No. Both my kids got the app, but I asked my daughter not to go around our house looking for Pokemon fearing possible privacy concerns. My daughter found a Pokemon in her bedroom. I do hope she caught it as I don't want to have to call pest control. A Pokemon infestation is no laughing matter, and you know you're in trouble when you delete the app but the Pokemon remain.

not interested at all. believe it or not, my cellphone is 13 years old, and Friede and I were very reluctant to get one at all. I very rarely use it, only for very important calls and only because there are hardly any public phones anymore. and I definitely don't need all that knickknack of modern cellphones or even i-pads; all I want is to be able to make a necessary call when I am not at home.
our kids who are 14 meanwhile consider us to be completely outdated in that regard, and of course they are always up-to-date with technology, and they have Pokemon Go as well.
for some reason people believe they have to be available all the time, and a third of the population have the phantom ringing syndrome. I can live without that

Still don't have a smart phone. I paid 20$ for a prepaid phone that came with 10k minutes with a time limit of 3 years. I really don't think that I was supposed to get this many minutes, I think that it was a glitch or something, but I've been living with it for over a year now. It's a struggle to use, but I'll deal with it for that price. Every month I buy 3-4 CDs and justify it to myself because nearly everyone I know spends 60-100$ a month on there 4G smartphones. All that said, I'd probably play it if I did have a smartphone. Just isn't worth the expense for me.
Funny true story about this cheap flip-phone. I was out fishing in my kayak, stopped and hopped out into knee deep water to relieve myself. After I'm done, I look down and see my phone under the water. Bend over and pick it up, works perfectly. 20 freakin dollars, gotta love it.

^ Hmm, yes, that must be it. Me too. Though I fear trying and liking it.
Nah.

No. I'm too busy playing Platinum, planning on moving on to Alpha Sapphire and obsessing over comparing the differences between three copies of Thick As A Brick. Even if I wasn't, I can't play it because I think my phone isn't properly equipped to make it run properly.

nope, not interested one bit. Honestly, at this point, I am finding a nuisance because I'll go out with friends and all they care about is catching that damn pokemon like Hello! I thought we were hanging out.

No, it looks like one of those things where the novelty wears off quickly. All the fear of it from the news is actually more entertaining.

I've played for a week or so and uninstalled a few days ago because I found it a bit boring after a while. I don't live in an area with lots of pokemon either.
