200 Ways to Win At Pokemon Go Using Ideas In Movies and Literature
Dear Pokemon Go Players Who Want to Win The Game:
Before I write the 200 life-changing (at least to me) tips on how to win in every Pokemon Go Battle you join and also on how to win every battle at life, here's a Public Service Announcement first, although this is me just "teaching birds how to fly".
Before we allow our inner child/children to play #PokemonGo , I wish we're all reminded of the Iatrogenics of it all, where we're blinded by the present pleasure benefits and forget the unseen, lethal cost that shows up way too late. So click HERE to read on how Pokemon Go killed a man in San Francisco.You might consider some tips here seemingly quite unrelated with Pokemon Go, but we have evidence that connecting unrelated things is how winners like Steve Jobs win.
If you're asking Why and How these tips can help you win battles and you're asking what these ideas on movies have to do with Pokemon, send me an email thru The Contact Me at the left side of the website. Let's talk.
Anyway, why 200? I chose this number because I was inspired by the fact that Visayas where my town of Cebu City is located has already more than 200 branches of 7 Eleven today, and that means Cebu City is richer and the richer it is, the more Pokemon Go Battles and life-changing movies will come out in Cebu.
But more garbage and more traffic in our beloved Cebu, too, and so that's why we should always try to help to contribute to the solution, even if we don't know why. How can you help?
Anyway, here's the 200 tips and tricks in winning at Pokemon Go.
1. Go to any 7 Eleven in Cebu City, and bring your friends. Discuss with your Pokemon Go players inside a 7 Eleven Store, and share all the tricks and tips that you gathered when you were in Pokemon Gyms in Mactan Newtown and SM Malls. Harness the power of your friends.
Then drink Yakult in 7-Eleven because it's cheap and it's filled with Good Bacteria that can protect you when you go around in the streets playing Pokemon Go. Speaking of Yakult, here's a Fun Silly Video of Yakult Mascot Dancing at 7 Eleven:
2. Click HERE for strengthening your Mental Health first before playing Pokemon Go and win. A weak mental health will make you lose during a Pokemon Battle, especially if you're playing a battle in SM Seaside City or Robinsons Galleria Cebu because these malls are mired with competition.
