STampsBoss: This is the best comment I’ve seen!

Adamen_CZ I second that.

Adamen_CZ well, it's pokemon go that distracts the players, but it is the player's fault for being idiot so yeah you're right.

Adamen_CZ Ikr

Stupidity. The leading cause of death in the world. Stay in school kids.

Crzy Goldn alright I’m gonna go run real quick ok

a lot

Gaara of the Sand K see ya

that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen or heard anywhere.

Wow

that was a dumb sentence, but ok

So fake

Your dumb

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.

XD Ohhh, the Pokemon puns.

I love this comment.

Hah hah hah you get a cookie!

Best comment ever :D

ThePlasmaPro (edited) 😂😂😂 you pleb!

"Are you over the age of 18?" Yes or No Yeah those do literally nothing

@@danielendless atleast it won't be the game's fault anymore, you have freedom, do what you want (but the game has warned you)

@@NicoKyunKyun 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

What are you doing here?

It depends where your from so maybe on Saturday it would end for you

the week starts on sunday...

CoffeesGoneCold sometimes. Some countries start their weeks on Monday, as do multiple communities inside of other countries

Potato ;3 Lol it's Monday in Australia.

Yep

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.

I even remember the app telling you to 'slow down' when cycling, probably another way to prevent people playing while driving.

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this

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.

😅

Looks mommy I going beat snot out of Tyrannosaurus rex released dinosaur world alive we double amounts of death and life's saved 8000 dinosaur battles dinosaur capture How many police officers life ruined by pokemon go includes your own drivers life spare Police fired by pokemon go dinosaur world alive once every year death count 20 How many life scare by watching Goofy movie minus 160

BRRRUUUUHHHHH XD

Many of them WERE just idiots. WHO drives around while playing?!

It's called common sense XD you should know by now you should look both ways or talk to strangers and such

Unless you get run over by a driver who is playing Pokémon Go while driving.

again it's called common sense you should at least wait until the next pokestop and park the vehicle

yay im not the only one that noticed

He's kept against his will

Cookiesnkarim ! Conspiracy theory anyone?

yep

So is it like in truman show and the livestreams are all fake to make matpat think he is safe

Right)

Very true

Demonitized*

Жопня УТ I'm Australian, our spelling is slightly different. Don't assume that you're always right.

Жопня No, "demonetised" is actually the correct way to spell it :)

Please explain dis! 🤩

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

Dante Solablood Congratulations!

I AGREE

xXmegagallade Goddamit

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"

+Jon Jon sorry for english XD

xXmegagallade Shhh let Natural Selection do it's thing

Nice catch!

YOU SCANNED THAT what a legend!

It swaps, whats the second

Grey the wolf Ahaha probably film theory but I didn’t scan it so idk

Miss Starstruck lol ur right

Yeah we’ll help you MatPat

WHO ARE WE GONNA CALL

Miss Starstruck meh...let's just wait and see where this goes.

deadstroyer me too!

Lol same

Nope, but he followed it with an ad of his own merch. ^^

deadstroyer same

Me too

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

Numb S ʞull One like on your this comment= one less Pikachu falling victim to a GT thumbnail

I support the deaths of pikachus and other Pokemon

Numb S ʞull so true

Numb S ʞull More like a lot of things have been through Pikachu. >;3

Numb S ʞull yes

juan josé the need to buy food and pay my bills.

*lack of money

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.

And The Fact Im A 10 Year Old

very true i mean saying it makes people cause deaths is just a silly as saying some one became a murderer because they played GTA.

Kitty Haze Humans are know to be stupid sometimes...

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"

But if you want to play. You need to go out

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.

Lol

Me to

WOW

Coincidence? I THINK NOT

StickMaster500 I thought you only comment on tf2 related stuff....

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.

The Ace Of Spades I stay inside so I can play video games and watch Matpats channels

Why what is wrong with you?

The Ace Of Spades but theirs lots of diseases out

how to you get food

The Ace Of Spades Me reading the title: As if After watching video: *Shows this video to every Pokémon fan*

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

I also didn't eat for 1 week at a time

... or dead

Proud of you

My mom:YOU ARE SO SKINNY HOW!!! Me: *A 9 year old who weighs 2.4 pounds* Idk I dont eat

Daniel your right.

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

Richard Wallace Lol

I’m at Purdue University! And let me tell you, the reason there is car accidents here is because no one knows how to use their friggin signals.

Hex Op Sorry, but that's not exclusive to **Purdue…sadly, that's how it is pretty much everywhere :(

Richard Wallace, yeah coincidence on game theory I THINK NOT...

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

No he didn’t the website where he found the 2 saves he says in the video that it’s a US Pokémon deaths counter

@@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.

Kirby

Lol

Jump On Everything I got the portal gun and nightmare Sans so lets get Matpat

Jump On Everything and the theorists united to save matpat

Jump On Everything I slowed that part down to

which means it was TECHNICALLY, the game.

Thunderstorm But mostly people's ignorance.

Sounds like Black Mirror's slogan: It's not the technology, it's the people

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

Trim Prism But its ok because the Power Rangers do it in STYLE

well that was onix-spected

+Super Isaiah that joke was sooo bad that after reading it my brain is feeling bulba-sore

Quadrillions? Is there two earths or something? Or are you saying people and animals and trees and basically every living and non living thing? (This is a joke dont take this seriously. I just HAD to add a sarcastic comment to this

Shir Gaiser power rangers has several planets that had people killed. So that number is kinda believable

Ahh reverse psychology

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 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

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

papyrus likes to eat speghetti not die 😂 those people just can’t see the wonder of MatPat, more for us 🤷🏽‍♀️

YT Pysia ;3 in America? Because in Australia there only 10 AUS dollars

Hadriex Also, 6:44 - Why was this eatimated figure halved? By his own admission, the original number we were using was the additional accidents the study found for that year. It would have already only included the period of the games release?

But he just said at the end that it was for fun and also he’s trying to give both the sides a chance

Kerfunkle Doing things for "fun" doesn't excuse poor logic.

Ok just fogive him maybe he forgot or somthing

Hadriex you can save Pokémon

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.

who needs to walk when you have a *burning airplane*

Matt is Phone Guy from DSaF confirmed 😹😹

U got caught playing Pokemon Go

You still had time to edit the comment though

To you guys that respond to this, 0:38

Theurgic Soo true!

Wow stupid players I got a pikachu in a car there was so much traffic and I did not have a accident

exactly!

This would make a good mario type gameplot

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.

Sky Javy agreed

Do you know the wae?

Aqua Lemon No... Stop...

Too damn high!

What d'ya mean the spaghet mean is dead? 😧

KinglyPeasant IKR M8

Slapping some numbers onto the screen has little to do with math.

Mr. Vojtik but it does have a lot to do with using maths in real life. In a classroom setting they provide all the numbers for you in the problem. In real life you have to go digging through information sources and figure out your methodologies all on your own. Maths is really "supposed" to train people how to think. MatPat does that better than many maths teachers, therefore MatPat is a better maths teacher

KinglyPeasant that's because were not force to lisson to him

Science teacher too

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

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

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.

Neoslayer PW s(

Burn in hell

Dirty dirty pun sayer

Neoslayer PW my thoughts exactly. The fans that don't play PkGO cause they don't wanna get up are gonna be more prone to diabetes, but are less likely to walk into traffic. The ones that do play are gonna be more in shape, but more likely to walk into traffic. The slim percentage that manage to play the game enough to get into really good shape, but are street-smart enough to not get mugged or ran over or fall off a bridge doing so - are holding up humanity on their shoulders. Literal natural selection. I don't know how to feel about it.

Neoslayer PW so why are so many Americans still alive?
