I suspect that down the line, some group of clever people will design something like Pokemon GO, but with some real meat on its bones and a long, monetized lifetime. At that point, you have to wonder if there will be a measurable hit on childhood obesity. I suspect there might be, albeit relatively small, still a measurable reduction.

If VR gets broadly popular it might also have some effect in this direction, since the most popular games so far (Echo Arena, Job Simulator, Climbey, etc) all require a fair bit of arm and body movement. It's not the most intense exercise, but it's way better than nothing, especially since the engagement of it means looking forward to it rather than dreading it as unpleasant exercise.
