It’s hard to go anywhere without hearing talk of the newest trend sweeping the nation—Pokemon Go. But, have you heard of the craze that’s been around for centuries? It’s more difficult than the new game, though the rewards are far greater (well, on most days).
It’s called PokeMOM Go, and it’s been around since the dawn of time.
It shares a lot of similarities with the phone game. It drains you. You wander around aimlessly, unsure where you’re going or if you’ve done the right thing. You can easily see what your friends are up to. It’s exhilarating, exciting, frustrating. You share all your victories on Facebook.
Like the game, there are levels in PokeMOM Go. Not every little thing you catch is worth the same amount of points. In fact, some things are so elusive they’re hardly ever found. You get the most points for those if you happen to be lucky enough to catch them.
