Would you rather have an app to track Pokémon sightings IRL or one that lets you virtually “raise” a buddy Pokémon?

So here’s the deal: Option A gives you real-world Pokétracking radar. Option B gives you your very own digital Togepi to take care of. Which would you rather have and why?

    Option A because it also implies that it grants Pokemon in the real world so obviously A.

    i don't trust machine learning with A

    And Tomagachi was already done to the grave for B

    Option A. It sounds interesting.

    Option A rises too many questions. But since having to choose from only Togepi sounds pretty boring, I definitely vote for an A.

    I am still curious, though, whether it word work more like converting animals into pokémon that are based on them, or rather like: in this kind of habitat, in this part of the world, this pokémon would live.

    i'm going to go in a different direction and assume this is asking about the pokemon world in-universe. and honestly i would rather play the video games even if pokemon were real because caring for real pets is a big responsibility and potentially dangerous.

    Definitely Option A.
