GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!! How did it all GO? [2017]

Ah!
Pokemon Go has been released just recently and wow how it got spread considering the first few weeks and surpassing Candy Crush (in US with 21 million users).
It was natural to be able to to participate in this FUN after all this augmented reality based game gave us what we wanted- to have our own pokemon adventure FOR REAL!!!!
Also More Profit for NINTENDO. As this is a free to play app.
So I review how this going by

GAMEPLAY
Almost similar to the core series, you make your avatar and name it and later catch pokemon to complete your pokedex albeit the only changes were like the fact you threw pokeballs at the wild ones while not battling them. On Each catch you dont get cash but two alternative to it candies and stardust which helps in both evolving your pokemon into more stronger form and to raise their combat power (CP).
Also you can level up and fight gyms and also there three factions which are represented by the Legendary Birds you can join anyone of those If a player enters a pokemon gym that is controlled by a player that is not part of their team, they can challenge the leader to lower the gym's "prestige". Once the prestige of a gym is lowered to zero then the player will take control of the gym and is able to deposit one pokemon to defend it. Similarly, a team can upgrade the prestige of a gym under their control by battling the gym leader.

Issues
Wow despite its popularity it did have some problems, in the early beta release it gained way more access on google accounts meaning an invasion of privacy.  Also due to augmented reality game, It became somewhat controversial when memorial or cemetery sites were featured as the area for catching pokemon. Also due to majority of users it would often suffer frequent crashes.Despite the above mentioned, the game is not that bad as it resulted in positive impacts. For example, the game has enabled players to help catch criminals and to report crimes in progress.Futhermore its more health wise proven to be beneficial as this caused a break from negativity and and gave more social time.

OVERALL I say it was fun to me I mean I never played an game of this type before so yeah refreshment indeed.
 Too Bad I am old for this...or am I?

The following article/blog has been revised for errors and other mistakes. It's been almost four months since our trip to Kumrat Valley, Swat.
