Creative Minds Who Invented Pokémon Go,

The reason behind the fame of your game is obvious. For all the kids who started playing Pokémon in the late 90's and early 2,000's the game you have developed has been a dream come true. For years kids have been craving to live the life of a Pokémon trainer and catch all the Pokémon they can, and that is exactly what you gave them.

However a lot of complications come with the popularity and publicity of this game. There is the obvious issue of people’s awareness of their surroundings but aside from that many larger issues have been arising. People are using the game to lure in victims of crimes, teens are "Pokémon and driving,” the police are having issues left and right with this addicting game. Our population has been brainwashed into a world they wish they had years ago. Although it seems to be amazing, the negatives seem to be outweighing the positives when people put their lives and safety at stake just to catch a Jigglypuff.

Being a fan of this game along with the all the other enthusiasts, I believe some changes can be made to improve the game and create a safer environment for Pokémon Goers. The biggest change being the location of the Pokémon. The creatures should be placed carefully to avoid conflict, putting a Weedle in a funeral home isn't ideal. Nor should there be any Pokémon on the edge of cliffs or in the middle of streets. Making gyms and stops should also be looked over more carefully. Going for a nice dinner at the cheesecake factory shouldn't include seeing a crowd of people with their eyes glued to their phones battling each other. Pokémon should not be able to be caught when driving or going over 25mph.

Other fans also have great ideas on how to improve the game and their advice along with mine could do wonders for your game. Instead of spending all the money you're making on yourselves, think about using it to better the poke-community. I'm sure you can spare some of your millions to spare a few lives and crises.

Sincerely,

OliveOlio (Mystic Team)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
