"Pokémon Go made my life awesome on many levels!"

#PokemonGO: I'm autistic and for years I tried to excersize more than I do now. This failed for years, but when Pokémon Go was released I finaly succeeded!When Pokémon Go was released I first was a little sceptical. It wasn't untill the official release, when I decided to try. First as a "just for fun, and a little bit" player and later more efford with walking as buddy and evolving. In november I discovered the gym system and I turned into a hardcore player. I added a morning and evening run in my daily schedule and it didn't took very long untill I started to meet other players and make new friends. In the winter my own team took over my town. There were many spoofers involved with that and the game turned boring again. There was no use for doing 2 runs a day, because there was nothing to do, I had like 15 gyms. I decided to make a second account and team up with team instinct and there made even more friends. My activity was big enough to help getting one part of my hometown a little bit yellow, while the rest remeaned red.When the new raid system was introduced the whole game improved sooo much for me. I never was fond of the new gym system, and probarly never will be. (likely because I was used earning 100 coins a day without efford, the lazy me speaking lol) But the new raid system was amazing! I brought the red and yellow team together and together we found the blue team and made a wonderfull group fighting raids. This group keeps growing and the satisfaction in the game too. Raids are the most amazing this! Also the new gym system forces teams to work together, f.e. having turns in gyms. The friendly contact between teams is growing big time! I love that!I also have been going through a very hard time. Usualy this means I lock up myself inside and do nothing and see no1. This game helped me to go outside and even do the other stuff next to Pokémon Go. I think this game prevented me for getting a burn-out this year.I hope this game stays big for many and many years! :-D via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2tvafCD
