Have you played the Pokemon Go? Were you one of those players who were roaming the streets while looking at their phones? To be honest, I did not play that game and I didn't even bother to download and install because the mechanics is a turn off. How would you enjoy a game when you have to move all the time? That's silly. And I had predicted that the game will not last long and the popularity is just a hype. Oh well, history tells the rest of the story.
I played it for a few days and then got bored with it. Now days the craze is magikarp jump (Nintendo's final attempt at making people like it's failure of a Pokemon 😛 )
I've never played a single Pokemon game, though I know it's been an insane craze since the day it was first introduced. With GO, there were people running out into the streets, running into buildings, crossing the Canada/US border in places, getting hit by cars...it was nuts. There were also local ads asking if they could hire boats so people could take them out onto the lakes in search of those little creatures
