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)

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
