Fun excuse to go out and exercise. I've made a handful of memories playing this game and have had plenty of fun experiences during events or just regularly playing the game. It's the closest thing to being able to go out and actually catch Pokémon if they actually existed. I'd give it a higher rating, but Niantic is pretty bad at managing this game and make plenty of greedy, questionable decisions.
Remember the hype for this before it came out?
Every Pokémon fan that I knew was asking me how stoked I was for PoGo. I told them all that I wasn't interested, and they were always surprised. They all bought in HARD to the trailers, but there was NO way the game was gonna end up like that. They had these grand imagined ideas of Pokemon in the real world fighting each other, and trading with people all over the world.
Then the game came out. None of those aforementioned mega fans that I knew seem to be playing anymore, but a bunch of my coworkers in their 40s and 50s can't get enough of it!

caught a koffing smoking a cigarette by a dumpster one time on my way home from a nicole dollangager show & it was the highlight of my year. i don't have unlimited data on my cellphone so i've long since uninstalled but i miss the way that felt & i'll always remember it. it was so silly!!!
must've been 2 years ago now, a woman who rode the bus with me to & sometimes from my old job came by when i was waiting for the ride home & we talked shit about how the bus driver's are shitty to people and their walkers, and then about the discord she was in & a meetup she was going to at city hall with the friends she made from pokemon go & she invited me along.
i didn't join the discord and i didn't go but maybe i should have. that's what games like these are for

Pokemon Go was a phenomena that was genuinely fun to be a part of. It was wild to hear the local news talking about Pokemon, or to be standing in a queue at a fast food joint and have a woman in her 60s turn around and ask if I saw the Butterfree nearby. I have fond memories of going out with my friends to go Pokemon hunting - sometimes it was at a park, often times it was at Disneyland. I know Pokemon Go is barely a game, but it's a cool experience.
This game was very fun for a time, but you experience depends on where you live and how much freedom you have to go out and wander/drive around. I stopped playing because I don't go outside enough and the game forces you to walk around to find stuff and hatch eggs. If you don't live or work near a pokestop or gym, it definitely will have a negative effect on your experience with the game
2016 was the hardest year of my life. Pokémon Go was the ONLY thing I had to keep me happy, and for that I will cherish it forever.
I've decided that this game doesn't really deserve a number score, as the worth it has to me, it's worth to the world, and it's overall quality, are all vastly different and impossible to generalize.
The last thought I have is Pokémon GO TO THE POLLS.
