When "Pokemon Go" was first released, I held off on downloading it right away. I was focused on some other things. Well, that’s what I like to tell myself, anyway. And I made fun of my friends who did download it. But now, here I am, just a couple of days later, completely obsessed and writing an article on why you should be obsessed, too.

There’s a lot more than just four reasons, but these are really the main reasons why you should join not just Teams Yellow, Blue or Red, but the main team of "Pokemon Go" players around the world.

1. It gets you out of the house.

I love video games as much as the next person, and sitting down, relaxing and playing them after a long day can be great. Yet on days where I probably should stop sitting around in my room, "Pokemon Go" is the perfect thing to get me off my butt and get some exercise while still doing something I enjoy.

2. It brings us back to our childhood.

There may not be cheesy flashbacks with us staring off into the distance after we catch one of our favorite Pokemon, but man, do I remember playing the card version with my cousins and watching the TV show as much as possible. Who doesn’t like things that make us feel young and hip again?

3. One word: Adventure!

We might still have our faces in our phones, but we’re doing it with a group of people and going on a journey. That might sound cheesy, but it’s true! Playing yesterday with some friends, we walked through this beautiful park and found such a nice spot that I’ll definitely be returning to. But I also heard the game lead some kids to a dead body once, so take what you will.

4. You meet new, awesome people.

While playing "Pokemon Go," it’s pretty obvious when you see others if they’re playing, too. This game is a game that can bring people together, and I think that’s great. It’s an icebreaker, and something that can help you bond with another person. This world really needs something like this right now.

It’s the little things that count, and this small yet super fun game is one that can make your break from work, your morning jog or your late night with friends 10 times more fun. If you’re not playing it yet, I recommend at least checking it out, and if you are, maybe I’ll see you out there.
