What is Pokemon go?

Just recently Niantic, inc. released a game for cell phones titled Pokemon Go that has taken the world by storm.

This game is doing things!  The game was released July 6, 2016 and was the fastest app ever to reach ten million downloads.

The game is simple. Download the app from your favorite app store. Collect Pokemon on the app by going to different places that randomly pop up on the GPS in-game-map and capture the Pokemon in a Poke' ball. You can evolve the Pokemon so they gain strength and then battle them in the battle arena's/gym's that show up on the map. 

This game was in the news almost as quickly you can download it for bad reasons and good reasons.   Some people would drive and play the game getting into car accidents.  Other incidents include people falling off of cliffs, getting stabbed then not going to the doctor.  People would also leave their cars in the road abandoned causing traffic jams to chase Pokemon.  Like when there was a rare Pokemon in central park .

It might seem like the bad out ways the good but in some instances the people who walk around town looking for Pokemon buy stuff at some of the places they find Pokemon giving a small boost to the local economy.

 However the best effect the game had was simply getting people out of their lazy boys and into the streets bonding with friends and family.  A good example of this being the other night i was walking in the park at 10:30 at night and it was filled with zombie like people searching for Pokemon.  I have never seen so many people in this park that late at night.  It was incredible.

Another benefit of this games popularity is how the news coverage of it has distracted people from things like the negative press in the Hilary Clinton campaign and the negative press on the republican nation convention covering Donald Trump.

Pokemon Go has revitalized the Pokemon franchise adding billions of dollars in value to their stocks.

So what is Pokemon go?

It's a great phone app that allows you to spend time with the people you love while boosting their stats in the game.  Just remember to look around while you are walking and pay attention when you are near areas that could be hazardous.  The roads in the Pokemon game may look harmless but the are a representation of reality.
