Pokémon Go came out less than two weeks ago, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it has already changed the world in many ways since. Twenty years after the franchise first launched, Pokémania is everywhere again. From causing stampedes to giving robbers new ways to lure victims to getting people outside into the sunshine, the game has had all sorts of ripple effects that nobody could have foreseen.

He’s already caught 90 Pokémon (at the time of writing this feature). “I wanted to have an adventure,” he says. “I have been working for six years and I was desperate for a break. And Pokémon gave me the chance to live that dream.”
