Yes, I'm late, but Pokemon Go started giving warnings, saying things after loading such as “Don't play Pokemon Go whilst driving” or “Don't enter dangerous areas whilst playing” pushing players to stay safe and be aware of their surroundings so thats good.
@@NikoKyunKyun yea that is true, they engage players to walk (still not the most safe) but never to while driving so if a player does that it is there own fault, and as Matthew said driving while using the phone in general is bad so just one phone app is not exactly the reason

If someone causes a car crash because they’re texting while driving, it’s their fault. If someone causes a car crash because they were playing a game on their phone it’s still their fault. It’s the persons decision to play it or not; the game isn’t forcing them into playing the game and “causing deaths.”
MATHANABA Any sane rational human being will know these things can't account for broken people that already have problems. P.S. "Humans are known for being stupid sometimes"
MATHANABA well their stupidity shouldn't be a reason with getting away with dumb things, i mean why would be distracted while driving or distracted while walking outside be ok if your playing a game? to me it's a pathetic excuse to be an idiot.
Since starting Pokémon Go I've lost over 7 stone (98lbs or 44.4kg) along with a balanced diet, I could have given ol' Fat Pat a run (well, bouncy waddle) for his money! I'd definitely say that the game has added a few years to my life. Now I better stop typing this reply on my phone... have to cross this busy roa
Same here man. Kinda disapointed that it's so much. Maybe like some variations or something can cut down the price, or not.... I really wish I could get one.
If there were a Game Theory hoodie and a Firestar shirt, I would have to choose, unfortunately, because they would both most likely be expensive. Oh and also because I only have so much space to hide my nerdy clothes.
Yea, there's a warning when you open it saying "pay attention to your surroundings". This is just people being ignorant, which will always happen. Edit: not saying the game is bad or should be banned because of this, just pointing it out.
casinos and chigarretes still has warnings but they made them illigal for non-adults. i am not saying i dont agree with you, i am just saying that this is a double standart and you really CANT blame all these things if the person is stupid and use them in a way that he is destroying himself. "hey this game kills people because they are ignorant, lets ban it" "hey this game makes people lose money and then they are left with nothing because they are ignorant, lets ban it"
13:22 OMG Scribblenaut scientist no way. I just redownloaded that game and have been playing it obsessively for the past month. So many nostalgic memories......
And the funniest part: None of those deaths are the fault of Pokemon GO. The players are responsible with their own safety. The app can't monitor their environment to keep them safe. All the app can do is to give warnings and remind them from time to time. So Pokemon GO actually saved lives more than it took lives, because it didn't kill anyone in the first place. It's your own stupidity and carelessness if you get injured while playing.
Selin Naz Sur honestly I'd have to agree. sure Pokémon go can get a bit weird when you play it in its real adictive spots and something weird happens while you play it (like someone's favorite Pokémon popping up on their grave, or somebody playing it in a hospital), but technically it's your own fault if you get hurt while playing. plus, one of the loading screens on the app says to be careful and check your soroundings.
Correct, the game regularly will tell you if you're moving too fast and ask if you're a passenger in a vehicle. If you choose to play and drive, YOU are choosing to make that decision, the game has to just accept that you're being honest when you say you're not driving. If you play with at least one other person, ride to a location together and have the passenger hold both phones, it's not hard to do.
@@ghost_deaths1 yes, deaths counter is for US only. But walking counter is for whole world (and also including people who did not walk but ride in their car or by bus or train or any other non-healthy way). Joy bose means that when you count deaths against saved lives you should count both either for one country or for whole world
And also, it doesn't "save" lives. It may extend their life span, and may give them a better quality of life, but it doesn't actually save lives in that way.
When you and another person are almost identical when it comes to the demographics that you’re in so you comment on their comment cause like most people you see things from your point of view so you think you’re special. I smell like beef.
I don't know how people are so blind, I can read and walk and not bump into anything. In fact I've come to a quick and full stop so I didn't run into somebody multiple times, I also have a lot of spacial awareness
Lester004 Playz Pokemon go doesn't trigger anything, blaming injury and death on Pokemon go is stupid when you take into account that it's human choice to play while driving or to trespass, etc. Playing the game doesn't do anything unless you choose to do so under the wrong circumstances. Not looking where you go is your fault, not the game
i felt the exact same thing... posted my jab comment bout how he pretty much baits fans into overpriced hoodies for a cheap chance on some token he made.
Oh ya this also reminds me of the time when he was talking about the Amibo and the supposed “Amibo shortages” and now he said that the jackets “Were sold in less than 24 hours.” Coincidence? I think... that I don’t know.
*"MatPat is not a doctor medical professional.

It is not the game killing them it is their own stupidity. The game doesn't force you to drive while playing it actually warns you about it. Also you don't have to stare at the screen 100% of the time while waking.
PikaPunch Gamer Exactly. I'm sick of people blaming games for the stupidity of others. Especially when the game takes steps to ensure that you are playing safely
True, but the lives saved is arguably saving people from stupidity (since they could be walking those steps anyway, but don't). So it's exploiting stupidity vs. saving from stupidity.
Ok all this is caused by humans. The app tells people to stop and look out and most things within the app csn't be done unless u are near it, so all the deaths, and everything is caused by people being stupid to not put the game down. For example u fail a test that u knew about for 3 weeks, not because the test is on things u was never taught but because U didn't study. Who's fault is it the test or u, the answer...u. This is just like the game people know it's dangerous to play and drive and play or anything like that but they still do anyway.
The super fast talking during the intro: Matpat is not a licensed doctor or medical professional please consult your actual physician for medical advice concerning weight loss. Side effects of Pokémon Go include getting hit by cars, falling into ditches, trouble with local authorities, bodily harm, and lack of situational awareness in general. Pokémon Go may or may not actually kill you. Pokémon Go is deadly! I repeat: Pokémon Go is deadly! Please help me get out of here my family has been kidnapped and I’m being held here against my will. *ROLL INTRO*
I’m sure there have been car accident deaths caused by Pokémon go but!, the majority of deadly car accidents are caused by people going above 55mph and since you need to be going 15mph or less to get pokestops and Pokémon I’m guessing the amount of deaths caused by Pokémon go car accidents is substantially lower than 176
Narrator: Coming soon to Nintendo Switch. The game you've all been waiting for... Pokémon Stop. (You can also play on the go but we know you won't do it) So stay in your home, sit on your couch, grab your favorite snack and turn on that big screen because (you won't get up any time soon) here comes *Pokémon Stop*
Matpat is not a licensed medical professional but some side effects of Pokémon go may include getting hit by cars, falling into ditches, and trouble with local authorities
Except in the case of cars, dumb people have a tendency to take unwilling participants along for the ride too... And I don't think you can stop people from doing it either, the only solution I can see to fixing stupid are self driving cars.
Eve Edena So, killed by playing the game is stupidity and not the game itself? Game's are known for being an addiction, making it harder to stop, don't leave this one out just because you are biased.
Helper Onie67 isn't that also stupidity? I mean if you know something is hurting you wouldn't it be common sense to stop? Idk man that's how I think about this kind of things.
Mini Nuke no they're still sixty something dollars in Australian currency. Usually by converting to Australian money the price actually goes up. I don't know where you got ten dollars from 😂
I'd really like to see someone do a follow-up study on those car accidents and deaths by accident. My first thought is that since accidents caused by Go would likely be very low speed (since you can't play at high speeds), the rate of death would be significantly lower than in the average car accident where there is likely to be more force behind the crash. Of course that's not taking into account the speed of other potential vehicles involved in the crash, but still...
The people who died in the accidents didnt have 79 years of life remaining. so you should have taken the average age of the people in the pokemon go accidents in account.
I calculated that with an average age of 42 the number of lost years is 6864. This is worth 86 newborn lives against the 22 saved lives. So Pokemon Go still killed more people than it saved. Especially because you should consider that mainly young people play it, so the average age of death through Pokémon Go should be lower than 42 :(
Keep in mind that the paper he is basing this whole theory on, one that he already stated in the video is biased, compares an /average/ with true data. If there were 2500 accidents in 2014, and 3500 accidents in 2015, the county's average would be 3,000. If in 2016, there were 3,250 crashes, technically, there is a difference of 250 crashes. But what is also true, is that there were 250 LESS deaths than the previous year. Because of this, the way the data is presented could tell a completely different story. To add to this, there were so many variables unaccounted for in this theory, that it's honestly a disgrace to statistics. Taking data from a single county in Indiana and extrapolating it to the ENTIRE USA is completely silly. The extrapolation didn't account for weather, regional differences, or any other thing that may impact the data. Of course there will be more Pokemon GO related crashes in a county with winding hills and unpaved roads, since it requires a lot more attention to drive on them, where as in the middle of Texas, where roads can go straight for miles at a time, it's much less likely that someone distracted by an app would get into an accident. This theory is a massive reach and honestly feels like Matthew is trying to milk Pokemon for its popularity again.
Additionally, he's not factoring in the people who died into his data. The people who died while playing Pokemon GO themselves have an impact on the data. If a person was shot while trespassing playing Pokemon GO, that person was probably a lot more likely to commit a crime such as trespassing without the game. A person with that sort of lifestyle likely doesn't have a lifespan average of 79 years (like Matthew claims in his theory). If 50 people died while playing Pokemon GO who had an estimated lifespan of 30 years, that would skew the data A LOT. These are all things that must be considered when researching a topic, and Matthew has decided to completely ignore them. The video idea on its own is an extremely poorly thought out one, as it's almost impossible to gather the data required to form a proper conclusion. TL;DR: Matpat's bad at statistics this theory is bogus.
Nice video. But to be fair there is one point you didn't acknowledge . if you already count in fraction of lifes then technically a fatal car accident doesn't kill 1life. Since the person probably allready lived maybe 20% of his/her life..
Well not really, since the items actually seem to be of really good quality. As a person previously commented on another person's comment about the same thing: comparing this to other e.g. hoodies, with embroidery, etc., it's a fair price and actually not that expensive at all. Also because they have to customize each hoodie, it will cost time and effort.
Sharko Boi that’s really not that bad for them. Walk into any name brand store like Nike and you’ll find hoodies (not sure about jackets) for way more than that.
It's not the game's fault, it's the users fault for being an idiot and not paying attention to their surroundings. The game itself HAS no ability to kill people. It's just easier to pass the blame to something else than taking responsibility for your own actions.
Kevtendo agreed 100% they even give warnings in the beginning “do not play Pokémon Go and drive” and “do not trespass while playing Pokémon Go”. Come on, people, you are responsible for your own safety!
My comment was not for Matt Patt, but for the people who actually believe it's the game's fault and refuse to accept any other explanation out of ignorance.
70,000 crashes happen in my small town in Arkansas every month. Not due to Pokemon go because I'm the only player here, but because people here literally cannot drive
Or, ya know, some people could look up from their phones while walking every once in a while, and NOT use it while driving. But I mean, it's phones we're talking about here. Most of these people can't go without em
TheStupendousGofer I know that whenever I play Pokémon go, I leave the app open and walk normally, and I only check it when I feel it vibrate from a new Pokémon appearing.

Get out of my life, you are on mostly every video I go on.
**insert I see you everywhere comment**
When you and another person are almost identical when it comes to the demographics that you’re in so you comment on their comment cause like most people you see things from your point of view so you think you’re special. I smell like beef.
actually, that kind of is. and kind of depressing as well.
I clicked on this expecting to see people walking of cliffs while playing Pokémon go
I would watch that
He isn't the idiot who we don't speak his name
I don't know how people are so blind, I can read and walk and not bump into anything. In fact I've come to a quick and full stop so I didn't run into somebody multiple times, I also have a lot of spacial awareness
"Side effects of Pokemon Go includes getting hit by car" -MatPat
When I clicked on this the I got an ad that was for Pokémon Go. 😂😂
Lol
Me to
WOW
Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Pokémon GO doesn’t kill people. Stupidity kills people.
Lol What's the difference.
Guns Don't Kill Either... If They Could Then They'd Own America By Now
Like a gun doesn't kill people, the person does
Lester004 Playz Pokemon go doesn't trigger anything, blaming injury and death on Pokemon go is stupid when you take into account that it's human choice to play while driving or to trespass, etc. Playing the game doesn't do anything unless you choose to do so under the wrong circumstances. Not looking where you go is your fault, not the game
Robert Palmer Dude Chill Out A Bit He's Already Out Numbered.
The way MatPat is trying to see the hoodies at the end reminds me of the way he explained how loot boxes get you addicted.
i felt the exact same thing... posted my jab comment bout how he pretty much baits fans into overpriced hoodies for a cheap chance on some token he made.
E.g. "LAST CHANCE!"
He's taught us too much
Yeah i said something about it awhile back in an old video
Oh ya this also reminds me of the time when he was talking about the Amibo and the supposed “Amibo shortages” and now he said that the jackets “Were sold in less than 24 hours.” Coincidence? I think... that I don’t know.

Well getting killed and people die when they are killed
Fire puppies if i think thats a reference to what i think it is. It better not be.

What happened to the "SUPER AMAZING END CARD TOURNAMENT" 's, i really liked those...
ShadowDested i think they went away because many people hated them and called him fake or something like that
But they were super amazing; how could anyone hate that?
blarg2429 i know man, people just being sheep and following the hate bandwagon
It is not the game killing them it is their own stupidity. The game doesn't force you to drive while playing it actually warns you about it. Also you don't have to stare at the screen 100% of the time while waking.
PikaPunch Gamer Exactly. I'm sick of people blaming games for the stupidity of others. Especially when the game takes steps to ensure that you are playing safely
True, but the lives saved is arguably saving people from stupidity (since they could be walking those steps anyway, but don't). So it's exploiting stupidity vs. saving from stupidity.
NyanKuriboh it even vibrates when a Pokémon appears, so you don’t have to constantly stare at it
Preach brother.
Let stupidity die. The game supports natural selection
reasons why people like these
the content 15%
matpat 5%
the intro 80%
love you😘
papyrus likes to eat speghetti not die 😂 those people just can’t see the wonder of MatPat, more for us 🤷🏽♀️
Matpat: this shirt will make you look thin!
Me: I'll take like 8
Wow. More people go outside = more people getting injured and dieing. Whata cowinkydink.
*Heres Matpat at the end* "Yay more rattatas..." *slowly loses it*
Ok all this is caused by humans. The app tells people to stop and look out and most things within the app csn't be done unless u are near it, so all the deaths, and everything is caused by people being stupid to not put the game down. For example u fail a test that u knew about for 3 weeks, not because the test is on things u was never taught but because U didn't study. Who's fault is it the test or u, the answer...u. This is just like the game people know it's dangerous to play and drive and play or anything like that but they still do anyway.
ShadgetatheHedgehog true
Yeah, it's basically natural selection at this point.
Boom duh pshhhhh
lol i saw this bumper sticker that said "so i guess pencils make writing mistakes and spoons make people fat." thought of this as i was reading
Wonder how many lives it has saved by making suicidal introverts come out, meet some people, and socialize until their depression is lessened...
The super fast talking during the intro:

*ROLL INTRO*
PacBeast Playz 😂 Thanks!
Just put it to 0.5x speed
If you puase the video you can read what it says also.
I’m sure there have been car accident deaths caused by Pokémon go but!, the majority of deadly car accidents are caused by people going above 55mph and since you need to be going 15mph or less to get pokestops and Pokémon I’m guessing the amount of deaths caused by Pokémon go car accidents is substantially lower than 176
You can just hit the button that say "I'm a passenger"
Cardinal Ftw that was added later into the life cycle of go
Castle of Fiction but pokemon still won't appear if you're moving faster than running pace
just saying, i know people who have gamed-and-drove at least once
Castle of Fiction tapping that button still doesn't allow you to catch pokemon btw if you're moving too fast
I saw a kid at my school wearing a. game theory sweater

It wasn’t caused by the game, it was caused by people being oblivious when playing the game
which means it was TECHNICALLY, the game.

ILikeWaffles I agree
People asked me why I have never played Pokémon, I'll have to refer them to this, if you play Pokémon you die #Confirmed
Matpat is not a licensed medical professional but some side effects of Pokémon go may include getting hit by cars, falling into ditches, and trouble with local authorities
Natural selection matpat... natural selection.... this and tide pods
Cruel reality... but... they are truly dumb. Why would they eat ducking detergent?!
Except in the case of cars, dumb people have a tendency to take unwilling participants along for the ride too... And I don't think you can stop people from doing it either, the only solution I can see to fixing stupid are self driving cars.
Tide Pods are a delicious treat,best complimented with a fine glass of Lemon Pledge.
KyroSkee yes
Pokemon doesn't cause death.
Stupidity does.
Eve Edena ikr
Agreed ignorance killed those people not the game.
Eve Edena ok , that true for sure
Eve Edena So, killed by playing the game is stupidity and not the game itself? Game's are known for being an addiction, making it harder to stop, don't leave this one out just because you are biased.
Helper Onie67 isn't that also stupidity? I mean if you know something is hurting you wouldn't it be common sense to stop? Idk man that's how I think about this kind of things.
Haha don’t worry MatPat, I heard your cry for help in the intro. I’ll save your family!
Lol I saw that and it was hilarious
Hitching a ride here after I couldn't say it fast enough. Hi mom.
Pause the video on 3:57 and you'll see a document file about an old man who got a hearth attack after catching a lapras
When Pokemon GO came out, that first month was like the most peaceful the world ever was or ever will be
GUYS IT’S ALL OK.....
THEY PUT WARNINGS WHEN THE APP STARTS!
So do dish-washing products.
Does not stop the "brave" tide pod munchers.
Superlad72 that's why the players are at fault it's helping natural selection get rid of all the idiots who are to stupid to heed any warnings given.
i don't like that comment
Superlad72 I know! It’s the players at fault! Except when they get mugged. But in that case it’s the mugger’s fault!
Stfu
I honestly forgot about this game
Matpat: But hey we have self driving cars coming soon!
Me in 2021: Not yet bud... Not yet...
But the game warns you!!! It's human error!
It even stops you from doing things while driving!
Also, a little too much variability.
True true
Ye
Craddie 12:42 he says this video was all for fun and less serious
And this is why *self driving cars are gonna save lives*
If made well and correctly ofcourse
I agree with you ( also why am I writing this comment )

YT Pysia ;3 how much are they?
Mini Nuke $64.99
YT Pysia ;3 in America? Because in Australia there only 10 AUS dollars
YT Pysia ;3 HOLY CRAP XD
Mini Nuke no they're still sixty something dollars in Australian currency. Usually by converting to Australian money the price actually goes up. I don't know where you got ten dollars from 😂
At 0:28 slow down your video to .5x speed
YahirTheBeast77 I did it was wired
Amazing
I don’t need to slow down a video to hear sped up audio
Mat pat: please help me I'm being held against my will
I can't help but break it down when the intro comes up 😂.
Edit: Ooooh you gave Arcanine some recognition ;).
I'd really like to see someone do a follow-up study on those car accidents and deaths by accident. My first thought is that since accidents caused by Go would likely be very low speed (since you can't play at high speeds), the rate of death would be significantly lower than in the average car accident where there is likely to be more force behind the crash. Of course that's not taking into account the speed of other potential vehicles involved in the crash, but still...
The people who died in the accidents didnt have 79 years of life remaining. so you should have taken the average age of the people in the pokemon go accidents in account.
Except newborns were driving
I calculated that with an average age of 42 the number of lost years is 6864. This is worth 86 newborn lives against the 22 saved lives. So Pokemon Go still killed more people than it saved. Especially because you should consider that mainly young people play it, so the average age of death through Pokémon Go should be lower than 42 :(
Keep in mind that the paper he is basing this whole theory on, one that he already stated in the video is biased, compares an /average/ with true data. If there were 2500 accidents in 2014, and 3500 accidents in 2015, the county's average would be 3,000. If in 2016, there were 3,250 crashes, technically, there is a difference of 250 crashes. But what is also true, is that there were 250 LESS deaths than the previous year. Because of this, the way the data is presented could tell a completely different story. To add to this, there were so many variables unaccounted for in this theory, that it's honestly a disgrace to statistics. Taking data from a single county in Indiana and extrapolating it to the ENTIRE USA is completely silly. The extrapolation didn't account for weather, regional differences, or any other thing that may impact the data. Of course there will be more Pokemon GO related crashes in a county with winding hills and unpaved roads, since it requires a lot more attention to drive on them, where as in the middle of Texas, where roads can go straight for miles at a time, it's much less likely that someone distracted by an app would get into an accident. This theory is a massive reach and honestly feels like Matthew is trying to milk Pokemon for its popularity again.
Additionally, he's not factoring in the people who died into his data. The people who died while playing Pokemon GO themselves have an impact on the data. If a person was shot while trespassing playing Pokemon GO, that person was probably a lot more likely to commit a crime such as trespassing without the game. A person with that sort of lifestyle likely doesn't have a lifespan average of 79 years (like Matthew claims in his theory). If 50 people died while playing Pokemon GO who had an estimated lifespan of 30 years, that would skew the data A LOT. These are all things that must be considered when researching a topic, and Matthew has decided to completely ignore them. The video idea on its own is an extremely poorly thought out one, as it's almost impossible to gather the data required to form a proper conclusion. TL;DR: Matpat's bad at statistics this theory is bogus.
Hear the disclaimer after Pokemon go in 0.5X it's really worth a try
*slow claps*
Very clever intro
Very clever, MatPat
Nice video. But to be fair there is one point you didn't acknowledge . if you already count in fraction of lifes then technically a fatal car accident doesn't kill 1life. Since the person probably allready lived maybe 20% of his/her life..
$65 for a hoodie?!! $70 for a jacket?!!! Are you insane Matpat? That’s highway robbery
eh, I've seen worse
Well not really, since the items actually seem to be of really good quality. As a person previously commented on another person's comment about the same thing: comparing this to other e.g. hoodies, with embroidery, etc., it's a fair price and actually not that expensive at all. Also because they have to customize each hoodie, it will cost time and effort.
399 chair.
Sharko Boi that’s really not that bad for them. Walk into any name brand store like Nike and you’ll find hoodies (not sure about jackets) for way more than that.
Sharko Boi try 6oz. juice for 7-10$ at some gas stations
It's not the game's fault, it's the users fault for being an idiot and not paying attention to their surroundings. The game itself HAS no ability to kill people. It's just easier to pass the blame to something else than taking responsibility for your own actions.
Kevtendo thank you for saying this! Episode was pissing me off a little
Kevtendo agreed 100% they even give warnings in the beginning “do not play Pokémon Go and drive” and “do not trespass while playing Pokémon Go”. Come on, people, you are responsible for your own safety!
He did kinda say at the end that it is the users fault for using phones while driving. :/ God do people never finish videos these days.
👏👐 clap and half for you
My comment was not for Matt Patt, but for the people who actually believe it's the game's fault and refuse to accept any other explanation out of ignorance.
70,000 crashes happen in my small town in Arkansas every month. Not due to Pokemon go because I'm the only player here, but because people here literally cannot drive
DoramaRx #small-townArkansasSquad
If nobody cant literally drive then why are there traffic accidents?
If everyone who could literally drive got in an accident it could result in deaths or injuries that cause nobody to be able to drive.
It is a Red State that betrayed the Union after all
Christian Dauz yes, what our ancestors did back in the 1800s completely determined that

8:09 Wii fit: I’m still here,but as a ghost
watching this in a car..... yeah
No no
It’s not the game that’s dangerous
It’s the players that are stupid
Flipine Otaku same thing boi
No the game is dangerous, kidnapers mark lures on maps and wait for people to catch the bait
That would still be the kidnappers who are dangerous, not the game. The game itself is safe, as long as you are smart about things.
Yeah, honestly you can't blame the game for killing players when most of those deaths are caused by the players getting distracted.
Flipine Otaku you right
Or, ya know, some people could look up from their phones while walking every once in a while, and NOT use it while driving. But I mean, it's phones we're talking about here. Most of these people can't go without em
TheStupendousGofer I know that whenever I play Pokémon go, I leave the app open and walk normally, and I only check it when I feel it vibrate from a new Pokémon appearing.
That's exactly what I do too. I mean, with the plus, I check what's there, but if it's not worth it, I just leave it up to the watch.
Who the hell kidnapped you bro.... I am sure it's Hypno
