"My friend drives the car and I carry the phones to play Pokemon, why can't we do that, no one is in danger?"

I must admit that wasn't a possibility I had thought of, and I can't think of a reasonable workaround... Hmm... That's something I'll have to think about.

I'm not budging on an age limit for the game though. It's simply not safe to be using a game that takes you all over the place if you aren't even old enough to judge what places are safe and when. For all I know, it may already have an age limit (I have not played the game, so really I'm mostly talking out of my ass anyways). But if not, it should have one so we don't have children getting hurt from it. Or at the least, a "child mode" where it disables the features that involve going all over the place.

But yeah, I don't think banning it is the answer. Nor do I think time limits or restrictions are the right thing to do, for reasons like DinkDude mentions (it's just not convenient, and not everyone has free time in that range). Also, like DuckHater mentioned, even if the game is banned, it has already proved what a popular concept it is, and other games will come up just like it. Banning it will solve nothing. People have to learn how to be responsible with it, and anything the game can do to help people be responsible needs to be done.
