That was fairly obvious at the time. And people used more or less exactly the same language to describe the world back then, too.

Poke Mongo was popular with people of all age groups, and (most) children have parents or other guardians to help them with these decisions.
I believe Google explicitly stated that they used data collected from Ingress (arguably a predecessor to Pokemon Go) at the time. It's the reason Niantic was founded. It's hard to take these complaints seriously.
