I was chatting to my brother Raymond Ho about Pokemon Go over dinner. So I decided to pause the conversation, finish dinner and record our conversation as a podcast. We recorded a 30 min in-depth chat about how the game has evolved after 1 week. It is crazy how popular it has become and its only officially available in 3 countries. We discuss the battle for gyms in the city, the rise of the Pokemon posse, lures and how businesses are using it to attract customers. Also chat about Pokemon Go game strategy and the history of Pokemon. The final episode of This Mobile Life for Season 1! #char SHOW NOTES 1.
