As cultural phenomena go, the sudden surge of interest in Pokemon GO<\/em>, a new augmented-reality smartphone game, is something that even we didn\u2019t see coming. Drive by any park on any evening in any Wisconsin city, and you\u2019re bound to see countless individuals staring at their screen chasing an animated character that only they can see. Not surprisingly, it has already led to injuries and crimes, so we at EVS Auto Group thought we\u2019d put together a few ways you can play Pokemon GO<\/em> safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Play Pokemon GO<\/em> Safely<\/h2>\n

Play in Areas You Know<\/h3>\n

Earlier this week, there were reports out of Missouri that players were being isolated and robbed while playing Pokemon GO<\/em>. As with most anything, fun for many is ruined by the bad behavior of a few, and this is just further evidence of this. So stay in areas where you\u2019re familiar, don\u2019t venture onto private property, and know which neighborhoods are best to avoid.<\/p>\n

\"PokemonPlay with People that You Know<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s obvious that part of the fun of Pokemon GO<\/em> is interacting and competing with other players, both friends and strangers. However, you don\u2019t want to simply wander off with people that you\u2019ve never met, since this might lead you into areas where you are unfamiliar. It\u2019s better to play with people you know, in spots that you are well-acquainted.

Watch Where You\u2019re Going<\/h3>\n

With Pokemon GO<\/em>, we\u2019ve got masses of people walking aimlessly, staring at their phones, and not really looking around. What could go wrong, right? Well, kind of a lot. You could walk into other people, you could run into solid objects, you could wander right into traffic. (We\u2019ve seen this happen.) So even while you\u2019re playing, it\u2019s important to keep stock of your surroundings whenever possible.

Don\u2019t Poke and Drive<\/h3>\n

You\u2019d like to believe that this doesn\u2019t happen, but that is unfortunately not the case. Even when drivers are heading to one of the \u201cPoke-stops\u201d (yes, they\u2019re really called that), they\u2019ve generally got the app loaded and ready on their phone. This is dangerous in and of itself. So don\u2019t look for Pokemon as you\u2019re driving, since this is every bit as reckless as texting and driving.
\nIt\u2019s a little bizarre that a family of auto dealerships would have to impart safety advice regarding a smartphone game, but that\u2019s how unbelievably popular Pokemon GO<\/em> has become. We hope that these tips serve you well, that you come see us soon at EVS Auto Group<\/a>, and that you catch all the Pikachu and Meowth you can handle!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
