Pokémon GO Is Doing All Kinds Of Shit To Help / Hinder Folks’ Relationships

It’s changed the social landscape, suddenly it’s not at all weird to be out at like 1 in the morning just wandering around the streets and people are saying ‘hi’ to each other because they both around hanging around the same body of water to get the same cartoon fish.

It’s also having an impact on people’s relationships, because duh, all of a sudden we’re spending like a zillion hours a day on it -either as a team (“relationship goals”) or just one of us is doing it (“my gf likes Pokémon more than me??”).

People are either stoked AF or not loving it:

Relationship status: jealous that my wife collected more Pokemon than me today.

Urgent. Please help. I have lost my boyfriend over Pokemon Go, and can no longer find him.

Just spent an hour driving my wife around town whilst she hunted Pokemon. Not sure if relationship highlight or low point.

Truly we live in a beautiful, incredible future where relationships hinge on a mobile phone game instead of something important like, I don’t know, whatever people did in the 50s for fun. Going to the library? Trying on suits? Who knows.
