DMCI condo properties have always been designed to complement people\u2019s lifestyles. The high-rise condos use Lumiventt technology to harness sunlight andwind, thus harmonizing nature with urban living.\u00a0They have event venues to accommodate any social gathering. And they have fitness gyms, pools, and other spaces that where people can engage in a whole range of healthy activities. But there\u2019s a new trend afoot \u2013 a new game, to be exact.
\nDon\u2019t pretend you don\u2019t know about it. We know you do. (And don\u2019t be embarrassed, because we play it too. We\u2019re all friends here.)<\/span>
\nYes, Pokemon Go has taken the Philippines by storm. Commuters everywhere play the game as they wait in hours-long lines and standstills. Shops that are near <\/span>Pokestops<\/span> or <\/span>Pokegyms<\/span> have seen increased customer traffic. The story\u2019s pretty much the same for condos: All DMCI developments have amenities that make them attractive, but finding Pokegyms and <\/span>Pokestops near <\/span>DMCI properties<\/span><\/a> makes them much more desirable. With that said, here\u2019s a quick guide for Pokemon hunters who want to know about the catching, hatching, and battling opportunities that can be found in DMCI residences.<\/span><\/p>\n

But First: An Obligatory Poke-primer<\/h4>\n

The whole object of Pokemon Go is to collect weird, adorable, and weirdly adorable creatures called Pokemon, and to make them stronger so they can win in battles.
\nYou can collect Pokemon either by hatching them from eggs or catching them. Hatching Pokemon from eggs takes a lot of work (we\u2019ll talk more about that later). Catching them takes work too, but also a lot of luck; you get better odds by going to Pokestops where you can use lures.<\/span>
\nYou can power up the Pokemon you catch or hatch and get them to fight other Pokemon (because it\u2019s fun!). These battles are fought at Pokemon gyms (or Pokegyms) \u2013 areas that different teams compete over and try to capture. Yeah, that\u2019s right: you get to join one of three teams in Pokemon Go, and you represent your team in each Pokemon battle you take part in. The more gyms you capture, the more prestige your team gets, and the more points you get. Pokemon Go\u2019s a really fun game, and aside from the above, there are plenty of <\/span>reasons why it\u2019s so addictive<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\nYou should have realized by now that there are two types of locations that are important for the game: Pokestops and Pokegyms. So as a DMCI tenant-slash-Pokemon Go player, your next thought should be \u201cI have to know <\/span>where to find pokemon in my condo\u201d<\/span>. You can check online maps to find Pokegyms and <\/span>Pokestops near your condo<\/span>\u2026 or you can read on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Taguig Properties: A Decent Distribution of Pokestops<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019ve got the patience to cross-reference a list of finished DMCI properties against an online <\/span>map<\/span> of reported Pokestops around the world (because that\u2019s totally how everyone spends their free time \u2013 that\u2019s sarcasm, btw), you\u2019ll realize a few things. For example, five out of seven finished DMCI developments in Quezon City don\u2019t have or aren\u2019t near Pokestops.<\/span>
\nOn the other hand, the ones in Taguig have a better record. In <\/span>Royal Palm Residences<\/span>, the Royal Palm Gazebo Ball Fountain is a Pokestop. <\/span>Rosewood Point<\/span> has two: the Rosewood Pointe<\/a> East Fountains and the Rosewood Gazebo. <\/span>Mahogany Place<\/span> has one, named \u201cMahogany Place 2\u201d. And the water tank in <\/span>Cedar Crest<\/span> is a Pokestop too. So basically, if you\u2019re living in a DMCI condo for rent in Taguig<\/a>, chances are good that there\u2019s a Pokestop in your community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tivoli Garden Residences: A 3-in-1 Destination<\/h4>\n

Tivoli Garden Residences<\/span><\/a> is a relatively hidden but still ideally located condo community. Sure, it\u2019s not that close to EDSA, but it\u2019s a reasonably short drive from there to malls such as Rockwell and Glorietta, as well as several fine academic institutions in Makati. The development prides itself as a retreat for serenely green <\/span>condo living<\/span><\/a> in the middle of the busy metropolis.<\/span>
\nTurns out, it\u2019s a good haven for Pokemon hunters too. Residents should be able to find three Pokestops: Tivoli Clubhouse Wood Art, Tivoli Tower 3 Wall Art, and Tivoli Iris Wall Art. Looking for gym supremacy? Head to the Tivoli Pool Park, which you should find is a Pokegym to fight for and defend.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Redwoods: Promising Proximity to Prime Spots<\/b><\/h4>\n

The Redwoods<\/span><\/a> might not seem like the best choice to play Pokemon Go. After all, the place has only one pokestop, the Redwoods Water Tower \u2013 it\u2019s okay, but nothing to start a party about. And being in Fairview, it\u2019s pretty far for most Pokemon Go players to visit. However, it\u2019s also within walking distance from two competing malls: Ayala Fairview Terraces and SM Fairview. Any seasoned player will know why that\u2019s a big deal.<\/span>
\nWhen you set a lure at a Pokestop, it increases the chances of Pokemon spawning at that specific point for around 30 minutes. Waiting in one place for half an hour can be a hassle, so public places where you can rest, eat, or otherwise just chill are a great option. Malls usually have shops, restaurants, and benches close to Pokestops. For this reason, people tend to deploy their lures in mall Pokestops \u2013 which other enterprising players like you can take advantage of too. So if you live in The Redwoods, you can actually play the \u201cI\u2019m playing Pokemon Go in a mall\u201d waiting game at your leisure. Yay!<\/span><\/p>\n

Riverfront Residences: A Winning Location<\/h4>\n

Want to know which DMCI Property has hit the jackpot in terms of Pokestops and Pokegyms? It has to be <\/span>Riverfront Residences<\/span><\/a> in Pasig.<\/span>
\nSee if your brain can process this without exploding: based on <\/span>our online map source<\/span><\/a>, there are SIX POKESTOPS within the development itself, and 1 Pokegym thrown in for good measure. Just for fun, we won\u2019t name them here, so people can check out the map themselves (or spend a weekend afternoon exploring the development).<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow Your Instinct: Ideal DMCI Properties for Hatching<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re more of a \u201cgotta hatch them all\u201d kind of player (shoutout to Team Instinct!), you want to fill your Pokedex by incubating Pokemon eggs. The incubation method of Pokemon collection requires three ingredients: a pokemon egg, an incubator, and a whole lot of walking. Depending on the type of egg you want to hatch, you\u2019ll have to walk 2, 5, or 10 kilometers to find out what kind of Pokemon is inside. The longer the distance required to hatch the egg, the bigger the chance that it contains a rare Pokemon, so it\u2019s no surprise why Pokemon Go has been making <\/span>millennials<\/span> more active.<\/span>
\nA lot of DMCI developments are furnished with jogging paths or bike paths for residents who live an active health lifestyle. There\u2019s <\/span>Magnolia Place<\/span><\/a> in Quezon City; <\/span>Rhapsody Residences<\/span> in Muntinlupa; and <\/span>Brixton Place<\/span> in Pasig, to name a few. So even if your DMCI condo community doesn\u2019t have its own Pokestop or Pokegym, there\u2019s still a chance for you to progress in the game (and burn calories while you\u2019re at it).<\/span>
\nWhether they enjoy hatching Pokemon eggs, evolving Pokemon, or conquering <\/span>Pokemon gyms<\/span>, DMCI tenants will likely stay nuts about this game for a long time. It\u2019s an exciting activity that gets people to wander the city for imaginary creatures \u2013 who knew that could be so much fun? Of course, the game is always changing, and new reports of Pokemon sightings and new Pokestops are constantly coming in. If you don\u2019t want to be left out, start now and join thousands of others in exploring and mapping your world as a Pokemon trainer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
