I was as surprised as anyone to discover a Squirtle in my office.

That was the first vicious creature I captured in my Pokémon career, which began last Friday, when several million Americans and I finally got through to the server and downloaded Pokémon Go, which is a thing.

Since then, I have captured six more monsters. I believe I am winning.
