Hi, Guys, it’s me, Cheeky Monkey HD.Com, and I’m just chillaxing on a beautiful Monday summer evening.

Or, I was chillaxing, until this: #showmeyournotes

It’s what I’m calling a “Twitter Hashtag”, which is a thing on Twitter.  The idea was that you look in your notes app (application) on your mobile device and share what you’ve been writing in there.  This is what I shared:

I’m somewhat preoccupied… #PokemonGO #showmeyournotes pic.twitter.com/re3NlRSCHU

Regular readers will know that I’ve been troubled by the “Pokemonundrum” for quite a few days now, and, as the note shows, I’m no closer to a resolution.  But joining in with this “fun” hashtag really brought home a few home truths for me.

As a millennial, I’ve never played Pokemon before, and, as such, I shouldn’t really miss what I’ve never had.  That said, I LOVE mobile gaming and the thought of Joseph(ine) Public jumping on board a bandwagon without me is literally tearing me asunder.

Something has to be done.

I’ve decided that, for now, I’m not going to play Pokemon Go.  Instead, I’m going to write a series of stories about what it would be like if I were playing Pokemon Go, only having never played Pokemon, let alone Pokemon Go, I’m going to have to make up some aspects based on tidbits I’ve gleaned from everyday life.  I can assure you that this isn’t going to be easy, but I ask for your help and guidance at this difficult time.
