Pokemon Go was released on July 6 and ever since, kids and adults have been consumed with the game. You will see random groups of people at parks, stores and maybe even in front of your own home playing this silly mobile game.

Detroit Lions guard Larry Warford was apparently a big fan of the game but had to call it quits according to Freep.com:

"It was a bunch of people playing it and I was like, 'I don't like this.' I deleted it because I was like, 'This is some mind-control stuff.' I don't like it."

"I was like, 'This is bad, this is bad,' " Warford said. "They were playing it and I was like, 'Nope!' And I deleted it right there, right when I got to the restaurant. The funny thing is, the people I was eating with, they were playing it, too."

On July 19, it was reported that the game had generated $35 million in revenue and over 30 million downloads.

I really haven't touched the game but I do have a friend who seems to really enjoy the game. Granted he does have young kids but I still think he plays it on his own. At least Larry Warford isn't like the man in New York who said he found every single Pokemon creature. I know one thing that guy didn't find and that's a girlfriend.
