Your IRL Pokemon Go Hang-out!

[Ho-Oh]

Okay so we all have our FAVOURITE place to chill and play the game. Where's that place for you? :) Does it boast lots of Pokestops? Is it near shops - is there a favourite food you have to have to get you in the mood for hunting? Tell us all about your special #1 Pokemon Go hangout!

For me it's this massive (not SO massive) peninsula. The jetty itself always ALWAYS is lit up. Well, not always but you're gonna be hard pressed going there one night and for it to not get lit up. Whenever we go there - if during the day we've got to have Subway, if during the night - Fish and Chips (best in the world). The cool thing about is is the stops are spread out in a way that you can make a real route out of it.

Because it's a jetty the speed limit is 30, meaning that you can drive slowly and be a second person + get tons of stops. They have toilets, free water, shops right nearby, lots of restaurants, lots of parking, a bus stop... and a massive Magikarp/Magnemite biome lmao.

It's just such a great place to play the game because once you're done with the jetty you can go to pretty much any raid nearby and you know you'll have a group of 15 there within 10 minutes. Never mind the fact that it is a Larvitar biome, occasionally Chansey, definitely Mareep, Machop... pretty much everything you WANT to get in the game is yup, pretty much exclusively always going to be there!

What about you guys? What's your number #1 area?!

There's a nice little park right outside the office I work in, with super nice spawns and nests, such as starters and Dratini. It has a nice and huge fountain, it's pretty relaxing even if there's always one or two crazy junkies. They're harmless but weird, but whatever. We can sit in front of the fountain because there's some kind of stairs surrounding it. There is 5 Pok?stops and people put Lures on them quite often.

Same as Soapy, even though crackheads and hobos often populate the area. Like she said, they're mostly harmless. It's a lot better than it used to be ~5 years ago lol.
There's also another park we found a couple weeks ago, with like 4-5 pok?stops and a gym. Lots of grass, picnic tables, basketball courts... Pretty cool place!

Houston has the best hot spots for Pokemon GO.

First we have Discovery Green, located in the middle of Downtown next to the Convention Center. It was a gold mine until park officials began to complain about how players were trashing the park and threatened to take down the gyms and Pokestops. Not sure if they're still moving forward with the takedown, but it sure scared GO players off the park. Sucks, though.

Then there's Hermann Park. It became the main place for GO hangouts when Discovery Green lost its popularity. It's the park where the first massive GO hangout took place, and I was there! It was an event that changed my life. There was another one just last month in celebration of the first anniversary.

Lastly, we got the Texas City Dike, which is just a few miles from Galveston Island. This area was popular for finding rare Pokemon, mainly water types like Lapras or Kabutops. Most GO players go at night for better chances.
