Milwaukee, Wi

Ah-- somewhere biggish. That's how you made that happen!

I do not play Pokemon, but I do live around the corner from this business:



He's an artist who does silk screen,commission art, tees, etc. He does art classes for local kids, too. I pass this building on the way to work every day. I thinkhe has all of the Pokemon painted on the building and he is a Pokestop.

It was interesting though seeing what some of the other players are like in person. All the way from the dorks who obviously still live in their moms basement, to professional looking adults to older, almost retiree aged.

Being able to take down an opposing teams level 10 gym in a couple minutes was fun

That's freaking awesome! I'm pretty sure there's a regular group that gets together like that here in San Antonio, but I'm always so busy. One of these days maybe I can join them.

And this is also freaking awesome. Love it.

That looks so cool!!!!

The synagogue where I work is a gym. For a brief shining moment I had one of my pokemon there, but I got kicked out. It's level 10 and on my team, so I shall likely never get back. Alas.

Someone will defeat it someday, LoRab!


Sherry-- that's really cool!

I did something similar last month. Traveled to Sao Paulo and went to a VGC (video game championship), a pokemon tournament on 3DS.

I felt more like an athlete for doing that than in all the other times I tried to play sports, since I suck at them all. But pokemon is a strategy game, so that was an afternoon of thinking and trying to outsmart the same kind of dorks you just described.

I got second-to-last place in the end, but now I'm practicing to get better at it. My nerd senses are screaming, but so far I've been able to ignore them and keep playing pokemon.

I would like to do that but I don't have friends who play.

I haven't lately but we should get back to it sometime. It made for nice cheap and fun date nights, lol.

Still playing!!!!! Getting back into it moreso recently.
