"Be nice to people playing GO despite what they look like. Some people play this game to better themselves."

#PokemonGO: I live across the street from a park, so every day I wake up and take a couple hour walk to catch some pokes, hit some stops, and possibly battle one of the 3 gyms there.During my walk I noticed a really heavy set girl (about 250 pounds) sitting on a bench at a pokestop sweating her ass off (she must of been walking a lot, and it was hot out today). I saw her try and talk to some people (2 guys and a girl) who were obviously playing the game and they just walked past her like she was no one. After seeing this I walked up to the stop, said "hey, you playing pokemon?" to which she smiled and said yes. I then said "Is it ok if I take a seat? My name is Brady." She smiled again and said she would like that. So we talked for a couple of minutes, and she told me she never played pokemon as a kid, but when she heard of this game she figured she would try it because she wanted to lose weight and make friends. So I asked why she was sitting at the stop and she said she had been walking for 3 hours (she had one of those portable battery cases), and that she wanted to take a break because it was hot and she was tired. I then asked if she had a lure or incense so she could catch pokemon while sitting at the stop. She said she doesn't have a lot of money and she used up her only 2 incense that she started with. So I decided to pop a lure at the stop so she could catch pokemon on her break. She was very happy and asked to add me on facebook and told me that I had made her day. I now have a new friend to go pokemon hunting with.Moral of the story, some people are playing the game to lose weight and make friends, please don't give them a hard time for it, you don't have to befriend them, but at least be friendly.EDIT: I Just got back from looking for more pokemon about 20 minutes ago, I never knew this post would get so big. Thank you all for the compliments, and thank you kind strangers for the gold! Its my first two three four! So thank you very much - who ever you are, you made MY day. To everyone reading this and wants to make a difference themselves: you can't change the world, but you can make someone happy, and if you do that enough, eventually it will change the world. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/29Hiep6
