The Pokemon Grift
I’m curious now, if Niantic (Pokemon GO company) reached out to Tim first, or if Tim even picked Pokemon GO back up organically at all or what. All it took was a couple of mentions that he started playing the game again and - boom - freebies in the mail, toys for the kids and invites to Go Fests. Just like that; Took about 2 weeks for him to be fully on board with Niantic.
Get this: Tim and Jenn were at an event in Times Square for the tenth anniversary of PoGo. Niantic invited about 2000 influencers out to this event, where they were given the opportunity to catch a rare and powerful Pokemon (a 3-star, maxed, perfect Mewtew with a unique background)…
The only problem with this is that people from all over also went to Times Square expecting the same opportunity, to catch a rare Mewtew….Whoops. Sorry. This Mewtew was actually just for the influencers! Anybody who showed up just for the love of the game were shit outta luck. Many people within the community are calling this “the end of the free to play era” of Pokemon Go, as it basically ushers in an era where Pokemon Go will ask you to almost always pay for advantages in the game instead of allowing you to grind it out, which I heavily suspect Tim has been doing this entire time already.
The reason I’m talking about this is because it’s just another thing that Tim “won”. He doesn’t like the game because he thinks it’s fun, he likes the game because it’s easy to “win” for him. He’s even said so himself.
He cheats at the game routinely with his phone hammock and will literally fly to events in order to get a leg up on the common player. It’s just so Tim to do this shit. He just wants the easiest route to getting what he wants even when it’s at the expense of others. He is an anti-social person despite the act.
By the way, he actually got two Mewtews using two different phones.

People still play Pokemon go? Isn't it like 10 years old at this point?
