In what is surely the first instance of all of our modern media becoming homogenised with Pokemon, a new Pokemon Go dating app has come to the fore.Just when you thought you seen it all from this worldwide phenomenon, you can now fall in love over your combined hatred for Magikarp.
PokeDates, which moved impressively fast to jump on the bandwagon, is a new dating app that wants to team you up with like-minded trainers based on your personal preferences and whether you prefer Alakazam or Hypno (Alakazam, obviously). Once the match has been made and you’ve both decided to catch some Pokemon together, you can do so at a Gym or PokeStop, which is actually pretty cute.
According to the website:
PokeDates is powered by Project Fixup, a fun and convenient way to meet someone new (whether or not you play Pokemon GO!)
At Project Fixup, we believe that dating should be about getting out there, meeting new people, and enjoying the world around… not sitting on your computer browsing, swiping, and messaging back and forth. Project Fixup is about OFFline dating, and saving you the hours of time you would spend online to end up with the same date. Project Fixup is for anyone that is single and up for getting fixed up! We cater to all ages, races, and gender identities.
Sounds neat, right? Well, there’s obviously a catch, this business isn’t helping you meet your love out of the kindness of your heart. The first match is free but every subsequent one is twenty dollars, so even if you are on Mystic and they are on Instinct, you might just have to compromise to save some cash.
Hell, maybe you can team up to find Mew? Or read some Pokemon erotica together? That second one might be a bit too forward.
