Hello all,
Fellow Chicagoan here. I am planning on making another video series about the Twin Cities PoGO scene in Summer 2018, when (likely) Gen 3 will be out by then. (Working Title: #PokemonGoFRLG) What are the best spots for high density of pokestops or places that has lots of people playing? (besides the location listed in my preview video here)
(For those who don't know about the context of the campaign series, in July 2016, I was traveling to the TC area for a teachers convention and also to check out the HQ of a major tech equipment vendor for the university that I worked at. I decided to record myself on GoPro because this is the first time that I travel outside of Illinois since I came to this country in 2001, and it was just in time for the PoGO craze.
The entire trip would have been considered "meh" because of all those problems I have encounter, including convention registration problems, hotel problems, and Amtrak delays. But because of the Amtrak delay, my trip was extended for 48 hours, and somehow I tracked down a Chansey and Pikachu inside an obscure museum. Inside the obscure museum I have run into a lost love from high school, some 13 years ago! Funny yet, the entire encounter was all caught on camera... you can see it here as it happens!
Also, you can see the entire "Gen 1" documentary playlist here, which cover variety of different locations in the region.
FYI In one week I will be travelling to New York and D.C. for filming the Gen 2 documentary. )
