You should have taken advantage of the time when Pokemon GO got released around July of 2016, OP. Even if you weren't into that shitty mobile app. That's what I did.
>normie coworkers playing Pokemon GO
>one night, got invited to a group dinner with said coworkers
>some of them brought some friends along
>saw a coworkers friend and she seems to be not into this mobile game hype
>ask her why she isnt into it like every other cool kid in town
>"idunno, i just dont feel like it. plus this game only features the first batch, right? that means this game isnt complete?"
>she did admit that she likes Pikachu because thats the only one she can name
>asks me if i know the newer Pokemon
>"umm.. yeah. i still kind of follow the games"
>"oh thats cool anon. I once saw a cute little blue penguin one when I passed by some shop that sells plushes. Do you know the name of that?"
>"Piplup?"
>"pip-what?"
>google a pic of Piplup and showed it to her
>"Oh yeah, that's the one. I like that too!"
>she says she likes it because her favorite color is blue and she likes penguins
>asked her number and we hit it off
>talk almost everyday
>gave her a Piplup plush on her birthday, etc etc
the rest is history anon.
she's not that much into Pokemon but she's very tolerant of my hobbies, as i am to hers.
we've been in a relationship for almost 2 years now.
you can do it anons. we're all gonna make it.
