My boyfriend recently downloaded the critically acclaimed Pokemon Go app. Along with this recent download has been the many strange changes I have noticed about the dynamic of our relationship. All of a sudden we're going on "romantic late night drives" and all the suddenly he's taken an interest in "historical monuments." The one thing I am still not sure of is if he thinks I don't see him playing it below the table. Because of this beloved game, I have a seven things to say, and I think many of you will agree.
1. If you can go out at 11 p.m. to hunt Pokemon-- you can go get me some ice cream and bring it to me.
I understand the dynamic of the game and the need to travel in order to find specimen, but I also understand the dynamic of my sweet tooth and the need for the sake of your happiness to show me the same love.
2. If you can get so excited about seeing a wild pidgadoto-- you better do a triple take when you see me walking out the house.
The other day when you almost made me run off the road because you found a “260 power whatever it is” I thought back to a time in which I had spent 30 minutes (which I enjoyed by the way) getting ready, looking fabulous and you looked at me and the first thing you said was, “Dude I just figured out we’re getting a Little Caesar’s down the road. Cheese bread for days.” Yeah, that’s gotta go.
3. Things will finally change if you can remember where every Pokestop is from my house to Western Canada but you can remember our anniversary.
You conveniently remembered that there is a Pokestop across from my house at the cemetery, but this year you “love me the same everyday so an anniversary is pointless.” Mhmmmm.
4. The only kinda "powering up" you need to be worried about is powering up yo bank account.
This one is actually not that relevant cause you’re a hard working fellow, but it’s pretty funny so I included it.
5. The only thing that's gonna "evolve" is Pokemon if you start throwing Pokeballs during a date.
No, contrary to popular belief, I don’t think its funny that there is a squirtel is on my left eye when we’re sitting in a five star restaurant.
6. Pokemon gyms and workout gyms are not the same thing....at all.
Telling me you “went to the gym” for like three days in a row made me proud until I figured out your secret.
7. Applying the incense thing to real life is a good idea to try.
I noticed you bought some more incense to attract other Pokemon, but have been wearing the same cologne since eighth grade...
All in all, I am actually a pretty big fan of the new game and think its a really good invention. While I don't think that I will ever reach the level of coolness of a bulbasour, I will continue to watch the world change over this crazy little app. Ultimately, I enjoyed coming up with a list of ways they can apply in real life....and a way to get myself some ice cream.
