Um… how the fuck is there a lure on an unreachable pokestop? Like, I’m watching this thing, and there are no boats near it. Why is there a stop even out there?
I mean, I have a kayak at home. I could go get it and paddle out there just to see what the deal is. Is it worth it?
I AM FUCKING DOING THIS.
I am literally sitting here in a kayak catching pokemon, and I still can’t figure out how someone got a lure on this pokestop. It’s just me out here, no other boats, like what the hell. People on the shore are staring at me. I can feel them judging me for actually paddling out to this pokestop. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL.
When I got back to the shore, a guy asked me if he could borrow my kayak to get the pokestop, and now I’m charging people $10 a pop to use it.
Pokemon is amazing this is like those moments when you would play the games and you gotta use “Surf” to see what item’s on the sandbar across the way
My first instinct was to dismiss this as a fabrication but then i remembered that summer 2016 was just like that
I was playing pokemon go the other day with friends and I managed to hop into a kyogre raid last minute and it started to rain really, really heavily. we joke and say “kyogre’s drizzle made it rain!” and laugh about it and proceed to take it down pretty easily. so i’m trying to catch this bigass blue whale with a waterlogged phone screen, huddled under a tiny umbrella with the two friends that were watching me do this, and I manage to actually curveball and catch kyogre. the ball clicked with its little star animation and all at once – the rain just abruptly stopped
the heavy as hell, soaking us to the very bone drenching the socks in our shoes rain lasted the duration of the raid until the exact second that ball clicked
it was the most surreal moment of my life. i think i may have just completed pokemon sapphire irl.
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

You know how your cat always seems to stare off into space? Turns all they’ve been looking at Pokemon all this time. Only now has Niantic given us the technology to see them, too.
