Now there's apparently 2 PokeGyms in the park outside my office (loungeroom) window and a couple of spots to find other pokemon pretty close. Now all the kids who walk past have their head stuck in their phone until they get to the corner. Once at the corner they seem to bunch together, chat amongst them selves and make decisions on which way to go. Am sure it's got kids talking to other ones that they'd have never even spoken a word to. Year 12 students chatting with year 7 students, random groups talking to each other. I reckon this is going further towards a sense of community amongst the children and teens than any government or do-gooder outreach program ever did. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is all still meaning a big success for Nintendo/The Pokemon Company/That other dev who made the App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Westbro Church in USA Wonder how the Amish will deal with the influx lol. Am tipping they'll have no idea what a pokemon is or why there are some at their town hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with it on Gameboy and the show so has been pretty cool seeing it come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
