I’ve been a huge Pokemon fan for years, but I only started playing Pokemon Go a couple of weeks ago — I finally have a decent phone, and live somewhere that isn’t completely and totally rural.

I had a bit of serendipity — the day I started playing, I googled any local groups, and I discovered a great, huge, local community — and it was community day, to boot!

Right now, I’m still struggling to level — being stuck at 23 is a pain in the ass, along with never having enough stardust — but it makes for a great journey! :)
