Pokémon Go mania has swept the nation, calling even the most famous of fans to roam the streets and catch every last one of these things.
The release of Nintendo’s game for smartphones allows users to fulfill their dream of becoming a trainer, finding and capturing Pokémon in the real world by using the phone’s GPS system to let Pokémon “appear” in their surroundings.
With more than 7.5 million U.S. downloads and surging, it’s no surprise that celebrities who used to play the beloved game on their Nintendo Gameboys back in the day are filling up their star-studded time on the hunt.
(Miley Cyrus is a long-running Pokemon meme, but as of press time has yet to publicly support Go.)
1) Chrissy Teigen
The supermodel took to Twitter to ask her fans whether she should embark on the new journey. She soon found a new obsession.
