15 Signs You Need Pokemon Go Intervention

(1) You got off a random bus stop in a panic because there was a Snorlax sighting.

(2) You got out of bed and walked outside the house at 2am because someone had put a lure on a nearby pokestop.

(3) You walked to a Pokegym with your same teamed friends to take it down and level it up, at past 10pm on a work night, instead of going home to rest.

(4) You mourned the loss of the one rare pokemon that got away.

(5) You’ve had a mini heart attack when you overheard colleagues say “abra kadabra alakazam” because you thought they had seen an alakazam when it turns out they were just pretending to cast magic spells with their fake wands.

(6) You traveled with a tour itinerary that looked like this:

(7) You go out of your way to Pokemon hotspots and run whenever you see other people running, coz you know that means it’s a rare pokemon, even if it means you have to leave your girlfriend behind because dammit, you only have 4 minutes to catch that legit venusaur!

(8) Whenever you go out, you bring along a fully charged power bank.

(9) Your camera roll is full of pictures like these:

(10) Catching/hatching/evolving a rare pokemon and adding it to your Pokedex is the highlight of your day/trip.

(11) You fell over a bench because you were not looking where you were walking.

(12) You decide where to dine/shop/hang out/get your hair or nails done based on where the pokestops are.

(13) You take longer, winding routes from one point to another so you can hit more pokestops (when previously you took shortcuts).

(14) You wake up early to go “exercise” in the park but really it’s to catch pokemon.

(15)You caught so many magikarps that you evolved it to a Gyarados… five times.

These are all based on true to life stories that I either experienced myself or happened to someone I know. What are your experiences with Pokemon Go players?
