In just one week Pokemon Go has become a national sensation, soaring past apps like Tinder and now challenging Twitter for the most used app daily by people in America.

If you're out of the loop, Pokemon Go is an "Augmented Reality" game where your phone is used to track down wild creatures called Pokemon in your local area using a map overlay. It is considered "freemium" because while it is free to download, extra items to help you progress faster cost real money.

Players can also stop at "Pokestops" for items and battle "gyms" for control of areas that are points of interest in any given town.

Think of it as a giant scavenger hunt to be the very best.

As the game mentions when you boot it up, be aware of your surroundings at all times while playing the game and please don't dangerously multitask while playing, like trying to catch an Eevee while driving, it's not safe.

So with Pokemon Go's popularity continuing to rise we decided to look at some of the best places to catch Pokemon in the Lansing Area.
