Great reading didn’t know there was so much to learn about Pokémon go. 👍

Well, i guess i am one of the very few who has never seen, let along played, Pokémon. Can’t help but to have heard of it. I wasn’t aware that they managed to connect it with GPS and place it in your neighborhood, getting one off their couch and out of doors! That’s cool!! Thanks Ben. (Have you read about GPS yet?)

Pokémon Go is very nostalgic for me. I took my kids on adventures when that came out, too.
