Pokémon GO

Are you guys tired of hearing about Pokémon GO yet? Sorry, not sorry.

The game was finally released in Japan last Friday, and it's been fun to see how it's changed the world around me.

JEEZ SO MANY LURES ON ONE SCREEN IN THE PARK H O L Y C R A P TIME TO FILL MY BAG

Oh man I wish I could reach a PokeStop while sitting at home! There are two, but they're outside our complex and at the end of the very busy street. Work is pretty much a dead zone for Pokemon even though I have a phone signal there. Charlie's neighborhood is devoid of stuff too--the nearest Stop is not super close at hand. I DID catch an Ivysaur while he was driving us home from dinner one time though.

I have explored a lovely park near work thanks to Pokemon Go--it's just casually hiding behind a busy street. Here's a view inside the park facing out to the street: you can see a Walmart with two pointed roof details between the trees.

I also discovered a nature preserve hiding in the midst of humble suburban neighborhoods. This is apparently a beaver pond; I suspect the water and dams and stuff are beneath the lighter green grassy stuff. The nature preserve had an outdoor classroom, a bird sanctuary, trails and a bunch of sheep that were hired

It did the first 2 weeks. But now it's winding down.

So many Pokestops! So many people! The closest Pokestop to my house is about half a mile away (ahh, suburbia), but there's one at my work so that's been very nice. My friends are all playing and we've gone out together a few times to the more active parts of town. The only place I've really seen people gather to play is a shopping center a few miles from my house. I don't think it's quite caught on so much where I am haha
