Date someone who will let you look through their Pokédex, and will tell you exactly where they found their rare Pokémon, and then will take you there to catch them.

Date someone who won’t get annoyed by all of the catch phrases you’re trying to bring back from Brock, Misty, Ash, and Team Rocket.

Date someone who doesn’t get pissed when you play Pokémon Go at inappropriate times, like when you’re meant to be having a romantic picnic at the park.
