A Legend: Pokemon GO!

avatar

Hello, my friends, I hope you're well. Today I am here with a mobile game. It was the most popular game of the time and I was playing this game like crazy in those days. I even have a funny memory and I will talk about it in part of the post. Of course the game I am talking about is Pokemon GO!

This game was banned in our country at first and I have no idea why lol. But people, including me, found a way to download the game over the internet and played it anyway. Pokemon is an anime I've been watching since I was a kid and I loved it like crazy. You must remember the Charmander that my close friends @bemier and @pravesh0 gifted me. One of the things that makes this gift special is that Charmander is my favorite Pokemon.

As for the memory, when the game first came out, I could barely play it on my phone. I had an iPhone 4S. The battery lasted very little. I was staying at my friend's house and I said I was going out at night to hunt Pokemon. My friends said don't do it, it's too late, you don't need to do it at this hour, but I went out anyway. It started well, I caught some great Pokemon. I got quite far from home and suddenly I heard a barking. The street was empty and the sound made me nervous. It was coming from far away and when I looked I saw the dog and then I slowly started to walk away from the dog. You know if any animal realizes that you are afraid of it, it will come at you more. But the dog started chasing me and when it got closer I started running. It chased me for a while and I was looking for a place to hide. I found an open market and went in. I bought some water and waited. The dog came in front of the store and started waiting for me. It would never leave. He was just staring at me in front of the door and I was stalling. The owner was a man in his 40s. He must have realized that I was running away from the dog because he came out to chase the dog. The dog finally ran away and I waited for a while and went back home. It may not be that impressive when I tell it now but the fear and excitement I experienced that day was maybe the biggest adrenaline rush I had in those years lol. Of course I didn't tell my friends about it and I hope you won't either and keep it between us.

Let's leave the memory aside and get back to the game. There is a small tutorial as soon as you start the game, but everyone already knows the game. You throw your poke balls at Pokemon and try to catch them. Curveball throws increase your chances of catching it. Of course I started the game with Charmander, I couldn't think of anything else. At first I caught the pokemons around me without looking at their power, but I had to walk for stronger pokemons.

That's what I love about this game, it encourages you to walk. Carefully, of course. No matter what, never look at your phone while walking for a long time, make sure you are careful. When you see a pokemon you can stop to catch it. I've caught many different kinds of pokémon on long walks. There are funny, scary and cool looking ones.

These are the most powerful pokemon I've caught. I don't know if I can catch better ones in the neighborhood, but I'm working on it. I managed to catch a few Charmanders. I need to catch more so I can make it stronger.

Oh, here's another Charmander! What is he doing in this grocery store? Just kidding, that's my Charmander. He comes with me when I go Pokemon hunting. He loves walking and the fresh air too.

I plan to post about this game from time to time. Maybe I'll post an update here after I catch some awesome pokemon. What do you think? Have you played this game before?

Thank you very much for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to share your thoughts about my post in the comments. And if you are playing the game, share the most powerful Pokemon you have caught! I've seen some crazy ones online. Take care and have a great day!

Play More, Live More!

Well, yeah I won't tell my friends about the incident but I might refer them to this post so that they can read it by themselves. How about that? Xd

I have heard about this game where you madly go outside searching for Pokemon but never have experienced playing it.

What if it leads to the centre of a graveyard in the midnight and you find a real powerful Pokémon there?

Your friends may not know me, but I'm talking about my friends XD

Of course I'm not going to that graveyard. Unless that Pokemon is a very powerful Charmander 😂😂

It was banned in Turkey probably for the same reason it was banned in so many other countries, including India. Kids were going crazy after this game, some met with accident, some just walked right off the edge of cliffs etc. It got bad rep, I think. I never played it though. Walking through Indian streets and roads while holding a phone is a terrible idea for sure...lol

PS. That Charmander looks happy!

True, such things have happened. It's sad that the aim of the game is to encourage people to walk, but this is what happens. I don't know how many people are playing this game now, but it's definitely not as popular as it used to be.

Yeah he is happy!

Haha funny story about the dog. When this game came out, I remember trying it a bit but my old android could barely move it. Motivated by everything I saw on the internet, I was encouraged one day in the afternoon to go for a little walk looking for something, although I didn't have much luck. It marked me that there was a Pokemon in an area a bit dangerous so to speak, so in the end I went back home 😅.

Then I ended up abandoning it because it worked very badly on my phone.

This happened to me once. There seemed to be a very powerful Pokemon in the middle of the sea, but how could I get there? I can't play this game while swimming lol.

Bad phones have happened to all of us at one time or another XD

Yes, it is very difficult to find pokémon in some places. Especially where the population is low. I tried to play this game in my village and there were no pokemon XD
