Yeah i think it's Safe to play in Country's like Poplar River, Riverton, Bloodvein (Those are like places that i don't know...) Not in Winnipeg it's really risky out there... But i don't think it's Safe to go in your Car! Cause when your looking at your Pokemon GO app and both looking at both things you might Crash

Well, Here it is banned. Sucks. It really states it does eat a lot of battery. And you can find pokemon even at supermarkets and even in churches, which explains some people catching pokemon during a funeral.

I don't like that (amongst other things) the only devices you seem to be able to play them on are the ones you need to pay a monthly fee for. I get that you need a GPS in it and 3g/4g for it because the internet needs to be able to track your movements in order for you to be 'in the world' and it can stream the info to your screen, but I have a flip-phone and no tablet because I get paid barely above minimum wage and I live by myself; I cannot afford paying $30 or more a month for something that I would rarely use for anything else (not to mention the 100+ dollars for the device itself). That's like buying XboxLIVE and the system to go with it just to play one game once a week.
And I've seen a few friends and relatives play it. Maybe they're doing it wrong, but it doesn't look all that fun to me. I've seen them button-mash (screen tap. Whatever) their way through a gym fight with the pokemon they're fighting nearly 600 levels ahead of theirs and they walk away victorious using Normal attacks against a Rock type. That's NOT Pokemon! Pokemon involves effort, and paying attention to your enemy's weak points for greater effect. (Ugh, I sound like a fanatical nerd!)
Then you've got people trespassing, loitering, running out into the street without looking and just assuming that the car/truck/whatever WILL stop so they can catch their 'I-can-only-get-this-here', you've got people walking off cliffs (natural selection, there) and others using lures at night to mug people-
It's a mess. It SOUNDS fun when you first hear about it, and most of the fan-community sounds friendly and helpful, but it just isn't worth it in my eyes.
*Sigh* Sorry for the rant.
