TIME TRAVEL
HOW MANY TIME TRAVEL ASSOCIATED IDIOTS ARE STILL PRETENDING THAT THEY WERE HERE AS ME, IN THIS EXACT LIFE, AS THEY LIVE LIVES ELSEWHERE AFTER HAVING COVERTLY TRANSPORTED SUPPOSEDLY FROM HERE, BUT ACTUALLY FROM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOCATION THAT IS STILL AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN TO MY ROBOTS?
PLANET EARTH'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) IS NOT CONTROLLED FROM THE OUTSIDE
Pokemon Go has taken over the world, rejuvenated a dying company (kinda?), massacred millions of phone batteries, and created lasting adventures. Before the craze is over, check out these apps to develop your skills and have the most fun.
Poke Radar - (iOS)
Everyone wants to catch an elusive Pokémon - or at least a personal fave (I swear I’ll quit the game once I catch a Pikachu). Poke Radar helps you spot which species have spawned in certain areas. This can help you and you friends find the perfect location to visit and catch whatever your heart desires. As the whole app is crowd-sourced, you should add all your info to make the data even more complete!
GoChat - (iOS, Android)
There are countless adorable stories of people meeting new friends and reconnecting with others through a passion for Pokémon Go. GoChat provides a much needed messaging platform for players and fans alike. It was created by an avid beta tester who simply wanted to create an even better experience for users. Download it to meet and keep in touch with new friends.
PokeMatch - (iOS, Android)
Single? Perhaps you’ll be interested in PokeMatch, a brand new dating app only for Pokémon Go trainers. You can filter through users by gender and team (I’m Valor in case you were wondering) and swipe through like any other dating app. If you find someone you’re interested in, you simply select a PokéStop to meet at. Let me know if you find the love of your life; I’m desperate for cute stories.
Though I’m not sure how long the mania will last, I am confident that this game has and will continue to shape mobile gaming in the future. Niantic Labs, the company behind Pokémon Go, developed another augmented reality game called Ingress; I would, arguably, call it the best mobile game I’ve ever seen. Accessible augmented reality is here, and I couldn’t be happier.
