Pokemon GO might be the new kid on the block but it has taken the world by storm. From changing the way we live to the way we play our games, one cannot deny the far-reaching effects of the game, whether it be good or bad.

First launched on 6 July this year in the US, Australia and New Zealand before slowly trickling to other regions around the world, the game has grossed $206.5 million (SGD277.3 million) in its first month of operations.
And the scariest part? The app has yet to be released in major gaming markets like South Korea.

Across 70 different countries’ mobile download charts, Pokemon GO ranked as #1 in terms of downloads since it’s launch on 6 July 2016.

5. Fastest Time to Gross $100 Million by a Mobile Game
