This isn't really a creative piece just a little post about the new app Pokemon Go. Firstly, let's begin with that I am practically obsessed with it. I played the Gameboy Games growing up, and I even followed them onto the DS and 3DS etc. This app is everything a Pokemon fan would adore, it's not only bringing back those precious childhood memories, it allows you explore your city and go searching in reality for all your favourite Pokemon, it also allows you to use and share the Pokemon knowledge you gained as a child, like finally something you can use that information for and look like a bad ass for doing so. I love the fact the weather, time and place effects the Pokemon around you, it is amazing. I find myself going on little walks just to reach the distances for my eggs to hatch, which is obviously good for my Pokedex but my health as well. It gives me a chance to geek out a little when my friend asks what Pokemon does the shadow belong to and I can reply instantly without a second thought. Since the release of this app, I think I have been seeing my friends and even some family members more due to our need to go out catching more Pokemon, finally something all my friends are practically involved in, thank god for Pokemon Go! It is definitely a huge advance in the gaming industry, no doubt there will be more gaming companies jumping onto the virtual reality bandwagon!
- My favourite catch so far is a Growlithe in my living room, yes I am incredibly lucky!
