad for it. But its actually a really clever idea and I can see it being addictive for a newcomer as well. I agree that one should enjoy the parks but apart of me just wants to see what pokemons are lurking at the parks
I seriously just want to catch a pokemon at the japan pavillion in Epcot...

yea, thats where I think i loose it more...I was a pre-Poki kid, I grew up in the Nintendo Duck Hunt, Original Mario Bros and Mike Tyson Punch out times. So the lingo in this thread is well over my head. I never understood or got into the Poki craze.
Agreed, and that was kind of part of my post as well. We (and our kids) already are sucked into our smart phones and not paying attention to people around them ....and all the while at this amazing theme park built to be looked at.
That said, I do really love Virtual and Augmented Reality. I think its really the future of smart computing and has awesome capabilities. So to that, this looks very cool. I just never understood Poki, so the concept is lost on me.

I feel the same way, plus it would have my battery dead by 10am. I think if we're (my husband and I) still playing it when we go in October, we might just break it out when we have free time between FPs or waiting for meals. I don't want to be walking around with my face in my phone though :/

It isn't about attention span. People judge the stuffing out of me because I sit in the parks to read. I live here. It's extremely relaxing to find a good spot to read. I also fully intend to play this when I'm next in the park. It's fun. That doesn't mean that Disney is -not- fun. It means I have 365 day access to these parks but this game is new. Unless someone is on their phone during an attraction or performance, leave them alone and enjoy your vacation. I assure you, they're having a good time too.

Im in the same boat (just moved about 15 mins away from MK), and I also find it a nice place to come and find a nice bench to relax on, do some people watching, take photos, grab a snack, collect pokemon
