This petition is in responds to the ignorance of the Association of American Families. They wish to have Pokemon Go! banned due to the poor choices of people. Pokemon Go! is an app; it does not have the ability to act therefore it is lud to blame it for the actions of people. Lets show our support and want to keep it alive by blowing their petition out the water!

I started this because I just wanted to play my game in peace and I never thought so many people felt the same way. Reading your stories about how you enjoy this app makes me realize this is about way more than just my own hobby.

this is an app its not the problem the problem is people paying more attention to it then whats going on around them. the game says to pay attention to the surroundings around you and they broke the law with the car when the law states no text or being on the phone while driving so its the persons fault not the app
With this game, I have gotten out and walked for at least two hours every night since it's release. It's helped me exercise while not noticing that I'm doing so. It's let me meet new people and spend more time with my friends and family.
Banning this game is ridiculous. Its as bad as trying to ban guns just because a few people out of the whole can't use common sense.
Pokemon Go has done what I used to think was impossible. It's getting kids and adults alike out and about exercising while having fun doing it. Pokemon trainers are socializing, even with complete strangers. It's a really beautiful thing. It's getting people out of their shells and keeping them active. How could anyone want to ban such a beautiful occurrence?
Can't blame the game for the actions of Terrible human beings who prey on the innocent. This game is great and never have I seen anything to get everyone out and about, working together and building friendships due to a game!! Keep it around!!
This game should not be banned for the fact that people are being active. Nintendo has always tried to incorporate some way to get there users to be active. The accidents that have happened due to car wrecks have been due to ignorant people. Also some of the children who have walking in to traffic should've been taught a long time ago to look both ways before you cross the street. This game can be a great thing people can download a charity app for miles walk to help more than just catching pokemon. This game has been bringing people together. Please don't destroy an amazing game
The game makers made a point to tell people tonpay attention to their surroundings. They also made a point to use your phones gps to lay out roads and buildings on its map. Anyone not paying attention to the maps is at fault. Not the game.

I'm Catholic and I do NOT see one problem with this app! Just because people are using it irresponsible doesn't mean it's the apps fault!
