I will travel across the land Searching far and wide

Can't wait for the one free pokestop spin a day and one free Pokémon in a gym a day. Better hope multiple Pokémon don't come home at once, you'll be charged to let them come back and still won't get any extra coins for it. Coins from gym are put into escrow until your watch ten ads.
I missed "Go" and thought they meant Game Freak and I was quite shocked lol
Oh fuck no.
They ruined Stumble Guys, don't let them ruin Pokémon GO
That sounds bad. I like Pokemon Go. What kind of ruining are we talking about?
