That’s a really cool way of looking at it

So I don’t have an iPhone, and I was never into Pokemon as a kid, but here I am, watching the Pokemon Go craze from the sidelines, and I have to say it’s the coolest thing.

Like, by my understanding, Nintendo has literally created an alternate plane of existence, populated by lots of creatures of great magical power, which can only be seen through a magic device–a smartphone. The last time anything remotely like this happened, people believed in fairies and were going around peering through holes in stones.

There could be a Pokemon in the room with me. I don’t know, I can’t see it. But it’s there. And I think that’s really cool.
