10 Things You Should NOT Do With Pokémon GO

4. Get Addicted

Give it a few more weeks, and the press will happily churn out a plethora of creepy tales and heart-wrenching articles about the girl who played the game for 28 hours a day, or the young student who didn't eat, sleep or breathe since he let his game did all those things for him.

Yes, yes, yes, it's very fun. Maintaining a social life is also fun, though. After all, those .jpegs of Gardevoir won't put up much of a conversation, and slapping all your pictures on your social media pages will likely thin out your friend circle over time, as well.

The last thing you want to do is to let the game take control over your life. Answer these simple questions:

1) Are you seeing Pokémon everywhere you go, without the app?

2) Do you hum or sing the show's theme song on a semi-regular basis?

3) Have you exclaimed that you are a nineties kid on multiple occasions?

4) Recently, did you rob a child, or a group of children, of a chance at collecting a Pokémon?

If you answered three or more of these questions, you have an addiction. Consult your Digimon-loving doctor immediately. If you answered question 4 as 'yes,' then you're a cruel monster, and would make an excellent addition to Team Rocket.
