The Pokemon Come and the Pokemon Go!

OMG IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!!

After almost a year of spastic-outburst riddled anticipation we finally have a rough date of release for

According to the E3 2016 Nintendo Panel, the long anticipated world wide mobile phenomenon that is Pokemon Go! will be released for BOTH Android and IOS in late July of this year.

I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t wait for this game to launch!

For those of you who have had their heads in the sand like a scared Hippopotas

Pokemon GO! is a collaboration between Nintendo and Niantic, Inc. It is an AR (augmented reality) game that will bring Pokemon into our world! This is something that Pokemon fans of all ages have been begging for since, since,….. well since we were all introduced to the lovable creatures back in 1996*Japan* (1998 *US, Australia*  ,  1999 *EU*) with the release of the original Pokemon Red and Green/Blue (US, AU, EU) on the Gameboy Handheld System. 

Thank you so much Nintendo for answering the Poké-prayers of every person in the history of frikken EVER

Sorry, back to the basics of the game.  To play the game to the fullest you will need this!

That awesome looking bracelet is called the Pokemon GO Plus, it is a Bluetooth enabled device that will vibrate, blink, and generally do weird things to alert you the the presence of a nearby Pokemon. It will be available for purchase soon after the launch of the game for $34.99 USD.  From what we can tell it is not required to play the game.

You know what, why don’t we just watch the video instead of me trying to explain just how awesome this game is, huh, shall we?

Yes, I think we shall……

And while we are at it, here's some beta gameplay!

SEE HOW EFFING AWESOME THAT WAS?!?!?!?!??!??!?!?!

Thank you, Nintendo, for this. Thank you so very much for making the dreams of so many of us “child at heart” adults, and imaginative little ones a reality. There is no amount of thank you that expresses out gratitude.
