Real street - Pretend Pokemon

The hot new game is Pokémon Go. It uses your phone’s GPS & camera screen to detect where you are & to make Pokémon "appear" around you (on your phone screen). As you move around, different types & more Pokémon appear. The idea is to move around the real world & catch Pokémon in the game. This combination of a game and the real world interacting is known as "augmented reality."

So while looking at the real world through your phone, a pretend character suddenly appears & you are supposed to capture him. Good? Bad? Okay?  What are your thoughts, concerns, etc... Can it make "video game kids" cool?
