Pokemon Go, An Escape
Hello there, I'm Rojwal and welcome to the fourth post of our blog “Things to do when bored”! In this post, I'll be talking about Pokemon Go and its essence as an activity during these trying times.
As days pass by, I find myself getting very bored of just sitting around all day doing normal stuff. I know the whole point is to stay inside and be safe but the lack of stimulus everyday does affect the body and mind. So, as an excuse for going out, I play Pokemon Go as I go for a walk every morning.
For those who don't know, It is an AR game that uses GPS to locate, capture, train and battle virtual creatures called ‘Pokemon’. The core of this game is walking and collaboration amongst the players but the current situation doesn't really encourage one to play it. So in order to make the game more playable, the game’s developer, Niantic, has started adding more features like halving the egg hatch distance, increasing the PokeGym access radius, Remote Raid Pass etc. These features allow the player to enjoy the game even in isolation without the need of other players.
With these updates to the game, previous players and even new ones can play it as an escape from this monotonous lifestyle we live. That's all for this post, thank you for reading it.
