I *must* go to a pokestop to collect those items in order to keep enjoying the game. Either that, or I have to buy the items.

People of color can also go to more white commercial/downtown areas to enjoy more pokestops. But we're not always safe there.

for what it's worth, you can click on any visable Pokemon to try and capture it. You don't need to move
