Pokémon Go Producers Attacked By Strange Plaintiff-Beasts

Nostalgia

Remember Pokémon Go? We ask because it's been nearly two years since it was released.

Back in 2016, the game was a huge fad, and many people still play it. If you weren't part of the craze, or have since forgotten because a hundred years of events have occurred in the intervening months since its release, here's a refresher.

They then use Pokémon from their collections to have creature-to-creature battles with other players.
