While last year we all screamed in delight when we discovered that they were sending us on an epic journey tocapture as many Pokemon as possible, this year I just dumb foundedly shouted out, “GO TO GOOGLE MAPS” when I discovered this year’s treat.

So of course, like any good employee, I traveled the world and found my favorite places to play!
