The hilarious thing about watching people talk about their experiences with pokemon go is that I just keep remembering all the edgyĀ ārealisticā pokemon reinterpretations that used to go around, and howĀ āno the pokemon world would be SO DARK you guysā.
And now there are people going around IRL catching pokemon and theyāre just likeĀ āI WENT OUT AND MADE TWENTY NEW FRIENDS AND FOUND AN EEVEE AND EEVEE IS ALSO MY FRIEND!!!ā
So it seems the pokemon setting actually wasĀ 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.
PokƩmon Go, the summer of 2016, was the last pure moment in the world & I miss it
