E: We met in college, and we kind of bonded over Pokémon GO. We were like “no way! You [play], too?” R: Yeah, I think one of the first times we hung out was for Oshawott Community Day, so we just spent the day catching Pokémon together. E: Community DATES rather than Community Days! R: I like how it motivates you to walk. I think hatching eggs is my favorite part of it, so I will go out of my way to walk just to hatch eggs. E: I’m more on the bragging rights side, where I play with my friends a lot - back home in Texas and in New York. And we love to send ‘Oh I got a better shiny than you!’ or ‘Oh, I got a shundo’ so I’m more for the community. -Rachel and Enrique 📍: New York City, USA Stories from #PokemonGOFest2023
