One Sunday afternoon, I drove my children to San Francisco’s Fort Mason to play Pokemon Go.
When we arrived at Fort Mason, the typical San Francisco strong ocean winds had already started. The temperature near the oceanside dropped as well. Still there were many Pokemon Go players walking around the cold and windy Fort Mason to catch their favorite Pokemons.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the famous San Francisco, pure tourists were amazed by the modern phenomenon of Pokemon Go players crowding Fort Mason.
Modern phenomenon – Amazing
The trails of Fort Mason were filled with people holding cell phones and focusing all their attention on their cell phone screens while walking and touching their cell phones frequently. Sometimes, a tourist made fun of those players by suddenly jumping close to a player and shouting: “You are a Pokemon.” The players weren’t disturbed by the surprises, they just continued focusing on their cell phones, catching Pokemon!
The players on the hill of Fort Mason were mostly with friends. Also many players’s cell phones were connected to a charger at all times, which showed that catching Pokemon needs a lot of power.
From the hills to the oceanside, the mass of players were well prepared for the cold weather, dressing up with winter jackets and pants. They walked, played, and rested comfortably in the cold weather near the dark oceanside of San Francisco.
Pokemon Go is really a game suited for all ages.
At Fort Mason, passionate game players who were expressive wore Pickachu and Charmander costumes which attracted a lot of curious attention from those who were unfamiliar with the game.
Fort Mason gathered so many dedicated Pokemon Go players, this phenomenon led me to a well known Chairman Mao quote: “We are all from all corners of the world, and we have come together for a common revolutionary goal.” While watching intoxicated and ingenious Pokemon Go fans, I realized that the life style of modern people has a high amount of entertainment.
Here comes Misty and Ash
Natural Sceneries – Beautiful
Standing on the hill top of Fort Mason, tourists can enjoy the unique and beautiful sight of San Francisco: the red long roof of Fort Mason Art museum, many sailboats near the oceanside behind the museum, small and unique houses densely packed inside the city, the Palace of Fine Arts in the foggy San Francisco, plus the crowd of Pokemon Go Players.
While walking alongside my children, I frequently heard the phrases: “Without Pokemon Go, I wouldn’t notice the beauty of Fort Mason.” My phrase would be: “Without photoing my little players from certain angles, I wouldn’t be able to see the beauty of the Palace of Fine Arts in the fog.”
On one side of Fort Mason’s hill, you can see Alcatraz Island, once home to some of America’s most notorious criminals, such as the Chicago gang leader Al Capone. Today’s Alcatraz Island is a famous scenic spot in San Francisco and also a habitat for various seabirds.
Concentrating Pokemon players bend their heads to learn catching skills, if they looked up they would see the famous Alcatraz Island. Have my little players wondered if there are Pokemons on Alcatraz Island?
Pokemon Go phenomenon is amazing.
Encouraged many people to come to Fort Mason.
Because of this, I like Pokemon Go.
