What it's like to play Pokemon Go, according to someone who has never liked Pokemon but got the app because they felt left out

I never grew up watching or playing Pokemon. I'm a casual gamer, but Pokemon never did it for me.

But this week, all anyone can seem to talk about is the new hot free app for iPhones and Androids, Pokemon GO.

I've now clocked about 30 minutes of play time and captured three Pokemon, during which my iPhone battery dwindled from 90% to 66%.

The verdict?

It's kind of interesting, but ultimately "meh."

But if you, like me, want to see what all the fuss is about, read on.
