I waited on the last reflection, just so I could put in some time to really think about the experience as a whole. Since the last post on March 9th, I have been at the game everyday enjoying each time I do play, even if I am trying to hide my phone as much as possible when I played in public. Like using Snapchat in public, I do not care to share with the world what app I am using at the moment. Because ultimately, I would rather not be using my phone when in public so I can talk to people, and take things in through my own eyes.

Though by March 19th, I have gotten to level 12 and have evolved a few Pokemon, in addition to feeding them a couple of their respective candies has made their CP’s over 400. With this, the list of Pokemon captured has grown substantially, and no longer fits within one page. Plus, I have received over 10 medals for the different accomplishments in the game.

No longer do I care to make jokes about this game for the fact I have a new found respect for it. Because there would be times when I was getting on “the heater” in regards to catching Pokemone you could say, when walking from my house to the gym. Then all of a sudden, one of my friends who I am with will start giving me a hard time.

Looking towards the future, it will be interesting to see if other games will come out that will be like this in a sense, or how will other companies use this style of game play as a stepping stone into another virtual world. The game exhibits a lot strong suits when arguing how good it really is overall, but like virtual reality itself, it has a long ways to go before getting into this industries prime.

IT HAS BEEN A BLAST PLAYING VIDEO GAMES FOR HOMEWORK, AND THANKS FOR THE TERM!!!
