All over the world, Pokémon GO can connect trainers. This has now happened in a very special environment – at the most remote place on Earth.
Around the globe, there are fans and trainers of Pokémon GO and the other branches of the series. Even the coldest continent in the world, Antarctica, is no exception.
On independent.co.uk, there is a lovely story about how two trainers, Raimon and Pete, can now play Pokémon GO at the most remote place in the world with the help of one trainer’s girlfriend, Reddit, and Niantic.
And it was only through this that they discovered they both share this hobby.
Pokémon GO at the most remote place in the world
After Raimon started working at Davis Station, the southernmost Australian research station in Antarctica, his girlfriend had a request for him. She wanted to receive gifts in Pokémon GO from him in order to get the postcards.
This prompted the trainer, who has been a fan of the game since its release in 2016, to start playing Pokémon GO again. The problem: There were no PokéStops at his station. So he had no way to send gifts with the corresponding postcards.
Then Raimon’s girlfriend asked on Reddit if Niantic could possibly open a PokéStop at the station. And Niantic granted the request. Inquiries on Reddit regarding the help from trainers in Antarctica surprisingly happen more often than one might think.
Getting a PokéStop, finding game partners
After the PokéStop was opened, Raimon was finally able to start sending gifts with the postcards to his girlfriend and catching Pokémon himself. Alongside a PokéStop in front of one of the buildings, a second PokéStop was also opened inside the residential building.
As he began to catch Pokémon and send postcards, he made an interesting and beautiful discovery: He is not the only one. Pete, one of his 27 colleagues at the station, is also an enthusiastic Pokémon fan and trainer in Pokémon GO.
Since these two trainers, who are separated by more than 30 years of life, discovered this common passion, they now indulge in this hobby together – at the most remote place in the world.
