Pokemon Go is a terrible game, according to some critics. Others say it has great features and can bring out the best in people. Does Pokemon Go have an aspect of mindfulness? Can it help us live in the moment and move our anxieties to the back burner? Recently, I attended a Gaming Event with my son called ConBravo which was billed as The Celebration Of Everything Geek. It was for gamers, movie, TV and Cosplay enthusiasts and others too.

Dylan Mead was one of those passionate gamers and Cosplayers. In case you didn’t know, Cosplay means dressing up like a character from a game, movie or even as a character you’ve created. Dylan loves Pokemon Go and was even dressed as a Gym Leader from the original world of Pokemon. Today I interview Dylan about the Mindfulness of Pokemon Go. We talk about how the game works, the general concept and challenges and what people like and don’t like about it. When you stop to think about it, a game like Pokemon Go can be a positive mindful experience for people everywhere. Hope you enjoy the show.
