Lately, the news has been broadcasting players getting hurt, jumped, and even arrested. Very few players found themselves in car accidents, being lured into gunpoint robberies, or making irresponsible mistakes like leaving children unattended, bumping into people, and wandering into private property.

In the game, there are gyms which can be conquered by any team. Once a gym is claimed by a team it is the responsibility of the other factions to challenge it. This feature of the game helps create bonds between players. Choosing your team basically gives you a community of people who can back you up in your conquest for Pokemon and gyms.

Using Pokemon Go will help you discover new facts about your neighborhood. Like many of the players, I don 't really know the cultural definition of my neighborhood.

After you visit a landmark and collect the items in the game the Poke Stop does not provide any more. Since the items run out quickly, you find yourself entering other neighborhoods seeking for more. While looking for these items you are exploring the different parts of your city while gaining background information. This feature is basically like a mini tour guide, It leads you to the landmarks, then provides a brief historical information on it. Including this feature in the games is very significant because you also get to learn new information about your neighborhood in a fun and engaging

For a team to be successful there are several factors that have to be addressed in order for a fluent, functioning group of individuals combined to achieve a certain goal. This goal can be a variety of different endings from producing minor results to making decisions that create a major impact on a large scale. Within a team environment conflict is always presence. Conflict is essential to the advancement of teams and must be managed in a proper way to avoid destruction and division amongst the group of individuals.

A team can be define as a group of people with distinct skills and different tasks, who work together on a goal, service or project, with a meshing of mutual and functions support. They are people that regularly contact and have close interaction and common feeling that able to work together (Team-Definition). A group is define as two or more figures forming a accomplish unit in a part. A group is also a number of individuals assembled together or facing some integration relationship (Merriam-webster 2014). A group do not necessarily constitute as a team because a team demands a coordinated effort. Characteristics of a group are synergy, common goals, interdependence, or cohesiveness. A group can be informal, like 3-12 people that are in a meeting to talk over a business problem. Teams are structured formally and sometimes are allocated. Teams have specific goals, purpose and allocate duties. Team need to have different members with particular roles in order to achieve a common goal (Boundless 2014). Without the goals and purpose, you will unable to build a team. The purpose must be worthwhile and create a sense of working something together.

This is where the team comes together and get to know each other and feel each team member out and work on finding each member’s strengths and weaknesses. During forming, the team will begin working on establishing trust and getting over their fear of conflict. Lencioni recommends that the team members spend some time talking about their personal lives to help establish trust.

(2012), when individuals are brought together into a team, it can take a long time for that group to bond cohesively and reach the stage where it is working well. Trust and confidence between team members also takes time. To hasten the process, the new team should first undergo a team-building activity. The goal of team building activities is to promote greater interaction and cohesiveness among employees (Schnall
