Pokemon Go became a worldwide phenomenon overnight when, by the looks of it, the whole world started catching little colourful creatures with their phones. The app is unbelievably popular and raised Nintendo to new heights. So it's no surprise that others are jumping on the Pokemon Crazy train too.

From discounts to charity, from zoos to shelters. Looks like everyone can find how Pokemon can be beneficial to them.

Below you can find a few of the examples of how people use this Pokemon craze. If you have anything else to add to this, be sure to do so!
