Pokemon Go arrives in Ada - it's the nation's latest game craze
By Monty Siekerman
If you haven't heard of Pokemon GO, consider yourself a hermit. The free app, released just this month in only a few countries, is the most popular game ever in just a few short days.
In fact, you'll find people wandering around Ada, especially in the cool of the evening, trying to find targets, such as the train station, cannon, churches and businesses. There are many targets at ONU.
Here, Steve Cramer and his son, John, of rural Ada, find the Liberty National Bank target. Now they are after the Ada Theatre, which is held by Taurus and Snorlax.
Whether the Cramers defeated the others wasn't known at press time.
In any case, John plans to head to India soon to finish his high school career there as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student. Besides graduating from high school in India, John hopes to be the best Pokemon GO player in the country of one billion people because he has a leg up on the competition.
PokemonGO hasn't been released in India yet, but John will have playing experience under his belt by learning the game with his dad in Ada.
