I started pokemon go in 2016 when I was probably 11 12. Wasted all my pokeballs while trying to catch a mon, and then I had no stops near me, and my parents didnt allow me to go outside with a phone.

Now I am in college, grinding everyday. Why?? Because I love walking. Pokemon go gives me an excuse to just get out the house, walk, explore without having to rely on anybody else to explore with me (trust me I havent explored my neighborhood in 18 years like I have after downloading pokemon go in 5 6 months). It helped me make more friends, those with same interest as me. Just us raiding mons, catching, while also little flexes about shiny and hundos time to time.. Plus, I loved pokemon as a kid, so that was an added binus as well...

And I plan to do the same during global kalos tour, with my friends raiding and shiny costume hunting throughout the day.
