Unless you’ve been living under a Poke Ball the last few weeks you’ve heard about the premiere app currently capturing the mobile zeitgeist: Pokemon Go. Fun fact: “Pokemon” is short for “Pocket Monsters.” The popularity of Pokemon Go has significantly driven up the value of franchise owner Nintendo (depending upon which day you look), inserted the Pokemon franchise back into the mainstream, and gotten the normally sedentary American public out of the house– but with screen firmly planted in face, of course. While unavailable for comment, we imagine the game’s mascot, Pikachu, would remark “Pika-pika!” in response to the app’s success. And judging from the swift response and actions of those in the mobile market, they seem to agree with the top pocket monster’s positive assessment.
