Pokemon GO may already be “uncool”, and it hasn’t even officially launched in South Africa yet.<\/p>\n

This follows an article<\/a><\/strong> published by WIRED titled, “Breaking: It’s now cool to hate Pokemon GO” a tongue-in-cheek look at how “public opinion seems to have shifted from rabid enthusiasm\/bemused tolerance to rabid enthusiasm\/crankiness and general scorn.”<\/p>\n

They’re not the only ones to pick up on this disdain however, as people have taken to every form of social media to bash how “stupid” Pokemon GO is.<\/p>\n
