Everything You Need to Know about Pokemon Go in 24 Images

Today I was riding my bike through town when something amazing happened. I pulled out my phone and opened the Pokemon Go app near a public park. Someone had put a “lure” up there. I rode into the park to see a group of eight people sitting around a power outlet playing Pokemon. None of them knew each other, all had become friends. In the twenty minutes that followed, several dozen people of every age and background entered the park playing the game, walking back and forth looking for Pokemon.
One couple even showed up wearing team rocket shirts.

I tried to photograph as many as possible. The whole moment was surreal.

After I left the park, I continued to see entire groups of people walking on the sidewalk playing the game. When I entered a café, it was filled with people playing Pokemon on their phones. This is not a passing trend. This is radically new and a phenomenon unto its own.
