Considering you don't live under a rock, you would know that Pokémon Go has suddenly hit the world by storm. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Pokémon is a media concept originally kickstarted in the late 90s, and developed into both a TV series and a highly successful series of video games throughout the years. As someone who grew up playing Pokémon (albeit a little embarrassing when I was in middle school), I've noticed that almost every single person my age or even older has been bowled over with this new game. Not only does the app let you travel across the world competing with others and catching Pokémon, but it also let's you interact with the Pokémon in a very real-world environment. That does include the annoying reoccurrence of constant rattatas and weedles everywhere you go, but it also includes the feeling of achievement when catching a gyarados. Either way, from what I see on my feed daily, I new quite a few people who might apply to this list. Here's 12 signs you're addicted to Pokémon Go.

1. It's the only reason you leave the house. I, personally, prefer to stay indoors in my own cave during the summer, but the only reason I leave the house now is to catch Pokémon!

2. If you have a dog, your parents have probably told you to take the dog with you every time you leave the house, resulting in this.

However, if you do not have a pet, this pet shelter is encouraging walking dogs from the shelter as you do walk around the shelter! Even if you aren't from Indiana, all pet shelters are encouraging it, and everyone could use a furry buddy while hunting for pokémon!

3. You might get carried away from time to time in all the adventure, and forget the constrictions of time
