We asked residents what they thought about the latest gaming craze Pokemon Go! Here is what they had to say …
Johnny Mason
It’s this slightly crazy thing that’s taken over the world. I think its quite cool in that it gets people out walking and such, but I think the craze will pass.
Brett Boatenreiter
I think Pokemon Go is a living example of the disconnect between the world’s youth and reality. I think children should learn how to hunt for food instead.
Ross Lelliott
I love Pokemon Go! I get to link up with friends I haven’t hung out with often and play. It’s good old clean fun that transcends gender age and colour.
Aneesa Hamid
It’s lots of fun. It is like childhood all over again. I’m actually playing it right now! I’m most proud of catching a Squirtle because it’s so cute.
Flavio von Sperling
I have no idea how the game works, but I think that by now, everyone knows the name. It has had a very effective marketing campaign.
