While Pokémon Go has already helped many to meet new people and form new friendships, now the game is being used to foster love connections in the form of a new app called PokéDates. For those who are looking for a mate that shares their Pokémon obsession, this dating app may be the perfect resource.
The PokéDates app is a platform launched by the dating service Project Fix Up. The service works by asking users to fill out information about themselves and their dating life as well as a simple questionnaire. The app will then find another Pokémon trainer who is a compatible match. The two can then arrange a romantic date at their favorite PokéStop.
While not all the matches may lead to love, the app is sure to help Pokémon Go users find others who share their love of the increasingly popular mobile game.
