The hilarious thing about watching people talk about their experiences with pokemon go is that I just keep remembering all the edgy ‘realistic’ pokemon reinterpretations that used to go around, and how ‘no the pokemon world would be SO DARK you guys’.
And now there are people going around IRL catching pokemon and they’re just like ‘I WENT OUT AND MADE TWENTY NEW FRIENDS AND FOUND AN EEVEE AND EEVEE IS ALSO MY FRIEND!!!’
So it seems the pokemon setting actually was pretty damn accurate.
I was just at a park by a lake with crowds of people as thick as if there was a fair, all playing Pokemon Go. People rode by on bikes, trying to hatch eggs (one was playing the bicycle theme song on a speaker). The only thing people talked about was Pokemon.
It looked and sounded exactly like I was actually walking down a Route in a Pokemon game. The whole thing was completely surreal.
Pokémon Go, the summer of 2016, was the last pure moment in the world & I miss it
pokemon go is at it’s second highest user count since the summer of 2016 actually, now is a great time to get back into it if you dropped it! you can friend people now!
playing with them can kill them when they’re tiny – each ‘mouth’ can only withstand ~3 closing cycles mechanically, each closing cycle is a huge energy investment, and of course growing new ‘mouths’ is a huge energy investment. if you want to watch them, get a bug to feed them.
not to be a downer but your twenties are super hard and super lonely and tv lied and it’s not glamorous at all and if you are having a hard time it’s ok and it’s normal and you’ll be ok
