## Resource

Pokémon Go exploded in 2016, turning real-world streets into epic battlefields as players chased virtual monsters with their phones. With over a billion downloads and daily logins, it’s more than a game—it’s a social phenomenon that’s helped people meet spouses, overcome anxiety, and even sparked global events like the Times Square Mewtwo showdown. Now owned by Scopely (backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund) for $3.5 billion, the future’s focused on deepening community bonds and creating shared memories for families everywhere.
