It's fun! I've been playing it for a while now (I live in Sweden) and I'm glad that it's finally out in Singapore. Sure, it looks like a child's game but there's alot of strategy, creativity and math involved. In fact, my partner who is a Math teacher, is planning to include Pokemon Go in his lessons. Plus, I especially love that you need to walk around outside to be successful in the game. This is great for kids and adults who are often at home and not active. In the States, I've read that overweight players of Pokemon Go have lost some weight because of the walking around. It really is good exercise -- yesterday me and my partner went for a picnic and played Pokemon Go, ended up walking for 5km (to crack the Pokemon egg hahaha). I definitely think that Pokemon Go is great for kids to play for all the reasons above. BUT I wouldn't let the younger kids play unsupervised because it can be quite dangerous for them to walking around alone. Lots of my friends play the game with their kids, and even the grandparents play. It can be a fun family affair. So Pokemon Go is a major yay for me (in moderation, of course) --- :)
