why don’t you download it and find out yourself, and if there isn’t just delete it
I cant say for sure, but most houses of worship are pokemon stops (Inlcuding frum ones)
He’s in the BMG Coffeeroom and in the Beren Building
In any case, can someone tell me how to start a new topic for discussion? I must be blind as I do not see that as an option. Thanks.
@DY: thanks.
You’re welcome. I’m anxiously awaiting your first thread.
how much crazier can this generation get R”L?
how many accidents & tragedies are waiting ahead C”V? AS PEOPLE cross the road looking at their phones trying to find pokemon & as they are driving R”L just crazy…. just insane…. why don’t they stop the game before tragedies happen C”V (Some have already happened just 3 weeks after it started)
People were hurting themselves while texting too, should we ban texting?
Wake up texting is part of the phone and is another way to work with people as is email.
Pokemon is a GAME find something better to do with your precious gift of life Hashem have you “uvacharta b’Chaim” still need some game time to relax find a safe and enjoyable game that won’t put your precious life and other lives in danger C”V
may Hashem wake you up to reality and true life soon before you get old and realize how many years of your precious life has gone down the drain like water.
There is nothing dangerous about Pokemon go. There have been some people who have done some foolish things, but people do foolish things in all sorts of ways. If they werent being foolish with Pokemon go, they’d be foolish elsewhere. Some people find it enjoyable and actually its healthier because it makes you walk and get exercise (I do have issues with the game making shuls, yeshivas, etc pokestops or Pokemon Gyms, but that is another issue) and others think its stupid. Do what you find enjoyable.
There was a report recently about people getting killed because they were taking dangerous selfies on such things as a side of a cliff. There is nothing dangerous about selfies, however it is foolish to take one on the side of a cliff
MA,
What do you hope to accomplish when you post here?
“What do you hope to accomplish when you post here?”
I second that question. It really gets annoying after a while
Many times Rabbeim give mussor shmoozes to an audience that they know well and they say things to an audience that they know well. When someone repeats these schmoozes to a different audience they dont translate very well and it backfires .
I dont remmeber all the details, but a big Rav went to a Shiva call of a man who buried his son and said something like how priviledged he was to have had this son for whatever time it was and the father was comforted. Someone nearby heard this and later when to a shiva call under similar circumstances where a man was sitting shiva for his son. Not only was the man not comforted, he made this situation alot worse and people nearby tried to get the man to stop with his “menachem Aveil” and he refused saying he was repeating the Rebbes words.
Just because you heard a schmooze from a Great Rebbe in one situation, doesnt mean you should repeat it in another, It might not translate well and might make things worse
I still have no idea what Pokemon is. Should I put aside my learning to find out?
Mashiach Agent: I couldn’t agree more
Ywnposter,
You haven’t been here too long, have you?
That was sarcastic?
Accoding to onlysimchas BMG is now a Pokemon Gym
i still dont get what pokeman go is. can someone please explain so i know what everyone is talking about?
Pokemon isnt dangerous, people are just idiots.
Remember texting and driving is much older than pokemon.
wannabegood7- google it. Many webpages explain it.
Just to plagiarize from ywnposter, 😉
Pokemon Tragedies continue:
Pokemon Go is an embarrassment to the human race.
Grown adults run to catch imaginary monsters, like a dog running to catch a bone. The dog at least, gets to chew the bone and enjoy its taste, while pokemon go players are left with what, an imaginary monster to add to their collection?
The world is crazy and Pokemon is a distraction.
No RebYidd people are crazy and sadly the real world will not distract them, they closet themselves in a tech blanket and use this alternate “reality” to live their “lives”.
People are not crazy, they are bored with their realilty, this is why they play these fantasy type “online interactive” games. It creates a false new exciting lives for them.
Now, if putting Pokemon in the beis medrash is a way to get someone who otherwise wont go there into it, then I say we capitalize on it and when these poor people come in, invite them for a cup of coffee and tell them a shtickel torah, you never know what can come from it.
Mashiach Agent: Absolutely on target. Did you hear of the guy driving in Baltimore while playing Pokemon and plowing into a parked police car or the people walking off a cliff?
A friend told me that he loves the game because it gets his kids off the couch and walking the streets learning their environment. Sounds good, but people are focused on their phones and not looking where they are going.
Also, BMG allows the “treif” smartphones?
Where the goyim are there is and where the mo people are there are.

It’s a motivation to get out and walk
Whereas goq said

It sounds like the coffee room with the excersize
i think this game was made to get people to have an exercise instead of stay inside all day playing games.
We had some in the Boston Kollel. There were hoards of college students trying to find it outside, but one of the mesifta boys found out that it was actually inside.
With all the tznius issues (college girls, summer) it causes in front of the shul, the community should really take a stand against it with some big posters.
Ptcha
It wanted to learn Torah,
But seriously, you don’t need to be where it is, just as long as it is in the general vicinity
Btw, you mean rabbi beir’s Kollel?
The boys must have been playing it last summer (the game that its based off of). Yes please make sure the pritzius stays out.
“i think this game was made to get people to have an exercise instead of stay inside all day playing games.”
It was made so that nintendo revenues will rise. when the game stops producing revenue (when people get sick of it), they will stop development on the game and focus on their next money making project.
Coffee Addict,
There is no other kollel in Boston.
apushatayid: Nintendo didn’t make the app
I wasn’t clear sure if you meant a Kollel for bostoner chassidim (additionally there are Lakewood kollels outside of Lakewood)
Ywnposter,
The collaborated with niantic
Ywnposter,
How does that explain game boys game
Coffee addict,
What?
which chapter of the damaged society are they trying to fix? socialism? enough people lives are being ruined from fake socialism called facebook, whattsup etc…. that have caused MILLIONS of intermarriages & divorces in klal yisroel. your blessed if you don’t have any of these & much better without them
lol
Honestly as far as apps go Pokemon Go is a very safe and innocent app. There are many incentives to walk around and explore the area you live in. There are ways to get Pokemon by walking and running around. It helps get kids out of the house and doing something a more productive then just sitting in the house playing video games. There has already been noticeable positive effects on some people with depression that play the game.
I do understand that it can be a annoying having Pokestops in some areas, but on the whole this is probably one of the better apps and if you really want to pick a bone with certain apps, there are many more which are much much worse.
YWNPoster. You are correct. Nintendo did not create the game. A company named Niantic created the game under license from Nintendo who owns the Pokemon brand. Nintendo is also a part owner of Niantic which thanks to PokemonGo is now worth in excess of 3 billion dollars.
Ywnposter,
You posted
There was no way to do that on a gameboy
