Some kids rolling by on skateboards asked me if I was playing a couple days ago. I politely said no. It was windy and I was looking at my reflection to see if my hair was messy. True Pokemon Go story.

Yeah it's not uncommon to have people asking other groups of people if they happen to be playing it since the tracker is still non functional me and my mates have resorted to talking to strangers to ask them if X has showed up for them in their travels and such.

One time it was class because we seen a group of students coming towards us and wanted to ask them had they encountered a Staryu, turned out they were Spanish students with zero english but perfectly knew what I meant when they heard me say Staryu, pointed us directions to go get him, we repayed them with a point and said "Slowpoke" they seemed rather happy to have gotten a tip. Was an experience only made possible by something like PoGo so I can thank the game for that.

That's pretty cool I must say.
