I loved being able to drink and hunt Pok\u00e9mon at the same time, which we&#8217;ve never been able to do before. I also love that I didn&#8217;t have to man two phones because usually I&#8217;m having to manage both of our phones while Brian drives us around. I&#8217;m sure Brian enjoyed not having to drive so he could play as well. <\/p>\n<p>The best part was that the Pok\u00e9mon GO creators hosted a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pokemon.com\/us\/pokemon-news\/halloween-treats-in-pokemon-go\/\"  target=\"_blank\">special in-game Halloween event<\/a> whereby we caught lots of special Pok\u00e9mons and got double candy for transferring mons to the professor. The timing of our Pok\u00e9mon party bus event couldn&#8217;t have been better. <\/p>\n<p>I had an amazing time and hope that everyone did too.
