Pokémon Pornhub searches increased 136 percent since 'Pokémon Go' launched
Rule 34: If it exists there is porn of it.
One of the oldest rules on the internet continues to prove itself true over and over again, this time in the wake of wildly successful augmented reality game Pokémon Go.
Since the game was launched in the U.S. on July 6, the masturbation professionals over at Pornhub say that Pokémon searches have surged in a new insights post. On July 11 they were 136 percent above the daily average.

Non surprisingly, 18 to 24 year olds were 336 percent more likely to search for Pokémon porn, compared to 25 to 34 year olds, who were 47 percent less likely.

Pornhub uses Google Analytics to access its data which uses affinities that determine likely interests based off users' previous Google searches and internet activity. Using that data, Pornhub found that adventure and strategy, roleplaying and action gaming fans were among the most likely to search for Pokémon when it came time to flick the old bean.
Although Pokémon Go has only been released in the United States, Australia and New Zealand at the time of writing, Central and South America seem to be anxiously awaiting its release.
Sup, Bolivia.
