Just when you thought you were wearing your grownup pants, mobile game company Niantic Inc. dropped Pokémon Go in our collective lap. Pokémon Go, an addictive cell phone app, has forced people outdoors to go on a virtual animal hybrid chase, and this week you can bring your friends and your phones and be part of a pubcrawl to trap your favorite animated creatures. Don’t forget to name a designated driver, who should also double as a sober walker to make sure you can safely navigate downtown on foot while launching Poké balls.
