The Pokemon Go craze is in full force and shows no signs of slowing down, including in Philly. The game has encouraged Philadelphians to explore their city, thanks to the game's method of designating city landmarks as "gyms" (where you can battle against other Pokemon Go players). It should come as no surprise that Philly is full of places to catch 'em all. (Even a local guy has advertised himself as the Uber of Pokemon Go in Philly.)
