It’s hard to believe Pok\u00e9mon GO only left closed beta on July 6th. In its short time in the public, this newest iteration of the Pok\u00e9mon craze has already left its mark in the following five ways.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Young People Are Outside<\/strong>\n

    Pok\u00e9mon GO forces its playerbase to actually head into the wild to find and catch pok\u00e9mon, so don’t be surprised when a pale, sun-blinded millennial emerges from his burrow\u00a0like\u00a0Punxsutawney Phil to grab your local park’s population of\u00a0Caterpies.<\/li>\n

  2. You Have to Watch Your Step<\/strong>\n

    Whether you’re playing the game or just walking the streets, Pok\u00e9mon GO has made a good portion of the pedestrian world a lot less attentive.\u00a0Bumps and accidents are inevitable, but keeping an eye on the path ahead will make everyone safer.<\/li>\n

  3. The Pok\u00e9rap Is Relevant Again<\/strong>\n

    The hours of backbreaking labor you spent memorizing those sacred 151 for Red and Blue is paying off again. Whether you’re at a family dinner, a blind date or just on the phone with grandma, make sure you bring up your Pok\u00e9xpertise. Bonus points if you do recite it to music.<\/li>\n

  4. Battery Packs and Service Providers Just\u00a0Hit the Jackpot<\/strong>\n

    Pok\u00e9mon GO has one pretty annoying problem. It drains life faster than an overactive zubat. While your remaining monthly data and battery are falling, you can at least be happy that someone at the top is going to make a lot of money.<\/li>\n

  5. Life Is Just a Little Bit More Fun<\/strong>\n

    In the current “freemium” age of mobile gaming, it’s\u00a0worth celebrating when something as new and entertaining as Pok\u00e9mon GO breaks the mold. If you haven’t tried it out, give it a shot. If you’re already a trainer like me, then consider me your new rival!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
