When you were a kid, did you ever wish that you could own a Pokémon? Sure, pets are cute and entertaining, but can a cat shoot electricity out of its ass? I didn’t think so.
Well guess what — Nintendo has made your nostalgic dreams come true, kind of. Last night Nintendo released Pokémon Go app for both IOS and Android phones. The game uses your phone’s camera in order to create virtual depictions of Pokémon that can interact with the world around you. The creators made the smart decision to utilize characters from the original Red and Blue games in order to appeal to older fans who want to relive the glory days of kindergarten recess.
With an older fan base playing a game intended for a younger audience, there have been some pretty hilarious results. Here are 10 of the funniest Pokémon Go Photos:

If these first batch of pictures are any indication, expect to see many more ridiculous pictures of Pokémon interacting with the real world in the months to come.
