Yeah. I just spent 4 hours outside, with water bottles and shit. I was really excited and I actually had a blast when I didn't find a common pokemon for the millionth time.
But when I got home after being tired, sweaty, and not much reward for my efforts I started to think about if what I did was a waste of time. Sure I went outside but REALLY how much did I actually spend not looking at my phone and trying to get in touch with nature?
In the end you catch the same pokemon, so there's no real connection to what you run into, you grind to level up and evolve, and sometimes it just feels cheep when you walk around aimlessly just to have the rare nearby pokemon vanish from the nearby list.
I want to try again but I'm afraid I'm wasting my time. Which is a shame because it was something that made me go outside and distract me from working out and it has a lot of potential.
