Getting lost is unlikely, but still a possibility. It depends on what kind of sport you play.

Though if you're wandering around the streets staring down at your phone, and you're not attentive enough (granted, there ARE people who pay attention to where they're going, so I don't mean to clump everyone together in this example), it is much, much easier to get lost. That chance rises if you're going alone. Then again, if you have your phone, you can most likely use a GPS to get back to somewhere safe, or Google maps.

Though, I agree with pretty much everything you all have said so far. Both Pokemon GO and sports in general present their own risks. Whether or not one is worse than the other, I'm not entirely sure. But I personally feel that while sports has a much greater risk of getting serious injury (again, depending on what you play), you still get to meet people and get in shape. Pokemon GO can't do those things nearly as well, but it still appeals to the group of people who aren't as athletic, and provides a way for these kinds of people to connect through common interests.
