The Pokémon Go phenomenon continues to fulfill every child's question: what if Pokémon existed in real life?

The app recently passed Tinder in monthly active users, an amazing feat, given that the game has only been live for about a week now. 

Writer and Twitter user Jonathan Perez recently caught a scene that is an incredible real-life demonstration of the game's popularity.

The game's popularity can be seen all over. A soldier recently shared a photo of himself capturing a Squirtle while fighting ISIS. Even cops could be seen doing it while on duty.
