Yes I’m playing this game. If you follow me on twitter you could already probably tell, that and you’d know what team I’m on.
At first I just wanted to experiment with the AR features of this game, but now I’m somewhat addicted to its gameplay. It doesn’t help that my friends and co-workers are playing too. I’m always amused when I come in to work, or when I’m walking to my car at lunch or breaks seeing many people wandering around looking for some Pokemon. They even tell me what I can expect to find, and where to look. So far it seems like a helpful community of players.
The downside for me is that I’m nowhere near a pokestop, or really any gym’s. I must travel a distance to replenish my ever diminishing pokeballs because I apparently have control issues where I must catch anything near me. I didn’t even leave my apartment the first few days of play and still managed to reach level 6 easily. After that it grew more difficult as it requires much more XP for each level, and I wasn’t catching anything new.
Since I joined up with at least one person each trip out it has become much more fun, then again we all tend to wonder away when we spot something interesting. Mostly I’m just trying to get my steps in to hatch these eggs I keep getting. Most exciting, at least for me, I found many Eevee’s around and was able to evolve one to its next evolution rather quickly. As luck would have it I gained a Jolteon, which people tell me is hard to do. Most people seem to be getting Flareon… oh well.
All in all I think it’s a fun game, even if it’s buggy and has server issues at times. I’m getting much more walking in, and it gives me more reasons to leave the apartment. Before I didn’t care about the outside world, I’ve the internet after all. Not that I dislike nature and things, I just am not thrilled to be around other people. Living in a city doesn’t make going out for walks desirable, at least for me. But now when I pass a person looking down at their phone, and we both look at each other with a knowing smile, I know I’m sharing a larger experience with those I pass.
