I graduated high school in 2001. I don't recall hearing Pokemon one time. When did it become big for high schoolers?

The bastards. Came up with this idea years ago.


A lot of ideas happen when people sit on them long enough...and I mean they happen by other means.


That's why it's important to get them all out there as fast and fluid as possible!!!

In before someone corrects it to "Pokémon".

I was riding the train in Osaka and saw the Nintendo building off in the distance and thought what wonderful treasures were locked in their basement.....

Apparently it interfaces with mapping software and virtually hides Pokemon throughout your local area. You have to go chase them down to the actual location on your map and catch them.

Ok that's awesome. Gets people outside

I was never really a gamer except for BF in college

Staring mindlessly at their phones.

I never thought I was a gamer because I only played single player games...in the whole sense (not MMORPG).


But I am a Pokemon Master.


On long treks I used to see if I could name all of the original 151 Pokemon. I never really did all 151, but got in like the 30s.

GFY Serious George. I'm 50 and spent 2 hours last night hooking up hot wheel track with my 2yo that stretched all through the house and raced cars with him.

Most fun I had all day

I am a Pokemon.

This is a baby pic of me.



This is me in Highschool. Was such a rebel.



This pic was taken on my 30th birthday.

Not totally sure but I think it's some new sex thing. Something to do with coat hangers and buttholes.

Spending quality time with your 2 year old is not the same as being in your mid twenties live-action role playing with a phone app.

I kinda admire the younger people in the office. Instead of arguing and reading about all the recent events, they are having a blast and going to some park at lunch to catch these things.
