So what makes the game so ridiculously popular? To me, it’s because Pokémon Go is a location-based game, which pulls information from Google Maps, populates the game’s map with real-life attractions and landmarks and places your own Pokémon trainer exactly where you’re standing. To put that number in perspective, 26 million people is more than the combined populations of London, New York and Bangkok. According to TechCrunch, in the week and a half since its release, Pokémon Go has already collected more daily active users than the mobile versions of Pandora, Twitter and Netflix.
But that was before I downloaded Pokémon Go, entering my iTunes password and becoming another one of the estimated 26 million (!!!) players in the United States alone. This time last week, if someone told me that they’d just found a Bulbasaur, I would’ve made my most concerned-looking facial expression and asked whether it was treatable with a cream or an ointment.
