Pokemon Go! Or Pokemon No?

The newly released game Pokemon Go is a phenomenon...and I guess it’s a good thing?
After finishing some stuff up on campus Monday around midnight, I was ready for my nice, quiet walk home in the city of Pittsburgh. But my walk turned out quite different from my usual walks; it was still nice, and relatively quiet... but this time with a lot more people, and Pokemon.
If you’ve been online the past week, you’ve probably noticed how Pokemon Go is taking over the internet. But it’s not just the internet it’s taking over, it’s taking over people's lives - apparently, people are using the app more than Facebook and Twitter, and we all know how much we use social media.
There seems to be a lot of good coming out from this; I’ve read how people with depression, anxiety, PTSD and other health issues are coming out and meeting new people, people are getting more exercise, 'Pokémon Go' is making its way to Asia in the next 48 hours.https://t.co/r5wOwX9dHh pic.twitter.com/8yJGWNkpTg

And obviously some more negative news have come out of this as well; some people are playing while they are driving, a dead body was found, a guy was caught cheating on his girlfriend via Pokemon Go, people walking off cliffs and so on...
It’s only been about a week since Pokemon Go was released in America, as well as a handful of other North American and European countries. It’s yet to be released in Asia, surprisingly in Japan where Pokemon was created, but Niantic, the developer of this game says that it will be out shortly. But once everyone in the world has the game, what’s going to happen?
My prediction:
It’s the future. Just like Pokemon Go took over America, it does so with the rest of the world. Everybody is outside playing Pokemon Go. People are getting more exercise and becoming more social, all thanks to this game. Our life expectancy and quality of life increases significantly, as humans evolved to become physically and mentally healthier as a whole.
Borders around countries become an archaic concept, as governments recognize the need for people to freely move around to collect Pokemon. With that, racism ends and all of humanity unites as one with a single goal in mind - to catch them all. Only feelings of love, happiness, and Pokemon surrounds us all.

Capitalism becomes irrelevant, as only the market for Pokemon, known as Pokemart, becomes relevant. Despite the collapse of the stock market, we begin to live in a more fair, equal society as the world shifts their economy to center around Pokemon. The wealth gap decreases, literacy rates go up worldwide, and there are no more hungry and uneducated children. Humans have finally reached utopia.
What do you think will happen to the world after Pokemon Go?
