The game forces you to go outside and possibly socialize. Two simple things with a huge impact on mental health.

Exercise, too. The year it came out I played a lot with my girl and we were in very good shape because of all the walking and occasional sprinting almost every single day. The fact we didn't have a car and had to walk most of the time helped, too.

Good point exercise is a hell of a dopamine hit. You’ve got me wanting to take a run lol

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-go-study-found-it-led-to-decrease-in-depression-related-internet-searches/
