The App everyone is talking about: Pokemon Go! I was excited about this because I was never good at the gameboy pokemon games. I loved the TV show and I collected the cards and the toys. One of the best moments of my life was getting the Pikachu Burger King toy.. but because I never played the game I feel a little excluded from the nostalgia.
My main problem with the game boy games was that it was kind of hard to catch a pokemon... but this is pretty easy. You just look for them and then swipe your phone screen and hope they don't run away from you.
I also like that it is a virtual reality game... but it doesn't really go overboard. Its done well but you still know that you're playing a videogame. You aren't sucked into the game too much. I like that they have the avatar trainers that you can customize... I'm a fan of any game you can customize like that.
And you just find pokemon around where you're at basically. You can walk around your neighborhood or go to the beach or even at Disney they have Pokestops and Pokemon Gyms.
Although I have been playing it a lot... and I do think its fun... I'd say not worth the hype. The thing about looking at your phone while walking around in public means that A) You aren't paying attention to where you're going B) You're drawing a lot of attention to your phone. And people like to steal phones. I remember getting a lot of crime alerts at college because people got mugged for their cell phones... so just be smart about it. Use common sense. Watch your kids when they play with it, don't use it in the car or hiking by a cliff. If you have an ounce of common sense... it isn't that hard.
I didn't really like the pokemon gyms either. I just don't like the gym... haha. No its just... not really my thing. I feel bad battling my pokemon. I didn't think it was that fun. I prefer catching the pokemon and naming them and going to the pokestops than battling my pokemon.
Usually I play this while I'm a passenger in a car... and its fun that way. I don't have to move any extra. I can see the pokestops and things like that... and thats pretty fun to me. I don't need to battle my pokemon or anything. I'm not playing this every second of every day... I just casually play it.
Hope this review was fun. What do you guys think of it?
