The matchmaking process is relatively simple: answer a few questions about yourself and when you're free to hang out. Later, Project Fixup emails the time and location of your date, plus details about your "PokéMatch."

PokéDates is free for the first date, but successive dates will cost players $20 per matchup -- a steep price to pay to meet Pokémon-obsessed strangers. But for those who love to date but hate to plan, the service takes the guesswork out of picking a place to hang out. All you have to do is show up with a charged smartphone and a willingness to slightly embarrass yourself.

Or just look around at your local bar, where everyone is secretly catching Pokémon anyway.
