Like most adults over the age of 30, when I first learned about Pokémon GO, I shrugged it off as just another Candy Crush or “Harlem Shake” trend that’s here today and gone tomorrow. That was before I saw the people. So. Many. People.
Upon stepping outside, all I could see was the hordes walking around a community park, all looking down at their phones. With ages ranging from elementary school kids to fully grown adults, I quickly determined they weren’t texting and they weren’t on Snapchat.
