Pokémon Go is taking over all of our lives, and we're not really mad about it. The game, which is growing in popularity and suffering from many server issues, allows players to collect Pokémon in real life. The draw is hard (aka impossible) to resist, and if you've already succumbed to the lure (heh) of the game, you'll understand every single one of these feelings.
