10 real thoughts a non-Pokémon Go person feels that Pokémon Go players won’t understand

Two days ago, during a gathering, the conversation that all my friends had was this: Pokémon Go. Throughout the day, they were discussing about the Pokemons they’ve caught, the Pokestops near their home or office and even cheats to play the game without having to physically roam the street.

As a non-Pokémon Go player, I was sort of kept out of their conversation and felt almost like an outcast—and truth to be told, their conversation sounded interesting but just so alien. Am I the only one who hasn’t jumped on the bandwagon?

In any case, if you’ve friends who, just like me, have not downloaded the game, here’re the ten real thoughts they should really feel.

And no, even after that, I’ve not downloaded Pokémon Go.

“It’s just a game—why so serious?”
When my friend showed me an image of all his colleagues standing at the window, picking some Pokeballs at the Pokestop next to their office, I was like, Why so serious? They’ve even taken the risk to be reprimanded by their boss for playing Pokémon Go during office hours…but later, I realized their boss is also a Pokémon Go player. SMH.

“How fun can it be catching virtual creatures?”
Seriously. It’ll be more fun if they’re catching real money. But creatures that stay in their phone that can’t do anything? You mad, Bro?

“People actually sacrifice sleep time for this?”
I’ll rather spend three hours roaming a street I’ve created in my dreams than to physically go out to catch ‘em all. #justsaying

“Singaporeans suddenly are immune against the hot weather and mosquitoes?”
Seeing crowds of people lingering around a playground makes me wonder just one thing: They can tahan the sun and the mosquitoes? Just for Pokeballs?

“When is the trend dying?”
Let it die soon, so that my friends won’t be zombies anymore.

“How can a person be so obsessed with a game?”
I’ve got friends who have never downloaded a single mobile game in his life, and his first is Pokémon Go. And he’s obsessed with it.

“Am I the only person in the whole of Singapore who isn’t playing Pokémon Go?”
You’re not, trust me.

“Isn’t Pokémon a game for kids?”
I think now, it isn’t.

“How come everywhere is Pokestop?”
I believe only a non-Pokémon Go player will have this thought. But seriously, where’s an area without a Pokestop?

“When is my Facebook newsfeed going to be normal again?”
Because when I log in to Facebook, I wonder whether I’ve accidentally downloaded Pokémon Go.

“Should I download Pokémon Go…and not let others know?”
Come on, admit it: you have this thought. And you don’t want others to know because you’ve been such an anti-Pokémon Go guy in front of your friends.
