Without getting too far down the rabbit hole of how this app is affecting me personally, here’s the rundown. Do you know how long it’s been since I just took an aimless walk or opted to pick up a takeout order from a local pizza joint without getting into my car? I mean, I took a walk yesterday! Two of them, actually. It’s the year 2016, I’m almost 32 years old, and I can’t quit walking around Scranton to catch freaking Pokémon.Ĭall it the fever dream of my 14-year-old self come to life, but the augmented reality experience provided by the new Niantic/Pokémon Company mobile app, “ Pokémon Go,” is slowly and steadily taking over my life.
