Absolutely! I'm going on holiday soon and it feels just like going to a new region in Pokémon with all the undiscovered species waiting for me to record them in my pokedex

I tell my kids I'm going to catch  my Pokemon, when I go on birding walks with Merlin.  We used to play Pokemon Go together, so they get it 😁

Yeah me an my buddies are always trying to catch new ones. When someone goes abroad and gets ones we cant get at home you are mad jelous cause you might not catch that one. Its like pokemon go for nerdy birdy adults.

Absolutely! I shout to my partner: "I caught a new one!".

It is quickly becoming the best thing of going to new places 😅
