Life
It's almost time for Halloween, but that hasn't taken the attention off of the craze known as Pokémon Go. If you're a fan of the game or of the show that spawned the game, then you know how serious it gets when it comes to getting the perfect costume to reflect your favorite Pokémon. Since it's such an intricate part of just about every '90s kids life getting good Pokémon Go costumes to buy or DIY for this Halloween would be perfect.
If you've played the game, you know that it places a magnifying glass on your childhood by enabling you to catch Pokémon in real time. Though the game came out this past summer, it's still been very popular amongst crowds. Since you're able to create your own trainer, this Halloween will be even more fun because you won't have to go as the typical Ash, Misty, and Brock combination with your friends. You can choose to be apart of Team Valor, Mystic, or Instinct, or just simply choose to go as your favorite Pokémon out of the ones you've caught.
Whatever you choose to do, having the option to purchase or make your costume yourself is perfect for catering your costume to your specific needs. If you need a little inspiration, these nine ideas can help.
