Comment: Pokémon Go — I just don’t get it (but everyone else does)

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/screen-shot-2016-07-11-at-3-42-38-pm.png?w=1600&h=1000#038;h=563)</div>
<p>Take a quick look at the landscape of the Internet since last week and it’s quite apparent that <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/nz/app/pokemon-go/id1094591345?mt=8&amp;at=10laZc&amp;ct=925" target="_blank">Pokémon Go[/url] has taken over the planet. Nintendo’s market cap jumped $9 billion (http://9to5mac.com/2016/07/11/pokemon-go-to-launch-in-uk-and-europe-in-a-few-days-as-nintendo-stock-soars/) since last Wednesday, at least five of the top Techmeme stories <a href="http://www.techmeme.com/160711/h1610" target="_blank">right now[/url] are about Pokémon, and my mother-in-law (!) knows where to find all the Pokéstops and gyms around town. Seriously.</p>
<p>The phenomenon is really impressive, but I really don’t understand it. If I were reviewing Pokémon Go in a bubble and hadn’t seen the Internet’s reaction to the game, I’d have written that Niantic/The Pokémon Company should probably scrap the whole game and start over. But people really love Pokémon Go…</p>
