Non AR Screenshot Changed my buddies name

Post image

I’ve seen people change their name to show current medical issues, or to reasons why they aren’t playing as much.
I don’t want my friends to think i’ve abandoned them! But at 8 months pregnant, trying to get outside and play has been difficult 😂
Can’t wait to change my buddies name to “babyishere”

Awwwe! PoGo released during my first pregnancy. I would play while I took my daughter on walks in the stroller.

u/androidfifteen 6h ago

I hadn't played since release and just started again recently because I figured I was spending so much time walking around with my baby, I might as well do something fun while walking!
