It has to be when the game first released. My girlfriend at the time (now wife) and best friend were down the seafront catching pokemon with a bunch of ther people.

I was sat on my friends car bonnet with a beer, as he drove slowly between the stops at eaither end of the seafront to catch Pokemon.

Good times 😂

The summer that Pokemon Go released, my old high school friend group and I would ride around on a golf cart and only play the game. My neighborhood had a gym at the entrance and a PokeStop near my house so by the time we were done riding around, most of the neighborhood would have been ours.

The best memory I have of Pokemon Go is when it came out in 2016. We went out with some friends, only one of whom had a cell phone that ran the game, and we spent the night in the square of our city catching Pokemon with many other strangers in the middle of the night.

There had never been so many people in that place and so late as that day.

A nice memory of a cherished adolescence.

When the game released I was working a service desk job at a local university. I remember fondly me and all my colleagues keeping our phones on and nearby on charge and then we would host a alcohol free drinking game on who spots any good Pokemon. Due to the heavy traffic our shop got made into a gym not long after...was an epic experience.

I remember my best friend and I at the time running around the gardens in Lyme Regis for hours because there were so many stops there and there was never a shortage of Pokémon. The sunburn I got from that day was really bad and my feet and legs were so achey the next day but this was during the peak of Pokémon go’s popularity and it got us out of the house and running around all day and we even set up a little picnic whilst we were there. I remember it still whenever I visit back home and walk through those gardens.

I remember walking through the mall with big groups of people heading to the arenas to fight others or to take down the person holding the top place. I was young , single , and working out of the mall as a store manager for cell phones. Fun times but weird times.

Mine is definitely taking the dogs (2 spaniels) out for 'extra' walks to wear them out, with the ulterior motive of collecting numerous pokemon along the way and checking in to a number of pokestops and gyms to expand my pokemon arsenal! Wish I had a step counter back then to track as it would have been a ridiculous number!

I started playing Pokemon GO 2 days after it first came out. I was a kid at the time, who had to ask my dad to turn on his phone hot spot so I could play on my tablet. I remember being so excited to have found the secret Pikachu you could catch as your first Pokemon if you walked away from the starters 5 times. I had to be so careful not to walk too far away from my house, or else my connection would drop off. it was good times.

For me, it was the moment when I realized, "I'm not playing this alone"; I'm part of a big community of real players."

It was the moment when, in quite a rural place, someone joined a Shadow Raid with me. Shadow Raids mean that the person was near the gym, since you can't use remote passes.

I know it's not that impressive, but it was very impactful for my perception of the game.

My fondest memory of Pokémon go is back from when the game first came out and I would go out with my friends catching Pokémon and going into the local town park area and seeing the amount of other people who were also playing the game at the time there hadn't been anything else really like it before.

For me the fondest memory of playing pokemon go was when there was a community day and they had newly released Wizards Unite. The day basically involved me draining the life out of my battery constantly switching between the 2 apps to try and get as much as I can!! I also remember it being extremely hot that day but the group I was with made the day so memorable for me ❤️
