Pokeball Pizza FTW

So, who’s been on this Pokemon Go craze lately? Come on, don’t be shy~

Almost all of my friends are in on it and since Philadelphia has high Pokemon activity, there’s a lot of staring-into-phone-screens whenever we go somewhere. Unfortunately, I am not a part of this as my phone is incompatible with the latest Pokemon Go version, which makes me the lone wolf in the group.

Sometimes I feel like my friends are more interested in a Magikarp or a Charmander than they are in me 😦 But, I still love them nonetheless.

So this post goes out to all of my Pokemon-crazed loved ones and YOU!
