The other day, whilst waiting for a MyCiti Bus, I decided I’d snoop a look at the phones of those walking by to see who was playing Pokemon Go.
Bear in mind this was around 4PM, on a workday, so maybe not prime Pokemon spotting time.
I waited about five minutes, and in that time managed to spot four people (all of adult age) glued to their screens trying to catch them all.
That above is a long-winded way of saying this thing is out of control, and we knew it was only a matter of time until Zapiro decided to poke fun at the phenomenon.
