Top 5 Pokémon Go Facts


now that I’m ten I can finally get my
Pokemon license while you’re watching
this video we’re taking over your gym
welcome to watchmojo.com on go keep in
mind these are not tips to improve your
pokie venture we’re also taking the team
harmony route and not addressing any of
the crazy incidents surrounding Pokemon
go so there won’t be any dead bodies or
robberies here we will have that list
coming up pretty soon though one thing
that was unforeseen was that the game
led to something much bigger not a
Pikachu but the body of a dead man
number five the game first appeared as a
prank
ah April Fool’s Day the day all geeks
severely hate as the companies they love
will pull some rather soul-crushing
pranks the year was 2014 and Google
decided to pull the ultimate polka prank
and show us all what it would be like if
we could catch Pokemon in real life
today we’re announcing a new job rule
and challenge
Google already had an augmented reality
game called ingress so it wasn’t too
much of a stretch of the imagination to
see them come up with an augmented
reality Pokemon game
but then we saw the date of the trailer
and openly wept after that we tucked our
dreams of being the best away but
Nintendo and Niantic the former Google
property behind ingress head other plans
number four there are gyms in weird
places they’re trying to get over this
face offense rather just to get two
statues like that one over there
so you’ve caught them hopefully in
suitable locations and what happens
after that
you send your Pokemon to take over the
gyms in your area of course it’s not too
late to back out
why should I back out what I’m gonna win
just stick around and watch me that
being said some gyms have appeared in
some rather interesting places there’s
the White House which at one time had a
Pidgey it named merica
there’s Massachusetts resident Boone
Sheridan whose house actually became a
gym since it used to be a church so it’s
a little awkward because you’ll see
someone standing on the sidewalk
looking into their phone at ARFF at our
house seems most churches are made gyms
by default including the prolific hub of
hate that is the Westboro Baptist Church
it didn’t take long for their gym to be
taken over by a pro LGBTQ Clefairy named
love is love of course the WBC objected
but maybe they’ll be more content with
the magmar named satan who has a CP of
666 number three swipe right for Pikachu
this is great
it’s no surprise to anyone that the game
is popular after all augmented reality
is fun and still novel and Pokemon has
been a popular franchise since the 90s
but its measurable impact has been
impressive forget being a top trending
hashtag Pokemon goes surpassed Twitter
in daily active users survey monkey
intelligence declared it the biggest
mobile game ever in the u.s. it only
took one day to be tinder and downloaded
apps and currently Pokemon go is a more
popular search term than porn quagmire
you don’t use the Internet
you mean that crappy dial-up thing
that’s a pain in the ass now I don’t use
the damn internet I thought that was for
nerds why don’t you guys tell me
speaking of Google searches since the
game gives distances in the glorious
metric system there’s been a surge in
metric conversion searches we’re kind of
curious if this might inspire a
generation of Americans to finally
embrace the metric system check out the
big brain on Brad you’re a smart mother
that’s right the metric system number
two the poke economy is building it goes
to those saying that Nintendo is
currently diving into a vault of
old coins Scrooge McDuck style yeah the
game may be free but Nintendo stocks are
soaring higher than the almighty lugia
right now the song has restored my
strength despite the fact they are only
part owner of the game and will
presumably be taking just a fraction of
its profits plenty of local businesses
are reaping the benefits too however as
many restaurants cafes and bars are
buying lures to attract potential
customers advertising being a polka stop
or offering discounts to players after
discovering that all four of his stores
were gyms or polka spots he designed
what he calls a pokey scene to capture
the imagination of new customers
nightspots are in on it too
poke a pub crawls are popping up and so
are dance parties with live DJs and
non-stop lures now that you can request
to be a poke a stop or Jim we imagine
the number of businesses jumping on the
bandwagon will increase and that you’ll
soon be seeing more pay me to catch

social skills manki Diglett rhymer sure

like all those other mobile games that

that doesn’t change the fact that this
game is remarkable and that’s not just
because we can finally live out the
fantasy of catching them all it’s also
because of the real-life connections you

real world there are events like the
