Last Saturday I went to a birthday party and my friend was playing Pokémon Go while we were there. I had a very vague awareness that something about Pokémon was going on in the world, but I really didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I’m not into games on my phone—I’m perfectly happy with my Solitaire app. My husband downloaded Pokémon Go this past Monday night, and I still thought the whole thing was kind of dumb. Then I got up on Tuesday morning and read a New York Times article about Pokémon Go, and it completely changed my attitude (what can I say…I’m suggestible).
