His phone hadn’t made an error the night before: Sheridan’s home really was a gym. But they were all looking at him-“looking at the church, through their phones.” Some were leaning on his fence, others milled on the sidewalk.
“Have you ever seen people standing near each other, but it’s clear they’re not with each other? That was exactly what was happening,” he says. And then he saw them: A handful of strangers, all standing on the sidewalk in front of his home. While gulping down glassfuls of iced coffee, he stared out the big window to the park across the street. The next morning, he woke up and shuffled to his kitchen. Sheridan lives in an old renovated church, built during the 19th century. “And I thought, that can’t be right,” Sheridan told me. Yet getting home in the wee Saturday hours, he remembered to check into the game and noticed that there seemed to be a gym right over his house. Being of sound heart and mind, he quickly caught a Squirtle. Sheridan is a designer living in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
Players can also assemble near certain structures, like churches and pieces of public art, to battle their Pokémon against computer players at “gyms.” Pokémon Go forces players to wander through the physical world around them-streets, parks, and public spaces-to catch Pokémon.
