Now more relevant than ever before, Fear of Pokémon Go is an all-consuming phobia that is as addictive as it is alarming. The developers of the game either had no idea about the epidemic they would be unleashing on the world or had every intention to collapse society, one Pokémon at a time. It’s fun for all ages!
Gotta Catch Fear of Pokémon Go
In the world of Pokémon Go, streets go crossed without regard for vehicles, pedestrians collide with the force of a thousand Charizards on the sidewalks, while people spend hundreds of dollars on a game 20 years in the making. Despite these ominous warnings, more and more people are downloading and playing it with each passing hour. It’s like a zombie apocalypse that we’re not only creating, but scolding if you don’t join in on the consumption of brains. For shame.
Like any cataclysmic event, it’s tough to watch but even tougher not to be a part of. There’s really no escape. At any given moment, you can look out your window and see at least a cluster of children or fully grown adults rummaging through your bushes. They might be scaling the side of your apartment building in search of that ever elusive Pidgey. You know it’s out there. I know it’s out there. The Fear of Pokémon Go is strong.
Evolving From Your Fear of Pokémon Go
On a personal note: I still remember this one time about 4 years ago. I was walking down the sidewalk with my fiancé (sorry, ladies, this Poke-player is taken), our phones in hand. We were desperately searching for our next Poké-high. A young girl, no older than 8, asked us if we were playing too. In that moment, we both knew it was all over for us and we had officially joined the phenomenon that is sweeping the planet. Needless to say, we didn’t answer her question because you shouldn’t talk to strangers.
What’s wrong with society? A lot. But that’s not for me to decide. It’s for me to insinuate and you to agree or disagree by commenting on this post or even attempting to chat over on Facebook. That is, unless you have a Fear of Social Media…
