Pokémon Go has officially taken over the world. And basically, if you haven’t heard of it by now you really should be reported to lost persons. The 90’s nostalgic game, which GPS maps let you shamelessly stalk and capture Pokémon around the streets, was launched here in the UK a week ago, and we’ve never been so active ever since (ironically now-a-days an app can actually help cut obesity much more in seven days then billions of pounds spent and years of government campaigning ever can- another win for humanity.)
Pokémon Go’s release not only broke the internet but also the stock markets too. Nintendo shares soared up 71% in the last week and helped Japan see its biggest trading day in the millennium. Whether you’re THAT person blocking pedistrians while playing the game, mindlessly trekking hours across deserted fields searching for a new Pokémon, or even catching a one on your wife’s stomach as she delivers your child (yes that happened), the world has gone crazy eating this game up! And, we all damn well know that nothing in the social media’s limelight can rest without a good serving of some hilarious memes. We’ve got 9 of the best Pokémon Go memes for your day’s procrastination that will really make you say ‘oh what a time to be alive’.
1. Fit AF
Pokémon Go has been reported to be the new fitness craze, and instead of being a new type of fancy yoga or a home workout vid, it's literally just people vigorously stalking the streets on the endless hunt for these creatures. Users of fitness tracker Jawbone UP logged a whopping 62.5% more steps on the weekend after release while using Pokémon Go compared to their steps taken during a normal weekend.
2. The Nostalgia is realll
Nearly all of us above the legal drinking age have played Pokémon sometime in their life. The Nostalgia is realll. Vanessa Carlton brings it all back to us.

He’s back at it again! Drake giving us yet another remix to Hotline bling.
4.You know this is a bad idea, but you'd probably do it anyway
You’re told not to step into the van, it would be wise to not to step into the van, but you know you will anyway.
5. Really, what a time to be alive.
6.That epic moment you see another Pokémon-er out and about on their quest of greatness
It’s all good as long as they leave your Pokémon the HELL alone.

8. Pls, turn around and leave my Pokémon be.
