As I mentioned in my previous post, I am slightly obsessed with the phenomenon that is Pokémon Go. Judging from the amount of people I see every day following Lure Modules and traveling to various gyms across town, you might also be a Pokémon Trainer--and if that's the case, then this is the post for you, my friend. … Continue reading Book Tag: Pokémon Go!
