How do you get Pikachu on the bus? You pokémon. Get it?! LOL


You all know what Pokémon is and you've all seen the world go crazy for the new Pokémon Go game for the past few days, but it's now officially out in the UK and we've seen folk walk into lamp posts, go to the gym but not work out, or pet dogs are now getting the most exercise of their lives...


But what about you? Is going around catching virtual monsters with an augmented reality game/app the #newnormal, or is it nothing but a fad that will fade away?

For iPhone users, get the game here

For Android users, get the game here

Not at all surprised. That's a beach you never want to get stranded on. I am sure we will be hearing more and more of these sorts of dangerous activities...
