Pokémon Go is the new craze that has gripped people across the world, including India. It’s a different matter that the game only has a limited release, but that hasn’t affected the craziness over the game any which way. Such is the addiction that it now poses some real-life problems as well. A person reportedly found a dead body while playing the game in the US; robbers lured players into coming to the location, police personnel are playing, while on duty and some are afraid because of the addictive nature of the game, the rate of accidents might increase, what with people playing during driving.
Just in case you don’t know, Pokémon Go is a game that has been launched in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The game connects with your camera and GPS and lets you enter a world of augmented reality, wherein you’ll see Pokémons popping in your surroundings and you have to catch them using a Pokeball.
Well, people on Twitter and Facebook can’t stop going gaga over it. They’re sharing pictures of the bizarre places where they find their Pokémons. And those who don’t have access to the game… insist on joining in their own way.
Even the US Marines are playing!

And imagine what people who don’t have the game yet launched in their country are feeling like while the Internet is abuzz with it! For instance, people in Canada are so upset about the fact that they have viturally created a Pokemon world.
