Here at CNET, we were in the thick of it all. Many here who had played the original Pokemon games as kids couldn't wait to see the augmented reality version, and those that didn't (myself included) wanted to see what the excitement was all about.

Chasing Pokemon can lead you just about anywhere. Bailey Whitehead - video production intern: "I had no idea what Pokemon Go was the day it came out, all I knew was that it was going to be big.

We called it, "What you look like playing Pokemon Go" and it went viral on CNET's Facebook."Editor's note: Watch the video at the bottom of this post.

Ashley Esqueda - senior editor: "Once, I took my friend Jessica to a cemetery where we looked at the graves of old Hollywood stars and also caught some Pidgeys, I've iphone case light up never played a Pokemon game in my life, but there you go."Christine Cain - social media manager: "I needed to find a new roommate during the height of the Pokemon Go craze, There was a Pokestop accessible from my living room and I thought about raising the rent by $100, (I didn't do it, but I thought about it.)

"As if learning how to keep a human alive wasn't enough of a challenge, I decided to take up a new hobby: trapping Japanese cartoons on my phone. Going on brisk Pokemon-catching stroller walks was a fun, healthy way to get me out of the house during my maternity leave and distract from my perpetual lack of sleep.

My usual park was packed with a diverse group of people who seemingly only had one thing in common: they all played Pokemon Go. I remember joining a group of strangers who had only just met each other, then spent several hours walking around downtown Mountain View catching Pokemon and fighting for gyms.
