Do you have a Sylvan success story? If so, we would love to hear it!

Here's a question: "How many more Jigglypuffs must you catch before you can evolve one into a Wigglytuff?" If this question made sense to you, then you probably know someone who is playing Pokémon Go!

The craze over Pokémon Go has swept through the world... even some of our instructors are aspiring Pokémon trainers! There is a surprising amount of math involved in the game ("How many more Pokémon must I catch to reach the next level?" "How many potions will it take to restore my Pokémon to full health?"). The game also encourages players to go out and explore their neighborhoods in order to advance in the game. Trying to find the Snorlax on your block may lead you to an area of your community you've never explored before!

Do you have any interesting Pokémon Go stories? We'd love to hear them!

Pokémon Go is perfect for your next family game night. Here are some tips to get you started!
