20 Things I Think About When Playing Poké​mon Go

I downloaded Pokémon Go a few hours after it was released and I was instantly addicted! Hooked, I tell ya! And so are the people around me. It is surprising how viral this game went.

With my legs taking the lead and me not paying attention to my surroundings, I suddenly find myself at the park or on campus. Next thing I know, I’m in a random neighborhood. It seems sketchy, but it’s about catching all ‘em Pokémon. I played so much during the first few hours that I was instantly in level 5 and already fighting in gyms. When I’m playing, here are some of the things I think about and I’m sure you have as well -- oh, and minus the cuss words:

1. I’m finally going to be a Pokémon master!

2. Which starter shall I choose?

I guess, I can choose Charmander. But Squirtle is so cute. I guess, I’ll go with Bulbasaur.

3. "Servers are down again?"

I'm honestly so tired of this game. (keeps restarting)

4. “This game is rigged, why is it glitching?”

Literally me when the game glitches mid-catching.

5. (Sees friends on Facebook catch rare Pokemon.)

Me: Ya'll are nerds

6. Me (catches a rare Pokemon): I just got lucky.

But I'm actually dancing and gloating in the inside

7. Wait, slow down I see Clefairy coming up!

I remember seeing Clefable nearby. It popped up, I clicked it, and the most unfortunate thing just happened. I ran out of Pokeballs. Unbelievable!

8. Fear: Running out of Pokeballs.

I should go to campus or to the park to reload at the Pokestops.


9. Who's nearby?

OK. It says Pikachu is three feet away, and I've walked three feet or so in all directions! Where on Earth could it be?

10. Can you turn right slowly? It says two feet on Snorlax.

Or actually not. I should have said turn left.


11. “OMG! I can evolve an Eevee!”

Silent prayer: Not another Jolteon please.


12. “Why can’t I just catch a Mewtwo or something?”

Only sees 50 Ratattas and 100 Zubats.

13. “Here’s a razzberry -- please don’t escape.”

- Gucci good boy -- dang it, I missed.

14. “Don't make me use my Great Ball!”

- And of course, I’m out of great balls.

15. “Hey isn’t he supposed to be dead by now? The gym is glitching.”

Your life is already wasted, why are you still wasting my time?

16. Changing routes.

“I have time, I will probably use the longest possible route going home or going to work. I hope I’ll catch a rare one.”


17. I don’t have to go to the gym, this is my workout.

(Walks around in circles.)

18. “I wish I lived next to a Pokestop.”


I will stick with my limited supply of incense for now.

19. Oh? Egg hatching. “Please be a rare one."

- *(Gets a pidgey.) I guess, it's fine.

20.

My silent prayer: Please don’t escape.

Literally me when I saw Snorlax and Venusaur blocking the

road.
