I'm going to piggyback off your comment but the Pokemon Go RVA group is a fantastic little community. They have meetups every month or so to gather and do trades, raids, and explore together. Such a fun, kind, and helpful group of people. (Here's the link to join, if anyone is interested: https://discord.com/invite/7WZAdrp )

If you're wanting to get back into Pokemon Go, this is an awesome time to do it. They're continuing to add new features and literally always have events going on. The game is (thankfully) far from dead!
