8 hilarious (and terrifying) Pokemon Go stories from the week
Pokemon Go is blowing up. So much so that Nintendo, which owns a third of the Pokemon franchise, has seen its shares soar to near double their value since the release of the monster hit. Not so much its financials, but that's another story.
