If you don't know what Pokemon Go is by now, I applaud you from being disconnected from social media. Pokemon Go was released a little more than a week ago, but is now a worldwide phenomenon. People of literally all ages are playing it, including my mother. It's bringing all sorts of people together and getting people to leave their houses and go for walks. And although, yes, people are still on their phones, it's an amazing achievement that a simple gaming app is creating such a positive outlook on exercise in general. Now everyone can be a Pokemon trainer in real life, which is actually a sort of difficult task. It's been a whirlwind of a week with Pokemon Go, but I'm sure everyone can relate if you play.

Wow, I bet no one else has a Zubat!
