IT might not even be officially released yet, but Pokemon Go has well and truly captured Glaswegians' imaginations.
The augmented reality game, which overlay Pokemons and destinations on to real life has taken the world by storm, with millions across the globe chasing their dreams of being a Poketrainer.
Despite the fact the game has not been officially released in Britain, hordes of aspiring trainers have already been seen pounding the pavements of our Dear Green Place looking for critters in the virtual green grass.
They've taken to social media to recount their experience, so we've gathered a few accounts to give you a taste of what will be unleashed when the game is officially released in the UK.
It wouldn't be Glasgow without a touch of the patter.
Playing Pokemon go in Glasgow earlier n a charmander asked me for 20p for a cup of tea.

Truly the life of a Pokemon trainer is an all-consuming yet educational one.
Well, I got Pokémon Go and it's my life now. I have discovered more about Glasgow through Pokéstops than actually living here

This man is a scientist. So this makes him Professor Oak, right?
Cycling round Glasgow in the rain catching Pokemon and seriously considering the choices I make in life.

For those not in on the phenomenon, witnessing hordes of people cluster in one area glued to their phones may seem unusual.
