Success of Pokemon Go

How games bring people together, one such example is Pokemon GO

It’s more than just a major game release. It’s a phenomenon.

Perhaps more importantly, it’s a phenomenon that many people never saw coming. People who don’t normally play games, and who don’t play Pokémon games, are talking about Pokémon GO. 

The article features how people are brought together via the game:

  1. Created a common topic for people to talk about. The game made people share their experience with others(even though they do not personally know them).
  2. Bringing people out to explore and coming out of social isolation
  3. Getting people together as a force for good
