Finding Loving People for Playing Pokémon Go

I'd wanted to make this month's "four fours" posts on an experiential aspect of Pokémon Go, specifically facets that pertain to the topic I'm about to discuss, but then I realized that I'm still on frosty terms with certain individuals - ones who actually used to be more loving. Therefore, I've decided to make a one-off post to address the discussion topic, instead of discussing those facets. The discussion topic, of course, involves being able to encounter and find people who play Pokémon Go and have loving sentiments, which might be easier said than done.

Having played Pokémon Go for a long time, I can definitively say that the people who play the game are just as important as the game content itself. They're involved in collaboration (raids, raid-like battles, trading, and so on), competition (primarily PvP), and cordial relations in general (information seeking, fact checking, and the like). Sure, some banter may be helpful at times, but there's no reason that the relationships can't be as loving as anything else outside of the game, which may be what those people have lost touch with.

Now to the matter of actually finding the people whom I speak of. Thanks to the addition of Campfire, it does seem easier to find people who play, but they may not turn out to be the "loving" ones I speak of - unless the seeker tends to be less "loving" as well, which may suit their tendency of gathering together, something I've also noticed. Thus, even with the presence of Campfire, the problem of the discussion point is one that may not be easily solved despite it being rather important in some ways.

Of course, if someone who is a Community Ambassador in Campfire will certainly possess a significant clout, and this can be used to the advantage of promoting communities of loving people rather than those who are less so. It may be that people who are still passionate as I am about Pokémon Go (and Pokémon in general) ought to look into trying to become one to fulfill exactly the above purpose and allow others to actually find loving people, which is the overall objective of this discussion, to be fulfilled in the best way possible. 

Meanwhile, I still have to find another point (precisely, points) of discussion for those "four fours" posts of this month, which will likely be centered on some other topic and outside of Pokémon Go. Yet the matter of finding loving people who play the game is still of some importance, perhaps not only for the good of myself but also that of the local community. Until the frosty terms I describe thaw out, that matter seems to be something that I may need to focus on while still dealing with the affairs of the game.
