“I used to play Pokémon when I was little and watch the shows and everything, so I’m a really big fan, but it doesn’t come for my phone because I have a Windows phone. So, I’m a little bit sour about it but all of my friends play it and they have a lot of fun with it.”

“I don’t really have any funny stories but I do enjoy Pokémon Go. Well I guess this could be a funny story, I was trying to catch a Pokémon and skateboarding at the same time and I wasn’t paying attention and I ran into the wall. So Pokémon to me is dangerous but it’s worth it because I caught a really cool Pokémon after that.”

“I play it a lot. I mean I used to play the games and I haven’t played them in a long time obviously because I guess I grew up. But it’s kind of nice, like I’m doing it in between classes right now. I have a funny story but it only would be funny for people who play it. Two of my friends were out Pokémon hunting together and they found a Snorlax and for one of my friends the Snorlax was level 1200 and for the other friend the Snorlax was a level 24. It would be funny if you played it because they both found a really rare Pokémon and for one it was really strong but for the other it was like crap.”

“One time we were just sitting inside and a Snorlax came by, and that’s a rare Pokémon, that’s huge. It was like ‘Oh that’s sort of funny’ because we were being lazy, and that’s a Pokémon that’s like stereotypically lazy, so it was funny.”
