Haha funny story about the dog. When this game came out, I remember trying it a bit but my old android could barely move it. Motivated by everything I saw on the internet, I was encouraged one day in the afternoon to go for a little walk looking for something, although I didn't have much luck. It marked me that there was a Pokemon in an area a bit dangerous so to speak, so in the end I went back home 😅.
Then I ended up abandoning it because it worked very badly on my phone.
This happened to me once. There seemed to be a very powerful Pokemon in the middle of the sea, but how could I get there? I can't play this game while swimming lol.
Bad phones have happened to all of us at one time or another XD
