Hi. My name is John and I'm a Pokemon Go addict.

There was a free app that officially launched a couple of days ago. I didn't grab it until yesterday morning just to see what all the fuss was about. I'm familiar with the Pokemon universe although I can only name a few of the characters. The idea is that it brings this game to live in a VR setting. You watch through your phone and throw your pokeballs at Pokemon to capture them. Once captured you have them in your collection and you can battle them and make them stronger.

I never got into the Pokemon videos so when I first heard about this Pokemon Go app, I thought it was a great idea but had no plans on actually playing it for myself. That's when I found out the app was free so I figured I had nothing to lose.

Fast forward to the day I download the app's night and you'll find me walking around my neighborhood looking for my next creatures to add to my collection.

That's when I noticed that thanks to this game I was actually walking around my neighborhood which is something I should probably do more often. I'm mostly a homebody. I go to work, I take my kids to and from appointments and, when I'm not doing anything, I'm not doing anything. I'm just at home sitting around. This brought me out of my home. It was nice!

So, even if you're not into Pokemon, it might be worth checking out. It's free to play and, you never know, maybe you'll find yourself on your quest to be a Pokemon master.
