As evident on this blog, sometimes I need to travel - for things like other general needs, festivals or conventions, and of course for Pokémon Go matters. Pokémon Go is a great traveling game because... that's what it's meant to do: it's to get people to go outside and go places, which also implies traveling. Certainly, for the purpose of Pokémon Go, that would involve meeting up with (visiting) friends to take on battles together or even battle each other. For this post, I'd like to recollect how and where those visits might happen.
One of those visits is at the home of one such friend. That friend had a simplistic home - and it turns out the elements of Pokémon Go around the house were rather simplistic too, yet seemingly sufficient to start play before going somewhere else. And while that friend is on a bit of a hiatus from Pokémon Go, I still have the friendship link, as well as a Lucky Trade memento from an earlier time. It might be some time before that friend gets back to playing Pokémon Go, but there is comfort that it can be done from that house.
Then, when I go to a certain faraway place, there is a friend of not just Pokémon Go affairs but also Pokémon in general, and I have the courtesy to hit up that friend when certain Pokémon Go matters pop up and I'm in the area. We've spent Raid Days together, so that's one point of convergence; we haven't had (an edition of) Community Day together, though it might be something to fancy for when the occasion is right. Overall, I'm very happy to have connections to this friend, allowing for Pokémon Go visits with that friend.
In another place, I've spent an afternoon and evening at a café with many Pokémon Go Trainers, some familiar and others less familiar. In fact, most of us happened to be "visitors" to that place, and we were all equally sharing the experience with those of the local Trainers. This has not happened again since - and there was one opportunity that I missed (perhaps for good reason) - but I'd like to think that such a visit can and will happen again. Likewise, the circumstances have to be right, but that will hopefully make for a good visit.
Sometimes, Pokémon Go - if not other matters - demands me to visit different and out-of-the-way places on occasion. Yet, knowing that there are other Trainers out there whom I can visit and have fun with, in particular together as friends, makes me happy and desire to do so whenever the opportunity arises. It certainly will take time and effort to arrange, but in doing so, I'm fulfilling an objective of Pokémon Go itself as a game that does make one get up and go - and of course, visit places and make new Trainer friends.
