This article is still yet to be completed due to stress. We get a lot of stressful torture in our lives that makes us crash into slumber. Given that inspiration is a big variable, and we may have been lacking of it, this article will be completed as soon as possible, at our own pace... HONEST!

- For the original creation by Nintendo/The Pokemon Company, see Pokémon.
History
Pokémon Go is a 2016 augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic in collaboration with The Pokémon Company for iOS and Android devices. The game consists of players physically travelling around to find and catch pokemon that randomly pop up on the map.
On release, the game became a massive hit, attracting players like Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg.[1] Although the craze has slowly fizzled out, it maintains a significant fanbase by devoted fans of Pokémon, such as Chris.
Chris and the game
| “ | Once we got to the restaurant, [Chris] pulled out a duct tape wallet to be able to play Pokémon go on two phones at once, like any sane person. | ” |
| extract from Noah's ex-girlfriend's describing of a lunch with Chris | ||
As with every single new item to exist on this planet, Chris was quick to pick up the game as one of his hobbies, later stating it as proof of the Dimensional Merge. As what the game was originally marketed to do, Chris would go out and catch virtual Pokémon as any Pokémon trainer would. Chris would later photograph his Pokémon collection at his home, providing a partial tour of his residence in the process.
Chris has been shown to be very addicted, many years after the game lost steam. At BronyCon 2019, people travelling with Chris quoted that he would be "hatching eggs on Pokemon Go.. while at stoplights." This shows that not only is Chris hooked on the game, but also willing to put the lives of others at risk while doing so.
Observations
With the images provided of Chris's Pokémon collection, one could easily observe the current condition of his home with it. And no, it's not good. The majority of the said photos reveal Chris's derelict, abandoned back and front-yard.
- As seen in one of the Celebi photos (refer to gallery below), Bob's greenhouse is overfilled with piles of Chris and Barb's hoard.
- The portrait of Mewtwo reveals damaged/worn-out paint on the Chandler residence, likely the aftermath of the egging incident, showing the neglect which Chris and Barb have shown to their home.
- The gazebo has clearly been abandoned. Its timber is shown to be deteriorating, and the structure itself is surrounded by debris resembling wood tinder.
Microtransactions
Being a mobile game in 2020, the game runs on revenue from microtransactions and special event ticket fees. Chris has spent 14.99$ on ticket fees for the PokemonGOfest2020 event for a 2 day event on July 25 and 26.[2] How much more of the tugboat is wasted on this is unknown.
Relationship with the merge
- Main articles: Chris and reality and Dimensional Merge
| “ | Personally, I wish Everyone of this world, in addition to those who have already have, could Feel and fully Witness the effects of the Dimension Merge Happening, as I have. Fortunately, we do have bunches of confirmed sightings of bunches of the OCs, including Inuyasha, himself | ” |
| Chris, on the 15th of April 2019, expressing how Pokemon GO would be available after the merge | ||
Chris appears to use Pokémon Go as a form of coping mechanism: the augmented reality nature of the game allows virtual Pokemon to exist within the same frame as a real-life location (i.e 14 BC), re-enforcing his belief in the Dimensional Merge.
PokéStop attempts
Chris has tried to get his house accepted as a PokéStop in the game, despite residences not being allowed for consideration.
In April 2019, he recorded Sonichu Headquarters Google Intro Video to promote the idea.
In August 2020, he reached Level 40 in Pokémon Go, allowing him to nominate a location, choosing his house (calling it a temple at this point). However, his application was rejected.
What now?
As of 2020, Chris still actively plays Pokémon Go. Chris has tweeted his Pokemon as part of the 2020 Go-fest, while continuing to roleplay as Sonichu.
