11 Signs You're A Pokémon Go Addict
vita.it

1. You have newly purchased Pokémon merchandise all over your room.

And you have no shame.


2. You know how to get Pikachu as a starter

And if you don't already know, here is how. When asked to choose a starter Pokémon, at first glance it would seem the choices are slim between Bulbasaur, Charmader, and Squirtle. This is similar with the Television series and the original Gameboy Game. In the television series, Ash was given Pikachu by chance because he was late and the other choices were no longer available. Compared to the show, if you make the game think you don’t want the other Pokémon choices, they will make Pikachu an option. Simply walk away from the trio a few times and he will appear. You’re welcome.

3. You walk around the neighborhood at 2am...

4. And Downtown at 3am...

5. And the park at 4am...

6. Your trips to the gas station double

Why walk when you could drive?

Japan: “Let’s design a game that incorporates exercise to a huge game franchise. People will be working out and not even notice they're doing it because they’re enjoying themselves so much! Users will be in shape and it’ll be great!”

USA: lol

7. You defend your addiction by saying "I don't even really play like that"

All Pokémon Go users have encountered at least one Pokéhater. Whether you hide it or embrace it, you know in your heart that you’re on your way towards reaching your lifelong goal of being a Pokémon Master.


8. You changed your phone plan so you'd have enough LTE to "Catch Em All"

And you ordered a solar power case off the internet so you’d never run out of battery power.

9. You can recite all of the Pokémon in Pokédex order

Guilty as charged.

10. You take a trip to New York City just to visit the Pokémon Center.

Which, by the way, is the coolest thing ever.




11. Every time you use a Pokéball, you turn your hat backwards.

Ash does it, so why can’t you? It’s all part of the effect.

Pokémon Go is an amazing game without a doubt, and if you haven't tried it yet, you need to go download it. Now. The problem is, like with any game, you have to be careful about how much time you're spending in the virtual world. With Pokémon Go you're using the real world to interact with the virtual world. It's an amazing experience and for those of you who have always dreamed of "growing up to be a Pokémon master," this is definitely the game for you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
