Welcome 'Mate'
I don't know if people in Australia still call each other mate, but for some reason a lot of people in this community (non-Aussies) tend to overuse that term even with complete strangers.
I don't have much experience with pokemon go. I downloaded it when it first came out, but I never felt comfortable leaving the house and playing it out in public, so I didn't get more than the couple that I could capture in my immediate area.
Best of luck and keep us posted on what you're working on!
GDay mate! I have recently moved to Melbourne, almost a year now and mateship is a great thing here. So my personal opinion, though I didn't like the concept of pokemon go but I think soon there will be more and more games and other apps coming up with more VR interactions. These days when you ride a tram or train, you see everyone is too much busy with their cellphones and have mostly no idea what is going on around them. Now think about you are walking down the road and everyone around you is busy capturing pokemonsters or something similar with their smartphones, how would you feel?
We are squeezing our life more and more on those 4-6 inch screens while I think we need to be more social and interact with real people which will save the world from a lot of hassle. Nothing serious, just what I think and what I believe.
