Pokemon GO

It's a fad that's sweeping the nation, and it's pretty crazy to think about. I saw around 30-40 people standing in a park, all on their phones, waiting for the Pokemon they lured. It was kind of apocalyptic.

Maybe Nintendo intended for this to be a social thing, with people battling their Pokemon and meeting new people. And maybe it will become that as people get better Pokemon and the app gets updated with new features. But that park I walked past was eerie, creepy and silent.

Kudos to Nintendo for actually getting people out of their house- Pokémon Go apparently improves mental health! Nintendo had like a 33% stock increase the day after the release. And hey- it's just a form of entertainment, like reading a book or watching a TV show. Who am I to tell people how to spend their time...

But it's just a game, and I have this feeling that in a few months a lot of people are going to regret all the extra time they spent glued to their phone from Pokémon Go.

I can't even get Pokemon Go, I have a Windows phone.

The struggle is real.
