Perspective can change depending on your demeanour, but take a moment to think about it.
Yes, I decided to not be a scroll zombie and go for a walk.
Yes, I decided to communicate with others that were standing around for the same reason.
Yes, I will plead guilty to socialism charges.
It's opened up a new avenue of communication across a broad spectrum. You'd be walking down the street, avoiding Pidgeys solely because you've already caught 25. But you look up, and magically you've avoided walking into people, gotten through intersections and suddenly you've reached a popular group of PokèStops.
Four PokèStops, all moduled up by an unknown superheroes. You're standing their amongst 50 others who are interested in the same thing, Pokemon. In between loading the game up between crashes, you can voice your opinion and someone will answer.
A conversation has started; wow, talk about ice-breakers.
What team are you?
What level are you?
What's your highest CP?
LOOK A PIKACHU!
Walking through the city with a friend, the comment which ensued a higher level of thinking started this trend within myself. Viral is cool, viral is adoption increasing and Pokèmon Go has started that.
The first reported individual that has quit his career as a barrister to become a Pokemon trainer. Brahhhh talk about commitment huh. Mr Currie setting the example in the world that you don't have to work to be happy! He must now find ways to make money playing a virtual game. Kudos sir. To be the greatest you'll be needed some hard cash to fund your journey. Now let me break it down for you very quickly.
Has money and loads of it.
An abundance of full-time Pokèmon Go-ers will come out of China.
In saying that, their will be kids, teens and young adults from all over the world, that take the same step as you did. Being well funded is key to becoming the very best.
VIRTUAL has now entered the REAL WORLD.
This isn't a bad thing, but a good thing. The past has proven to be a weird time to be alive.
Working 9-5 MUST become a thing of the past.
Pokèmon created a new title years ago.
Pokèmon created social interaction through gaming years ago.
Pokèmon Go has allowed us to GO out and meet others.
GO and fulfil our childhood fantasies of catching them all.
Whilst sitting at a cafe in South Melbourne, I too play Pokemon! #teaminstinct
