This. Is. Incredible. In just a few short days, a childhood favorite of millennials worldwide has come back in a major way. That's right, twenty-somethings, are running around their communities to catch Pokémon by using an app with a level of interaction never witnessed before. Instead of playing from the comfort of their homes, users have to actually go outside. Wild.
My friend is telling me how much fun he had today playing Pokemon. Getting out the house, running around town, meeting other people— Kia Imani (@DearKiaImani) July 12, 2016
Besides raking in an insane amount of money, Pokémon GO has managed to do something other games can't - encourage face to face interaction in the digital age. It almost seems wrong, considering that this type of engagement is at an all-time low. Even still, people from all walks of life are outside right now trying to collect Squirtle and Charizard.I'm just glad Pokemon go got oomf to finally leave their house. A true lifesaver if u ask me.— m dubz (@mayaschino) July 12, 2016
Jimmy Wong sums it up best.Pokemon (a already multibillion dollar franchise) has increased in value almost 10billion wit that damn app. That's wild.— Mrs. King❤️ (@_zolarmoon) July 11, 2016
I don't care if #PokemonGO is dead in 2 weeks- the phenomena of all these people interacting in today's society is incredible and uplifting.— Jimmy Wong (@jfwong) July 10, 2016
