It is pitiful seeing man children walking around playing Pokémon go, amirite?

It better than sitting down, and can involve bursts of running. I'm not saying it's a great form of exercise but it's not nothing. Parts of the game involve standing but other parts require walking.

Does walking around burn more calories than standing and sitting? Yes or no.

What do you do for fun, OP? Actually let me rephrase that. What hobbies does your wife allow you to have?

I weight lift before work, work a full time job I've had for 18 years, help my kids with their sports, make food, clean the house, do conditioning workouts afternoon and cold plunge, drive my kids to their sporting events, tuck them in to bed, manage our finances, repair house, cars, and rental property. Things adults that aren't playing Pokémon do.

I love how you were asked what you for fun, and you list off chores that adults have to do. You could have just said exercise, if that's what you actually do for fun.

by No-Sheepherder 4 days ago

I consider it all fun because its part of what I get to do as a parent.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather go for a casual walk with these Pokebros than sit with you while you do your finances. It's harmless, silly fun. On par with watching a kids movie.

If only they had kids.

some people don't want kids, not everyone needs to have kids

They might. Having children does not somehow make your hobbies impossible. Just need to plan them out around your responsibilities. Taking an example from my own life, I play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends after the kids go to bed. Sitting around a table pretending to be a wizard is as silly as it gets, but it's fun. I'm certain if you think hard you too will have something you like doing that someone else will consider odd or childish.

So you don't have fun? All that stuff sounds like either you're not doing it for yourself or chores. Maybe you should play some Pokémon go.

OK so don't have any hobbies. Good to know.

What you're doing is expected as a father and a husband.. which is providing for your family, looking after them and your body. But you didn't answer the question, these aren't hobbies.

by Past_Technician_7028 4 days ago

so y'know these adults have to do a lot of these things as well... they also just do their hobby

My dad plays video games fairly often, he's played the same mobile game for years, he has played pokemon go before, literally what is the problem? People can have a hobby and have children

What is your concern with them doing it as their source of entertainment and use of time?

by Altruistic_Pay1412 4 days ago

It doesnt affect me at all, I get it. More just trying to understand the logic. By 6th grade I became uninterested in video games and instead wanted to pursue physical activity. These people are in CLEAR need of physical exercise, and sorry dont try to say theyre getting it by walking around playing Pokémon go. I just see people complaining about how expensive everything is but when I was 24 I was dating my future wife, got married by 26, house by 26, kid by 28, focusing on the future with my health, finances, and kids. These man kids are concerned if they catch mewtew. If it isnt at all a red flag to you about a greater problem then I imagine you've caught them all.

You said that you found it a bigger concern - so what about their behavior concerns you? Here is what you said "But its such a bigger concern to me seeing late 20s using this as their source of entertainment and use of time." Is it that they find it fun?

by Altruistic_Pay1412 4 days ago

Your measuring your life against others (The part about at what age you were at doing things). Life's not a race. Good on you if that's what you wanted to do in life, but for a lot of people, that doesn't - or can't - happen.

someone hurt you as a child and its okay for you to go to therapy to heal whatever it is that makes you feel like other people having hobbies is a concern.

Would you rather them use alcohol as a source of entertainment and knowingly or unknowingly harm their family like in the days of yesteryear?

by lemkeemilie 3 days ago

why do you care about someone enjoying something? Why do you care about how people use their free time? Just let people enjoy their life. "But its such a bigger concern to me seeing late 20s" who cares? it's their life, pokemon is the biggest media franchise of all time yes of course adults like pokemon.

by Anonymous 3 days ago

It's actually pitiful seeing adults making fun of other adults hobbies. Maybe if you had more of a life you'd be less concerned with how other people spend their free time

There are a lot of pokemon chicks and hence a lot of couples. A lotta guys would rather play a better game, but they like having a GF.

by Anonymous 3 days ago

let people have their fun, life's hard enough without judging someone for catching Pokémon. At least they're out walking and not just rotting on the couch.
