Somewhere near Christmas this year, Pokémon Go will turn into Pokémon, what? Just like hula hoops, Tetris, Rubik’s cube, Tamagotchi and flash mobs – it’ll die a brutal and devastating death in a short while! Pokémon Go seems to be inspired by a Google April Fools’ Day prank a few years ago. The idiot’s guide to Pokémon GoPokémon stands for pocket monsters and has been around forever as a Japanese video game, a card-trading game and an anime series. Now it’s time for me to go as my Rs 500-an-hour Pokémon chauffeur ride is waiting.
