Once again it’s that time of the month. Thousands of Pokémon GO players flood out into the streets to catch elusive monsters that have been available for a short time. Well it’s not that dramatic. Local residents have come to recognize the signs that a new Pokémon GO event is in effect. The area becomes quite active. People spend hours walking up and down streets with their phones to their faces. It’s strange for an outsider to see but it…
Once again the time has come for us to celebrate another Pokémon GO Community day. This time around was a bit of a challenge for us because we’re on holiday! We headed south of The Netherlands and into Belgium to a little place called Zutendaal. We’re staying at a vacation park but I’ll have a whole post about that later.
