Wow.
Nintendo has a hit.
I am going to preface this with saying that I work at a heavy metal burger bar restaurant with mostly grown men in their 40's......
They are absolutely addicted and have never even played a Pokemon game. In my town, I can see groups and groups of people trying to find all the best Pokemon. In my time myself searching for Pokemon, I must have come across 300 people playing Pokemon Go. People I did not even know were into Pokemon(and to be honest, most of them aren't). But almost everyone I know is playing it.
It is addicting trying to catch all of these Pokemon.
Now, I am not saying Pokemon Go itself is a good game. It's actually pretty boring and shallow if you treat it as a game. However, when you couple that with the experience of walking around trying to search for Pokemon and finding new alcoves you never even knew existed. Wow. It's really really fun. Not only that, but Pokemon Go is actually quite iconic in itself. You can tell instantly whether someone is playing Pokemon Go, because they have their phone out in a very unique way. This in itself is an excellent way to advertise the game.
What I said about Pokemon Go as well.... It gets even funner with a group. I got to bond with my fellow coworkers(who are 40 year olds) just by going out by our river to try and find Pokemon after work. It is really fun. So many stories are coming out from Pokemon Go as well.
I can say with complete confidence that Pokemon Go has hit the mainstream. Now, Niantic just needs to pump out more content to keep people interested.
So what do you guys think of Pokemon Go?

Everyone helps each other too, someone told my friend and I where a Jigglypuff was and we booked it over there and yelled about it so everyone else knew. It's like a whole new culture.
