The game has been doing a lot of good, such as a girl who found a dead body which helped the authorities on a murder mystery. As the OP pointed out. It's helping people make friends.
It's also doing some not so good with a legion of idiots. I've stories (rumors) about people barging into buildings and even Churches to catch Pokémon. I've seen a majority of pictures online where we see dashboards and side mirrors. A lot of people are driving and playing Pokémon Go to get to their locations faster and catch things on the way. Nintendo will not be the only one making A LOT of money off this game.
This game is a brand new genre. A MMRLRPG (Massively Multiplayer Real Life Role Playing Game)
