Pokémon's Back!

I really got into Pokémon when I was a kid; I used to have hundreds of Pokémon cards, collected little figurines, watched the show every day, played the old Gameboy video games on an emulator – you name it. I used to love tiffin periods back in school just because we'd trade and battle with our cards. Then we all grew up. Caught in the monotonous cycle of life, our childhood dream of becoming a Pokémon master faded away into the realm of memories. 

That is until Pokémon GO took the world by storm. My newsfeed started filling up with posts, pictures, and videos of adults walking around their cities in search of Pokémon. It feels oddly reminiscent of the trading card days. People are going out, meeting other people, and bonding over Pokémon just because of this one game. I can't wait for it to be released in our country.
