Which Pokémon best match certain players on the Golden State Warriors?

Go outside and take a look at every person that walks by you.

Most likely, they’re glued to their phone. In the year 2016, that’s not unusual. But right now, everyone is doing something very specific: playing Pokémon Go. Everyone is following their map to pokéstops and flinging pokéballs whenever a wild something appears.

It’s the interactive game we all imagined ourselves playing growing up. Whether you watched the television show, played the card game, played the video games, or did all of those and much more, this game offers some nostalgia. We’d all be lying if we said that we didn’t imagine being like Ash Ketchum and we’d definitely be lying if said we didn’t wonder what it’s like inside a pokéball?

If you have lived under a rock over the last week or have no emotional connection to the Japanese game (how dare you?!?!), here’s how the game works. The app utilizes your GPS and randomly places little creatures called pokémon and resources to aid you in your quest to catch them throughout the world. In order to reach them, you have to actually go outside and find them.

It’s all the rage right now.

More people have downloaded the Pokémon Go app than have downloaded Tinder! People would rather swipe for a fiery Charmander than a hot date. I downloaded the game, of course. I’m on the hunt for a Pikachu, but, instead, I’ve caught about four million Zubats. They’re EVERYWHERE!
