"What the Halloween event has done for me."

#PokemonGO: I live in a village in rural England with my mother, who is mentally ill. There's a lot of tension and arguments between us. We don't have a lot of money so it's not easy for me to go into the nearest city or large town and hit Pokéstops and hotspots every day, so I spend a lot of time feeling isolated and lonely.I've been playing since August and my pokedex currently stands at 94 caught, 104 seen. There's about 2 accessible Pokéstops in my village, the other two are on private property.Thanks to this event, today I went outside for nearly 3 hours, added 5 new Pokémon to my dex, and even saw some friends while I was out. After having so much tension and unpleasantry in my household, it really made my week, and improved my mood greatly. Instead of rats and pigeons I've been catching all sorts of spooky Pokémon and I've had a great time doing so. Thanks to the people at Niantic for making my week so much better. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2eSbQIr
