I thought all the Pokémon died out with the dinosaurs?

For the past week, fully grown humans have been chasing fictional creatures in pursuit of I Don't Know What on a game called Pokémon GO. Quite frankly, it's madness.

Though millions are playing the game, there is a large, but silent, majority that have not. In that group, profound questions are being asked: have people gone mad? Is this the end of the world as we know it? What the f*ck is a Pokémon gym?  

So we are less alone, this post is in honour of all those that don't have a clue what's going on. Stay strong, comrades, it will all be over soon.

 

1. Literally, what the eff is happening?

5. Don't worry Kami, you are not alone.

 

6. Nope. Nothing. No idea.

 

7. Is a rare Pokémon the same as a rare pepe?

 

8. WHAT THE HELL HAVE THEY DONE TO MY PRECIOUS PEPE? THERE WILL BE BLOOD FOR THIS.

 

9. That time everyone else downloaded Pokémon GO and killed your social life for good.

10. The more Pokémon-related things you see, the deeper your resentment grows.

 

11. Two weeks ago I would have assumed this tweet was about Grindr.

 

12. Leave the real animals out of this war of attrition ffs.

 

13. Why are people ridiculing their children like this? 

 

14. You're not even on the game but you feel like you are.
