This weekend I've been at a junior tournament in the North of England. It was a good event lots of great matches, but one thing that I found funny was when a player won or lost, they were immediately grabbing their phones, heading outside to hunt for new pokemon.

In my day when we won or lost we was back on the table getting those extra hours of practice in :)

During a practice session this evening at the TableTennisDaily showroom Pikachu turned up :D

Haha I don't know why people are getting attracted to Pokemon Go. I have played it few times since it's release and have't found it any good for me.

If you played the GB/GBA/DS games for pokemon, you will find this to be revolutionary.
If not, there is also the, get out and do something (while catching Pokemon?). You know, the % of fat people spotted outside is far bigger than before...
The game is great for socializing with other gamers unlike most other games
But if none of the pokemons in the game (Pikachu, Gyrados, Dragonite, Charizard, Blastoise etc.) gives you a kick upon encountering, I guess there is not much to do.
