Though Pokémon Go was released less than a month ago, people are already losing their minds over the game. To the point, in fact, that users were already making news within the first few days.
The game is doing incredibly well. Since releasing on July 7, Pokémon Go has already been downloaded more than Tinder and is becoming an international phenomenon. Yes, Pokémon Go has taken over. The only questions are: do you play and, if so, how addicted are you? Let's find out.
