When I left Gamescape, I noticed a gathering of people staring at their phones. I first noticed something was up, when I was going to Gamescape, in that a statue of Edgar Allan Poe was decked out with Ash’s Pokemon hat and Pokeballs. I have gone the last few years, primarily to check out the Gamescape event, which features lots of indie game designers showcasing their games in develop for the public to play. Artscape 2016Īrtscape is an annual arts festival/event that occurs in Baltimore. The sense of community and connection that Pokemon GO has brought to the world is one that I will focus on here, as I joined a Pokemon GO Meetup by accident today. While the game has clear public safety implications with distracted driving and walking, it has had numerous tremendous benefits from getting people to walk outside more, to helping autistic people interact with others. In the real world, Pokemon GO has become a tremendous cultural phenomenon in it’s short lifespan. If you don’t know what Pokemon GO is, it is likely you truly live under a rock, but it is basically a game that involves capturing Pokemon with your smartphone. It’s more likely though that I have been dragged into the unbreakable grasp of augmented reality game Pokemon GO.
