It's been going on for a while. Pokémon Go , a beautiful virtual game with the aim of catching Pokémon with your phone. Previously, about 25 years ago, our children already played with the Pokemon dolls, from the brand Tomy. Whole bins full we had. A few years later they were busy collecting and swapping the cards. And now, a few years later, they walk and cycle through the streets in search of Pokémon, past Pokestops and Gyms. You catch them by throwing Pokéballs. Super fun!

Of course, it's annoying for some people, but I actually see only positive things!The children (and adults) come again more often outside! They used to play alone in their room, now they go out, so very nice! You also have to walk/cycle miles/bikes (that records your phone) to hatch eggs out, so there is a lot of physical activity necessary.

At the special Pokémon points (Pokéstops and gym) people gather. At some points you can interoperate and give each other tips to achieve more. So also great socially, you get back in touch with people.

Also the dogs are now better and longer exhausted, because you also have to walk at least 2, 5 or 10 kilometers to hatch an egg. I even see fathers and moms with strollers and opa's andoma's with their grandchildren engaged in the game. How cozy is that!
