If you've seen any millennials this week, chances are they were hanging out in groups outside old churches, libraries, and gyms staring excitedly at their phones and then running to catch invisible pocket monsters. That's right, Pokemon Go has taken the nation by storm, and those who have downloaded the free smartphone app are catching 'em all (while getting exercise and gaining a new awareness of their neighborhood's features). We checked in with our favorite LGBT comedians to see what they are tweeting about the enhanced reality craze.
It's a slippery slope, my friends.
\u201cPokemon Go is a gateway drug to Parkour.\u201d— Guy Branum (@Guy Branum) 1468368750
It can be hard to tell who's playing and who just lives outside.
\u201cHey Pokemon fans, if you like talking to imaginary characters in a park, you're going to love the ending to Blue Jasmine.\u201d— Louis Virtel (@Louis Virtel) 1468360246
This adorable lesbian couple let us tag along on their pokewalk.
\u201cNEW VIDEO! We went and played #PokemonGO around Hollywood! We are obsessed :) https://t.co/555X5WwPES\u201d— erika&frida (@erika&frida) 1468362895
Priorities.
If you're not talking about Black Lives Matter or Pokemon GO, I want nothing to do with you.

Can we not play both?
Everything is more fun when you can feel a little Christian guilt about it.
Anyone else having their reality enhanced outside the game too?
\u201c"wait is that a real life Pok\u00e9mon"\n\n- me seeing a butterfly\u201d— Hannah Hart \ud83c\udf4b (@Hannah Hart \ud83c\udf4b) 1468286041
Trans comic Riley Silverman is not feeling it.
Also, is this going to require pants?
This game may be the death of privacy.
\u201cA flock of ten people all pointed their phones at me and my friends while we were having dinner tonight. Pokemon needs to GO.\u201d— river buddy butcher \ud83e\udd20 (@river buddy butcher \ud83e\udd20) 1468215511
The future is now.
Adulting.
\u201c"I know we're on vacation and it's an hour away, but we can 100% go to this really awesome Pok\u00e9mon spot." - me as an adult discussing life\u201d— Hannah Hart \ud83c\udf4b (@Hannah Hart \ud83c\udf4b) 1468201026
Yes, please.
\u201cI just found a Pokemon in my bedroom. Is #PokemonGo the new #Grindr?\u201d— Michael Bellavia (@Michael Bellavia) 1468094961
This really does change everything.
Several things wrong here.
\u201cI'm in *RURAL* PA, and all the #pokemongo gyms & spots are scary old country churches. Also, I'm too old for #pokemon and what is #pokemon.\u201d— Timothy Dunn (@Timothy Dunn) 1468084223
Or that.
\u201cThought I found a Pokemon but it turned out to be adulthood.\u201d— Louis Virtel (@Louis Virtel) 1468013803
