Trump and Clinton just jumped on the 'Pokémon Go' bandwagon

In a sign that we might have hit peak Pokémon Go, Hillary Clinton's campaign just announced it's holding an event at a PokéStop on Saturday.

Fans of the game or politics (or both) can indulge their loves at Madison Park in Lakewood, Ohio, according to an announcement from her press office.

In a statement so excitable it warrants three exclamation marks, the event page says: “Join us as we go to the PokéStop in Madison Park and put up a lure module, get free Pokémon, & battle each other while you register voters and learn more about Sec. Hillary Clinton!!!”

Kids welcome, it adds.

Clinton even referenced the game in a hilarious joke at an event in Annandale, Va., on Thursday.

No, really, she did.

It didn't end there.

Trump's team was quick to create a really cheap video gag referencing the game later in the afternoon.

Guys, please. Stop.
