“It’s an interesting take on a classic favorite — kind of annoying that you have to move around so much though. But it adds a bit of fun walking to class, you can get some exercise."

“It won’t let me play because the username I want is taken.”

“It’s bringing a lot of people together that you wouldn’t usually see outside. It brings people together for a common goal of finding imaginary monsters.”

“It’s the first kind of app that requires you to walk around, and gets you to exercise while playing a game.”

“It’s gonna be crazy when people come back in the fall — 1000 students with their phones out. The people who are powering through all the bugs are gonna be a much higher level by the time everyone is back, so I wonder if those people are still going to want to play.”
