its more fun cathcing the pokemons yourself, going to the stops to get balls and winning gym battles compared to using bots or other cheats. pokemons show up in our house every hour but i get more rare monsters in other places. i like collecting, im not into gym battles. businesses boom when they have pokestops nearby their establishments and its fun trying new food places because of the pokestop--gives us an excuse to stay and eat while replenishing our balls
