Pokemon Go Is Back and Better Than Ever
People are back downtown Lufkin playing Pokemon Go!
Lots of new interest has been stirred up as a result of the new upgrades to Pokemon GO! There is a lot more to do, and the game is evolving. Now people are, a year later, back on the main streets of Lufkin. Why? I thought you would never ask.
1. New Gym Badges
2. Team Battles
3. Raids
4. Invites
5. Legendary Pokemon
All of these things together, and a year to forget all the pitfalls of wearing out your shoes, and needing to carry around spare batteries for your phone, are putting people back on the streets.
I remember when we shot that video. So much has changed in a year. This was before Trump was president, and Pokemon Go was a fad everyone was enjoying. I remember driving the K-Fox SUV around downtown with the Pokemon song blaring. Those were crazy times.
I kinda like where it's at now, just a few random people walking around downtown playing a game on their phone. A believable amount of people. We didn't even need a Chamber of Commerce meeting this time to deal with it.
I'm really glad it's back. If you want to play, just come on downtown where lots of pokey balls and gyms are in Lufkin.
