It’s been more than a year since Pokémon Go took the world by storm, getting people to wander outside and look for virtual monsters with their smartphones.
The game became a social phenomenon, with adults and children gathering in parks and public areas to train their Pokémon. The fad is still going strong, with new characters and upgrades being added regularly. More than 65 million people use the app each month, although it’s down from a peak. In the U.S., the game is among the 20 most-lucrative apps this year, holding the top spot for about a week in July.
