Playing Pokemon Go in my area is horrifying. There was a gym behind my house separated from literally everything else, no other poke-stops or anything, and so I took initiative to go claim it. Thatās how I ended up standing in front of a strangerās house (with their dog barking and snarling at me) right next to a homeless camp tapping a screen for five minutes. Then, I wanted to go get that Max Pokemon, so I started walking over. Keep in mind, there are no sidewalks ANYWHERE, and when I get to that road, I see itās a busy ass street that also has no sidewalks, but this time, thereās not even a ditch to walk in like I had been doing.
And I was like āDo I really want to get side-swiped by a Ford F150 for a Max Roggenrola?ā Hard pass. Also, Iām vaguely aware thereās an offender somewhere nearby, I just donāt know where.
Keep in mind, this is the GOOD neighborhood near me. People are ENVIOUS of this neighborhood because itās not nearly as bad as the surrounding ones. And still, itās horrifying.
