Huh. And here I am silencing my phone while i play in public places so that I'm not seen as "idiotic and pathetic" (literally what my sister said about the game.) Although I stand with the fact that I don't advertise playing Pokemon Go because I already look like a target, I don't want anything more adding to a perception of me being the kind of precious little girl that gets hassled under the name of supposedly flirting.

A target? Precious little girl? Hassled under supposed flirting?

I don't follow what any of that has to do with Go or how you reached those topics from it.

And screw your sister. If you want to play it, play it, and nuts to her and what she thinks, because she obviously doesn't think much.

I'm running into a lot of "You're playing a game for little children" from people who have no idea how impacted my generation was by Pokemon. I already look a good decade younger than I am, which means I'm often on the receiving end of unwelcome advances from creepers who think I'm a naive little girl. I literally got scolded yesterday by a complete stranger for doing something that, having reasoned it out as an adult, I did completely correctly (not that said person had time to be interested in listening to my reasoning, they just assumed I was being stupid). It's not the first time. So on the whole I don't like to add to anyone's perception of me being child-like.

What's so crazy about the 'game for little children' argument is that Go wasn't marketed primarily to little children in the first place. The original announcement commercial featured more adults than kids by some measure. It played on 90s nostalgia first and foremost.

Obviously they want kids to play it too, and there'd be nothing wrong with adults playing with it if it WERE marketed first and foremost to little kids, but the Pokemon Company is fully aware of the sway and popularity Pokemon has with millennials.

Screw 'em. Don't live by their uptight rules.
