Personally, I have nothing again new technologies or trends. I've previously had my ultimate share playing farmville, candyville, candy crash etc.... it's just got to a point were both my eyes and fingers were hurting me, I even lost sense of what's next with playing these games!!
For the last couple of days all of my news-feed were suddenly flooded with articles, comments and news about this new hype named Pokemon Go!! I tried to blissfully stay unaware of it, same as I do with all the fads that are not interesting to me, but today I've had enough.
I had to figure out why people are going crazy about this game, what is it, and is it worth all the hype?

First of all, let me share with you What is Pokemon GO ?
Pokémon Go is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game, developed by Niantic and published by The Pokémon Company as part of the Pokémon franchise. It was released worldwide in July 2016 for iOS and Android
devices. The game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual Pokémon!!!
Augmented reality superimposes a virtual layer on top of the real world. For Pokémon Go, this means that you can look at the real world via your screen – much like you were taking a picture – and see a virtual character on the ground in front of you.
