10 Ways to Tell You Are Addicted to Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go has netted about $160 million in total revenue, users are spending  on average 26 minutes per day in the app in the U.S., and users are opening the app around 6 times per day. It might be time to add Pokemon Go to the addictions list. I decided to develop 10 ways to tell you are addicted to Pokemon Go.

10 Ways to Tell You Are Addicted to Pokemon Go

1. You curse at Pokemon after you spend 8 Poke Balls trying to catch them and they just run away. Especially, if they are a Pidgey.
   
2. You plan your route to and from places based on the number of Poke Stops you will pass.
   
3. You look for restaurants with Poke Stops for your lunch break. Especially, when someone already has put a lure on it.
   
4. You have battery life of only a few hours for your phone.
   
5. You always have an extended battery pack on hand for your phone.

6. You make up silly nicknames for the various Pokemon you can’t pronounce or can’t remember their name.
   
7. You think your street cred has gone up when you take over a Poke gym.
   
   
8. You wish you could trade Pidgey candy for beer, food, or rent.
   
9. You are sad that Pokevision no longer works and you will just have to wonder aimlessly to find Pokemon.
   
10. You let Pokemon Go run in the background while driving around hoping to get a few extra steps to hatch your eggs faster.
