Today was a community day for Pokémon Go. There's a feature where you can use AR to take a picture of a Pokémon for a bonus spawn, and I've also encountered some areas where my phone only registers me as being close to a Pokestop if I point my phone at certain way.

Is there a Pokémon Go gym nearby? Parks are popular areas for this digital game, and one way to interact is to scan the area where the gym is with your camera. I'm glad you trusted your gut and are alert, good work mama.

They were probably playing Pokémon go.

This one ☝🏿 is from /u/danceswithpibbles :marseytrans:

2pm-5pm everywhere, there was the once-a-month "Community Day" that you get bonuses for snapping a quick pic with your Pokemon. Requires you to have your phone up and taking a pic.

It's super awkward to do, I personally hate it, in case anyone is staring at me thinking I'm a kidnapper or something because I'm out playing a game that specifically tries to make you go out to your local parks and play and walk your neighborhoods.

I'm just glad I have my kids with me when we're all playing, I feel bad for people playing solo and apparently seem super shady while playing a mobile phone game.

>yeah it's creepy and I feel like a predator doing it but I'm sure this random dude was just trying to catch pokemon too so it's ok :carpmagikarp:

The comments become much more reasonable after that, politely calling OP an idiot for worrying about worrying, but they get far less engagement.

What do you think rDrama?

taking pictures of kids

playing a 10 year old mobile game

If a video game told me to take some pictures of somebody else's kids I would choose to not do that.

Neither Zelda, nor GTA has ever asked me to do anything even close to that. I dont even leave my house(generally) to play those games. Pokemon is sinister, I never liked it.

Bait sub idea: /r/PlaygroundPhotos

Let's take pictures of random children outside and post them on the sub under the pretense of cool photos, but in comments talk about them in more explicit ways and pretend to be transsexuals for good measure

What could possibly go wrong :marseyclueless:
