  13. I must say, there was a time when Pokemon Go became boring to me. But recently I joined a group that regularly goes on raids every week and now I love the game again! It’s a shame it took them so damn long to actually get fun things going in the game, because they lost a lot of people due to lack of content (and they STILL need trading and battling). But I definitely would recommend joining a facebook group around your area if you can, because it’s really fun going on raids with people! There are a bunch of older people in mine too, it’s funny that they all play xD
