Brian Metz has been a fan of Pokemon since age 10. He can even sing the Pokerap! He first played Pokemon Red, and, after putting well over a hundred hours into the game, he played Pokemon Gold. Ever since his first time playing Pokemon, he has wondered what it would be like to catch Pokemon in the real world. On July 6, 2016, he downloaded Pokemon Go and began life as a real life Pokemon trainer. Just like the Pokemon stories, he's met new friends and seen new places while chasing or battling new Pokemon, all without spending a penny.
