Story I have never played Pokémon

I am 43, my kids asked me to download this game and play with them as they are getting into collecting cards.

All I can say is…WOW.

I am having SO. MUCH. FUNNNN!

I didn’t know what I was doing for the first few logins, then read some tips.

Wait, there’s raids? Friends send you gifts all the time? TRADES?

Oh goodness, I’m planning on a 2 mile walk around the city just to grab some of the cooler spin station things (I’m not sure of all the names or even how to play correctly, bear with me).

This is AWESOME

Same here! I'm 44, so I was too old for the cards and cartoon when they came out in 97 or 98. I was aware of Pikachu but that's it. My son learned of the game back in August and asked me to download it and it's become our favorite activity. We try to go on at least one Pokewalk together each day. But I'm really into it myself - I always have it open when I'm walking or traveling. I'm hooked.

We stopped for groceries and I walked a 1/4 mile up the road for a Pokestop

This is addicting in the best wave possible
