By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Let’s just get this out of the way: I didn’t walk into Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye expecting a good story.

[Reflection] The Pokéwalker Is Way Better Than Pokémon GO

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting In the realm of Pokémon gaming, there has been a shift in how we interact with these beloved creatures. Pokémon GO took the world by storm a few years ago, however, amidst the frenzy of augmented reality and exploration, there’s a quiet contender that holds a special place in the hearts of semi-older trainers like me: the Pokéwalker.
