Dear non-Pokemoners,

I used to be one of you. I used to think that Pokemon Go was so dumb, and I didn't understand why everyone was all about it. I never played Pokemon when I was little, so I maybe I was deprived as a child. Who knows?

I was set on never downloading the app until I was surrounded by it. All my friends had it and constantly played it... Long story short: I don't like being left out.

I downloaded the app and 7 Weedles, a couple Eevees,and a Pikachu later, I was hooked. There was just something about running around, tracking a rare Pokemon that was just so fun to me. And as nerdy as it sounds, it's kind of like a mini-adrenaline rush.

So to all you Pokemon Go bashers: give it a try. It takes a couple days to really get in to it but it is super fun once you start finding new creatures and get the hang of it.

Also, be happy that all the people playing Pokemon Go are playing Pokemon Go. It gets people out of the house and getting their steps in. They're battling gems and hitting all the Pokestops instead of sitting on the couch playing video games. Be thankful for that.

Maybe one day you'll give it a chance but until then, stop bashing us and our game.

Sincerely,

A Pokemoner
