POKEMON: OUT OF THE BOX PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Sample by My Essay Writer

OUT OF THE BOX PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Assignment 1 
Introduction
The wildly popular mobile phone application, Pokemon Go, has been lauded beneficial to a person’s health since it encourages them to walk and explore their physical surroundings thereby increasing their overall level of cardiovascular health. In fact, various government and non-government organizations have started using the app as a method of encouraging people to exercise. This was seen in a recently concluded Pokemon Go event in Singapore where people had to walk around a particular region and take screen shots of only a select number of Pokemon that were given to them on a list. Taking this method into consideration, this report will create several unusual, yet fun, Pokemon Go based activities that are meant to help people reach their fitness goals. [“Write my essay for me?” Get help here.]

1. Name of Activity: Screenshot Pokemon Scavenger Hunt
Costs: None
When and where: Weekends at the Local Park
Contact Person: (Insert your name here)
Listing Location: Website with spawn locations
A Pokemon Scavenger hunt consists of the participants using their Pokemon Go app and the screen capture feature on their phone to take photos of a particular type of Pokemon in a given area. For example, if the activity is held at the local park, the participants would need to take screenshots of several types of grass and water Pokemon. They would need to walk continuously around the park and hopefully encounter the right kind of randomly spawned Pokemon and take a screenshot of it. There would be a time limit to the activity and, as a result, this would encourage those participating in the event to walk faster or go longer distances so that they can find the type of Pokemon they need to complete the list. The reason this activity would be an effective method of increasing a person’s desire for physical activity is due to how they perceive it. They will not think that it is exercise; rather, they will focus on its hunting aspect. [Need an essay writing service? Find help here.]

2. Name of Activity: Catch Them All! Pokemon Capture Hunt
Costs: None
When and where: Weekends in the Local Town
Contact Person: (Insert your name here)
Listing Location: Website with spawn locations
The goal of this activity is to catch as many unique types of Pokemon as you can within a given day. This differs from the scavenger hunt since there is no set list that participants have to adhere to; instead, it focuses on getting as many different types of Pokemon into poke balls as possible. To accomplish this kind of activity, participants would need to explore the entire town and not just one single area. Since only particular types of Pokemon spawn in specific areas (ex: grass type Pokemon spawning in parks and forests), players would need to go to areas with lots of buildings, go near the local hospital, and even explore the park to get as many diverse types of Pokemon as possible. It is the thrill of the hunt that will sustain players in this activity.

3. Name of Activity: The Graveyard Ghoul Hunt
Costs: None
When and where: At Night at the Local Graveyard
Contact Person: (Insert your name here)
Listing Location: Website with spawn locations
While this may seem to be an unusual activity, it is quite fun when done as a group of people. The event administrators would initially need to get the permission of the administrators of the graveyard to conduct the event. Once this is obtained, all people that will be participating in it will be required to form groups of three to four individuals for their safety. They will all be expected to bring flashlights to avoiding bumping into gravestones. The goal of the activity is to find as many ghost Pokemon as you can within a set time limit.

4. Name of Activity: The Ground Pound Pokehunt!
Costs: None
When and where: Weekend at the local hiking trail
Contact Person: (Insert your name here)
Listing Location: Website with spawn locations
This is an activity that combines both hiking and Pokemon hunting where the event organizers will set up a hiking expedition using the local hiking trail. The goal of the exercise is to capture as many unique types of ground type Pokemon as possible (since land types regularly appear in these locations). The entire expedition is expected to stick together for safety, but they will all be expected to capture Pokemon on their own.

5. Name of Activity: The Fairy Friday Hunt!
Costs: None
When and where: Fridays at a Local Landmark
Contact Person: (Insert your name here)
Listing Location: Website with spawn locations
Since fairy type Pokemon only spawn at local landmarks, arranging for a group of individuals to go there on Friday and start a fairy type hunt would be relatively easy. The goal of the activity would be to find as many unique fairy types as possible and capture them. The one with the most captures of unique fairy types wins the event. < Click Essay Writer to order your essay >

6. Name of Activity: Bring Your Pokemon to Work Day!
Costs: None
When and where: Lunch breaks at the place where a person works
Contact Person: (Insert your name here)
Listing Location: Website with spawn locations
While it may seem strange, encouraging people to capture Pokemon during their lunch breaks is an excellent way to help boost the amount of physical activity they engage in. Since toxic type Pokemon regularly appear in offices, having event participants go around their work building and discretely capture Pokemon would help them to increase the amount of physical activity they accomplish in a single day. The results of each hunt will be based on screen shots that will be sent to the event administrator for verification.
