OKAY I HAVE ZERO POKÉCHILL.
Guys. What a couple weeks it’s been. I’ve said it a lot and I actually kinda mean it– I prefer this world to the one that existed a few weeks ago before Pokemon GO launched.
I have it bad- all the nostalgia and all of the novelty and cleverness of transforming the map of well-trodden and familiar places in New England into mysterious hunting grounds pregnant with possibility? Genius.
It plucks all my arty heartstrings- and that’s not even mentioning all the delightful interactions with strangers and neighbors, old friendships rekindled over an evening of pokestop-walks, family outings with my sibs to track down Squirtle. SO my jam.
Bulbasaur was my starter all those years ago when I still remember getting the blue cartridge on the hall steps of my Oma’s house (I promptly burst into tears)- and knowing he could be hanging out in the tall grass of any park? Heeee ^_^ 🍃💚🍃
Very probably things will die down and the moment will pass eventually- but I’m really grateful to get to relive childhood with every other nerdy denizen of the city. My buddy Trag said- “it’s like a little comic con in every park.” That’s a world I feel a little more welcome in than the one before it.
How have your pokéjourneys been? Tell me your stories! :D
See you on the road! #pokemonGO #TeamMystic #Pokemon #bulbasaur #pokemonart #illustration #procreateapp #ipadpro #applepencil #bulbasaurisbae
