Don't get hooked on the joy of playing 'Pokémon Go.' It won't last.

Are we allowed to feel joy anymore? 

A level of cynicism will eventually infect the joy of playing Pokémon Go, until we can no longer experience the happiness of finding a Squirtle on a park bench without anticipating the inevitable letdown.

Pokémon Go is not the best game ever, nor is it the most entertaining, but it has generated more communal joy in less time than any digital experience in recent memory.

Which has led us to want to tear it down. Maybe want isn’t the right word. The fact is, we will tear it down. It’s what we do.
