Identify (March 3rd)

Daily update: today I added some new Pokemon to the collection of what I own. For instance, Spinarak was one of them. It was annoying I tried to capture him a couple of times before, but never did. I also even added a Staryu! This was one of my favorite Pokemon as a kid, and it left me pretty content after capturing it. Lastly, I am passed level 6 now!

Today I was thinking about who I am, and what I represent in this game. Personally, I identity as male, and with this have a male character. Looks wise, I thought well my avatar needed a make over, and in the spirit of the fact I miss the sun, I gave my character a little extra color to his looks. Continuing, I started to think what do I represent inside the game outside of my image. Well that is, being a member of the blue team A.K.A. team mystic. With this, my avatar should not be wearing yellow, but instead blue seems to be the appropriate color! Plus having a black backpack would add a little swagger to the looks.

All this said, I find it interesting it is very hard to see other people’s avatars. It would be fun to see what others have done with theirs, and this would allow us gamers to see how people project into this cyber reality. If this be a person using a different gender than that they identify with, or even race. Understanding why people chose to use something different then what they personally identify with could go to show more about them to some degree, and at least give credit to their creativity. I do not know what it is, but i feel like every trainer who represents a gym looks exactly the same.
