Theres seriously a group of 6-7 people in their 20's standing close to my window and they're all talking about how they're catching Pokemons right now.
It's like in the middle of the night here.

I was playing it last night, my Pokecenter is a Rugby Stadium near my house and there were about 20 people there! Caught two Pokemon then my phone died because it eats battery like there's no tomorrow.

most pokemon fans aren't exactly marathon runners
As everyone says. It encurages them to /be/ marathon runners.

But of a Pokémon is somewhere on your map does that mean you dont have to go to exactly where said Pokémon is?

sure it's marketed to say it's encouraging walking, barely anyone walks anyways everywhere i go all i see are middle aged men sitting in their cars playing this fuckin game, not to mention it's got microtransactions that attract pokemon to you so you never have to get off your ass if you give the nips their sweet dosh

ten meter radius (thereabouts?) which is as close as possible imo, gps systems on phones are glitchy as hell and if I had to be right in front of a pokemon to catch it i'd just never be able too.
