‘Pokémon Go’ Is Affecting People’s Lives in Very Strange Ways

Pokémon Go, which tasks players with exploring the real world to find Pokémon in the game’s digital universe, looks to be the unexpected breakout gaming hit of the summer. Of course, when millions of people head outside when they otherwise might’ve been indoors, some pretty strange stuff is bound to happen. (Also adding to the weirdness: The game uses real-world landmarks as checkpoints, leading to lots of players congregating in certain spots.)
