Texas A&M University Health benefits of Pokémon Go

Texas A&M University. (2016, July 15). Health benefits of Pokémon Go. ScienceDaily



The Texas A&M article discusses what Matt Hoffman thought was beneficial from playing Pokemon GO. Although this article does not give any data it did give ways that Pokemon GO can be socially beneficial by making you go out into the community, Pokemon GO also has a community of its own for its players.
This article was posted in July of 2016, the same month that Pokemon GO came out, therefore Hoffman did not play for more time than the game was at its most popular moment. In the article they talk about ways that can improve your experience in Pokemon GO but, he does not talk about the harms of Pokemon GO or how the world was before the game came out.

I need to focus on the harmful parts of Pokemon GO but so far I am only focused on how the game has benefited the world health wise. I also need to find articles that are not made so fresh after the game came out. Compare the results that Hoffman has come up with from playing to the results from “Healthy or Harmful?”
