I'm less active during summer, because is when I can actuall play games. :P
Lol, and the pokemon madness continues. Heck, I'd probably do the same if a dragonite was spotted in the area

I'm glad I live in a suburb of Austin and not downtown of any major city. The more people you have the more problems. I'm staying away from any downtown area for a long time.
I feel very sorry for people there who don't know whats happening and thought some bad/terror shit is happening again XD
Pocky Lover Boy!
Going to local parks and 5x as many people than normal there now walking around due to this game. Sometimes someone will shout out a Pokemon name and see ears perk up as dozens of folks move over to check it out.
Never seen anything like it.

Psyche major here, and to be honest, this is more of a socioligists field.
That said, I don't think it's that much different than Candy Crush or Minecraft. See it on facebook > play to fit in > be social > repeat. Part can be contributed to the app being ingenious in it's simplicity to welcome anyone to play; part nostalgia for the twenty/thirty-somethings. But as vivister said, it's mainly peer pressure, as well as coveting.

I think it's also the app being able to draw many people to the same area making the app's popularity very visible.
