Pokémon GO A Viral Phenomenon

The world seems to be going crazy for Pokémon GO. The smartphone game’s incredible popularity is responsible for everything from a massive jump in the value of Nintendo’s shares to the discovery of a dead body.

Pokémon GO uses augmented reality to place creatures and items in real locations — which brought people, and Pokémon, to places they don’t normally go. In some cases, it’s led to trouble… Involuntarily, some people have seen their homes overtaken by Pokémon trainers. However, on a brighter note it gets people up and moving and can be used as a workout.
