  Magikarp Jump hooks me to Pokemon again, and I can’t believe it

  

  Doing the math, I must have tapped my phone screen close to a hundred thousand times playing Magikarp Jump, the new Pokemon-themed mobile game. I regret every single one of those taps.

  For better or worse, Pokemon Go paved the future of AR

  

  I still remember my walks to work last July, scanning my neighborhood’s streets for Caterpies and Pidgies. Looking around, phone in hand like a pocket tricorder.
