Is Pokemon Go a distraction from the real issues?

I'm just wondering , it seems like this game came out at the "best time", during a lot of social unrest and major issues in this country. Everyone is all zombied out playing this game, I'm not gonna lie.... I tried but I really don't see the big deal. But it already served it's purpose ....people already lost focus and as people we gotta wake up and stop falling for all this bogus shit.
