I caught a Bulbasaur and accidentally introduced my mom to Pokemon Go

I’ve been watching the Pokemon Go buzz for a while like “cool, I like that you guys are having fun” but without any real interest because I haven’t played pokemon since I was like 10 and sharing time with my brother on the 90′s gameboy that we found outside with a single pokemon cartridge still in it. I figured you had to have some sort of apparatus for it and buy a game like you would have to with DS or something

And then this morning The Boy told me it was a free app that you played on your phone.

I was walking to the convenience store for caffeine and the first pokemon I saw was a bulbasaur! CAUGHT THAT SUCKER. I like that you don’t have to battle with them, though I suspect that will change when you hit the gyms. Funny thing though, my closest gym is in the middle of the Cincy’s Best Chili parking lot. There was a Vaporeon and I wanted it but I’m only like a level three right now, so…..But I caught five pokemon on a like, quarter mile walk today!

The hardest thing to catch today was a Staryu, strangely enough. Some of the pokemon gave me the dodge and weave a bit, but that Staryu was a wiggly mofo like nobodies business.

Oh, so, I was so excited about walking around today that I jokingly text my mom that I finally found the key to me finally losing weight, and because she doesn’t like to be teased she made me tell her all about Pokemon Go and she wants to try it later when she goes for her walk at the park. So I did that.
