Since it's release about a week ago 'Pokemon Go' has literally gone viral. Only available in the US, Australia and New Zealand, the popular 90s game has FINALLY arrived on your smartphone and given its worldwide cult following its not a surprise things have taken off so quickly. Trouble is, with so much data and battery usage you'll need your own powerbank to keep playing all day!

Gotta Catch Em all

If you're late to the party, Pokemon Go is the newest app from Nintendo and Niantic Lab (Owned by Google's parent company Alphabet). It's the first Pokemon offering since game boy and has struck a nerve for us millennials with Android forecasting that it's Daily Active Users will soon surpass Twitter!

So how does it work? Well it's Augmented Reality, the first of what will be many games, apps and general day to day things that will involve the new technology. Basically, it's Pokemon in real life - sort of. You wander round your city or area and get a notification that you've come across a Pokemon, the software will then augment it into your actual setting where you can try and catch it.

As always, the aim of the game is to ''catch em all'' with 151 different types of Pokemon to find and catch! The craze has become so popular, that its starting to cause real problems at Pokestops (these are real life locations you can collect more pokeballs)

With Australia and New Zealand well into the craze - we just wonder how many injuries, redundancies and troubles there might be caused by Pokemon Go!
