Just my two cent...

Yesterday i was walking in a square. There was a lot of young people, but i remained surprised by a lot of teens that plays as older addicted gambler. I think this game could be the first step for show the potential risk to became addicted from gambling and i suggest to parents to take a look about this kind of problem. I think that a 17 year's old boy first need to think about girls, disco, soccer

I am not sure why gambling has anything to do with Pokemon Go because the only thing that then two have incomen is that with both games are involves.
Gambling is something else and even older people play Pokemon Go and are not addicted to gambling.

I won't exactly phrase it like that. Here the analogy is incorrect. While it is an addiction, it isn't an addiction to gambling. Addiction infact could be to anything (drugs, procarastination,pokemon,collecting,gambling) etc. Not all addictions are bad, but pokemon go is just a non-productive addiction. Its just not gambling.

I dunno why Pokemon Go could be the first step for show the potential risk to became addicted from gambling...

Could you please explain more OP, as I didn't know about that game much

[pedrog]

Dude, Pokemon Go is not the first addicted game ever, since there are video games there have been addicts.

There was a time in my life when I played counter Strike at least 5 hours a day, there were days I played for 12 hours.

this is not new at all , such addiction exists since long time and it's not a big problem I guess
people used to be addicted to candy crush a couple of years ago  it's a normal but such addiction don't last for long time cause people will be bored soon and they will leave the game

[btckold24]

like many others here i'm not really seeing the correlation between pokemon and gambling. Addiction to anything
is bad even coffee.  I definitely think Pokemon is just a phase and soon the idea of hunting and walking around and
doing all this random stuff for no real goal will subside and die eventually just like the macarana.

I can't believe how popular that Pokemon Go game is, there are literally men in their 30's playing it, obsessed with it. All a bit weird if you ask me, fine for kids but I think it's strange adults play it.

Kids don't have a car to go hunt pokemons in cool places, they can't afford spending 100 euros in Pokecoins, they don't have mobile connections with enough data.

Plus, it's good for people to exercise and spend more time in the outdoors.

I think that when a person spends most of his time chasing a game, this type of action becomes a disease. In all of this Pokemon go could indicate an initial tendency toward to exaggerate in the game that over time could result in the first step to became a gambler.

What!? This is like saying "I caught a Pokemon now I'm completely a gambler." When I saw the title of this thread, I was like "Uhm, okay. Is there money involved in Pokemon Go and can you bet on battles? Let me check real quick."

OP's point is still unclear to me due to his not-so-good-English. But this is how I pictured it: People are betting on Pokemon battles. Not sure why would people bet on battles in Pokemon Go because Pokemon players all know that each element is weak/strong against an element or two. Pro players would always win on this type of betting game because by knowing the element and the gap etween the levels of two Pokemons, you would easily know which one would win.

When pokemon first released it got all the childrens attention, was like a storm. (Im one of those children)But we are not gamblers, dangerous or addicted to smt right now. I personally just play PS or PC games. Its okey bro, dont worry about them. Theyll just be fine

Sorry for Bad english first. My post is not about spendig money in Pokemon Go, but is related to the time that a lot of people spend in cathcing pokemon. I only would say that if sameone spend a lot of time for follow a game, it's could be a first step of gambling addiction.

It might be the first step towards addiction but not necessarily gambling addiction IMO. Unless Pokemon Go has added a betting feature which isn't that good (I explained this above.) If money is involved in Pokemon Go, it might lead to gambling addiction but today's version of Pokemon Go doesn't have that.

Or an explorer...

Or any other stuff...

i don't think that pokemon go have to do anything with gambling, as there are no gambling  in this game at all, you can buy premium money in game but that's not gambling

Hi all

I'm not informed about game actually, but have some feeling it will be huge. Does someone know how hard is to get rear  pokemon can everyone get them or there is only few of them around globe?

Just wander is there potential for trading accounts or pokemons
