eBird: The Gamification of Birding?
Growing up in the ’90s you could definitely consider me a part of the “Pokémon Generation.” Throughout my childhood I played games like Sonic, Zelda, Mario, but the one that seemed to have the biggest impact on me and my friends was Pokémon. We spent countless hours battling, training, trading—but most of all collecting Pokémon.
I confess to still being a fan of the series and continue to play the newest games today (while gleefully passing on “adult” shooter and sports games).
What does this have to do with birds?
