Well, many of you may or may not know that Pokemon Go has just been released in Singapore as of 06/08/16. I mean I did not really understand the craziness of the game when I see posts or videos online about how the game gets people hooked and how much people are willing to go to catch a Pokemon and to me, it was just stupid. Hence, when Pokemon Go was released, of course, I had to join in the fun and craziness of the game. I have to admit, it was indeed very addictive and super fun. I have quite a few poke stops just below my block and it was no surprise at all as I am staying right in front of a park. Therefore, I was super happy that I did not have to walk far to find a poke stop. When I headed down to visit the poke stops I was shocked to see the amount of people camping around at the area waiting to catch a Pokemon.
The interesting part was that we can tell that all of us are playing the same game, as we walked passed each other as we exchanged smirks and smiles. There were friendly conversations made as people are sharing tips and information on where they had caught their Pokemon. I have to admit it was a different part of Singapore I never imagine myself seeing. It was both heart-warming and sad at the same time, sad because people only began to connect with strangers through an app game. Signs, how technology has made the world smaller and bigger at the same time.
I myself and my sister are hooked by the game and we went on our merry Pokemon adventure around the neighbourhood. I am on level 9 now and part of Tema Mystic ( My sister is on Team Mystic as well). To all my Singaporean friends and Pokemon Goers out there please be safe and mindful as to where you are going. I mean it is after all the Chinese 7th month (The Chinese version of Halloween aka Ghost Festival aka Hungry Ghost festival where it is mostly for the Chinese Buddist where they pray and lay out food for their ancestors as this is said to be the month where the ghosts are released from hell and are able to freely roam the mortal world). Do try your best not to stay out too late as you may catch "other" things other than a Pokemon ><
However, the sad truth is that I got bored of it rather fast as I am not patient and I refuse to stand nor walk to hatch an egg or wait for a Pokemon which is not a Ratata or a Pigey to appear. I also kinda found it repetitive as the goal to me basically was to level up, evolve and catch new Pokemon to complete the Pokedex. I do however prefer the handheld version of the classic Pokemon game, which is much more interesting in my opinion.
I am, however, addicted to this game called Best Fiends! I have been hearing recommendations from multiple Youtubers to download and play the game as they themselves are addicted and are severely enjoying the game as well. It was the best decision of my life! The game does not even require data to play. Hence, when you are out and about you can play the game as well, or when you are in the public toilet doing your business you can sit there for hours playing it non-stop. I seriously recommend to all of you guys out there to try out this game!
Disclaimer: All my views and thoughts about either Pokemon Go or Best Fiends are solely my own opinions and point of view. I am in no way being disrespectful or paid in any way to say about any of the above games. Regardless, I am playing both games happily and are addicted to both games and what I said are based solely my views on the games after having to be playing them or what I have been observing.
