It was only a matter of time before Pokémon Go invaded college football.
Last week, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company launched Pokémon Go, a game for smartphones where players catch and train special creatures called Pokémon. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday the game has become such a smash hit that there have already been more than two million downloads on iOs devices and it’s generating more than $1.6 million in revenue daily from in-app purchases.

So of course it didn’t take long for someone to link Pokémon Go’s augmented reality with the reality of college football recruiting.
