Dangerous to play Pokemon

It is unbelievably silly to believe that these imported games can be safely played in our local realities.

The dangers experienced by players in First World countries are magnified some ten times more because we do not have the conditions for the games here in TT .

Just one example is where we would find our woods/forests in which to play is just plain dangerous.

Even without lurking bandits, snakes and wild animals, it is now hunting season. Who wants to be shot dead playing Pokemon? But there are some of us who believe we must be part of the international games. We want drones to play with despite the obvious possibility of endangering aircraft. Now we want to play Pokemon that will take us to parts of the island we would not normally visit, whether in night or day.

The psychologists say Pokemon players are missing something in their lives. I say that it is just plain foolish to be courting danger.

Pokemon is not like safely sitting in a room playing with Rubik’s Cube. Pokemon can be deadly.
