Pokemon GO is such a genius idea though. just listen
The biggest flaw of the Pokemon saga is the fact that it’s mainly on handheld console, so we fans kept playing inside (what was even the purpose to go outside ?) and we all had once someone in our relatives to complain (because they love to) that we stayed too much time inside. To play Pokemon GO, you can stay inside, but then only use 1% of the game, truly. The goal is to go outside, but not only, to walk, even to jog !
Always lived in a city but you know nothing about its History, or the important monuments, or even wonder if the city has some ? In Pokemon GO, the gyms and arenas actually ARE historic buildings or important monuments. This is really clever ! It makes you wonder around and admire what your country built !
On the contrary, you live in the countryside and fear to see nothing on your game map and don’t experience the gameplay at its best ? Don’t worry, trainers pals ! In Pokemon GO, you’re actually very lucky if you live in the middle of nowhere (this being said, you still need good mobile data reception or wi-fi… erm) because that’s where the developers put the most of wild Pokemon !! yay !
It counts your steps and you will keep fit while playing a video game isn’t it the most awesome thing ever
EGGS THAT ACTUALLY COUNT YOUR ACTUAL NUMBER OF STEPS BEFORE HATCHING.
The more you walk, the longer you jog, the most you’ll get medals and awards. The medals menu is super full, you can have a lot of different awards for different success (catching X poison type Pokemon, walking X steps between two Poké-stops… etc)
Oh, speaking of Poké-stops… d’you know what it is ? STREET ART. COOL SHOPS. STREET NAMES OR ADRESSES OF PEOPLE THAT DID AWESOME STUFF FOR YOUR COUNTRY. this is just re-discovering your environment and it’s very very well done
actually the cleverest thing about Pokemon GO is that all of this is free and i love it and i’m so excited can you tell
