Well, my kids and I just got started with the new, big craze…dare to guess?? It’s all that people are talking about (according to my kids anyway and I have heard a lot about it over the radio, as well!) POKEMON GO‼️ Talk about a big, or rather, a huge comeback! Yes you can still watch the shows on Netflix (I have a six year old son…and a hubby who’s a bit of a “gamer”!) and some people still buy the cards to play the game. However, this brand new and innovative game has put Pokemon back on the map…literally!!! You don’t need to be a big time gamer to see that. Yes, people are looking for Pokemon while driving (stupid) or walking into traffic, jumping fences into strangers back yards and wandering into poles, trees, lakes and the street. But guys, I’m no “gamer” myself and this generally isn’t a blog that reviews products or apps.  But, this game is fun!! And what an original idea. Also, you have to get your butt off of the couch (I, myself, was lucky enough to witness my oldest push herself up and out of her “butt grooves” on the couch in order to go for a walk with her siblings…so, this game is truly miraculous in my eyes!! Every other tactic to move her has failed, but this game got her moving and it did so right from the get go!!!!) And, you actually have to move!! You have no choice!! The app uses GPS, not a pedometer type tracker. So you can’t shake your phone up and down in an attempt at fake walking…nope! It won’t work!! My kids caught an egg on mine. In order for said egg to hatch into a brand new baby Pokemon, I must walk, with the app open, for 2km!! Yep, this game will get people off of their arses!! The main gist of the game is that you are trying to hunt down and collect as many Pokemons as you can. You can also go to the gymnasiums to “fight” other people’s Pokemons. I’m assuming this is how you get money for the game. I’m not big into fighting, I’ll probably just be one of those crazy people who tries to collect as many Pokemons as possible!! Of course there’s ways to spend real money too, like getting the “pro” app, in app purchases, etc. etc. My kids want me to get as many Pokemons (is that even the plural of Pokemon, or does it just stay the same???) as I can when I’m in Nashville next week!!  I can’t believe it’s only one week away!! Holy cow! I’m getting super excited!! I’ve been told that Summit is tons of fun, but that it’s also exhausting, it’s just go go go from activity to activity. So, I’m not sure I’ll have much spare time to be Pokemon hunting, but you never know!! For tonight though, I’m done with Pokemon hunting, as well as writing. I’m beat!! Have a great night all!! 😴😴😴 And if you’re out hunting, it’s time to put the phone down and go to bed!!💤💤💤
