"Pokémon GO" has taken over the world in every sense of the phrase. I myself haven't downloaded the game because I am positive that I would love it and get addicted, thereby throwing productivity out the window. However, I haven't missed out entirely because I live vicariously through my boyfriend, or at least I try to. I've never played the game, nor have I watched the cartoons, so my knowledge of the virtual world is meager. If you, like me, are part of the 0.00001 percent of generation Y that are Pokemon virgins, this article's for you.
1. Trying to learn the lingo.
2. Realizing from the way they're trying to explain how Pokémon works that your friend/sibling/S.O./coworker hasn't ever had to do it before.
"So lures get you a lot of Pokémon?"
"No you have to come back and catch them."
"With the ball thingies?"
*facepalm*
3. Sitting outside and making a game out of how many people you can spot playing the game on their phones.
It's really not very hard.
4. Watching someone play over their shoulder in an attempt to understand what's going on.
Still don't really get it.
5. Feeling left out.
6. Temptation.
I looks like so much fun! It probably won't take up too much time...
7. Seeing others lose their lives to the game and snapping out of your momentary lapse.
That was so close.
8. Listening to a loved one gush or rant about Pokémon and trying to understand in order to offer appropriate excitement or sympathy.
9. Making halfhearted attempts to learn more Pokémon names aside from Pikachu and Squirtle.
It's the first of its kind - a game that
combines virtual reality and physical reality. Players have been making new
friends, getting more exercise and exploring places they wouldn't have
otherwise. You have to admit that it's probably the healthiest video game every
invented.
