Pokémon Go - Are you a monster catching addict?

[Chris_K]

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

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?

I find it all a little sad tbh.

It's more than a little sad for anyone over around 16 years of age.....

Is that mental age ?

Harsh dudes, very harsh..
Though, you'll find most pokemon players will be between 25 and 35 as they were the young ones when pokemon came out.
This is them revisiting their youth....
