Yep. That's right. Playing "Pokmon GO" at Comic-Con may be better than playing in New York City.That's saying something because if you live in or around New York City, you know it looks like this on a daily basis:And no matter what day or time of the week, you can always count on hundreds of people gathering togetheroutside the southeast entrance to Central Park where five Pokstops are conveniently located atop one another. There's always a lure module attached to each and it's quite the Pok haven.You may evenget Justin Bieber (the self-proclaimed rarest Pokmon of them all) orJohn Mayer showup to try and catch 'em all too. The only time you have to leave is forsleep, to recharge your phone and external battery pack, or for work.And while I've begun to exhaust the selection of Pokmon up for grabs around Central Park and New York CityI'm currently at level 19 and have caught 83 different types of PokmonI figured it couldn't get any better than that.Oh how I was wrong.Welcome to San Diego where the Pokstops are plentiful and the lure modules go on as far as the eye can see.I'm visitingthis week with my colleague Melia Robinson for the annual pop culture and comic book convention and in between snappingphotos, running around from panel to panel, and scooping up some swag, we've been trying to fit in some "Pokmon GO." (It comes in hand when you're waiting in line!)While the Pokstop situation is a gold mine in New York City as well, the real plus to playing "Pokmon GO" at the Con is the selection of Pokmon themselves.Here's a look at what I've caught since I've been here Wednesday afternoon:And hereare somePokmon we've been coming across.After chatting with some fellow Pokmon trainersfrom across the nationat the convention, the consensus is that San Diego has some pretty uncommon Pokmon.Cubone, Machop, Clefairy, Ryhorn, Sandshrew, and Growlithe are all pretty common to see in downtown San Diego. Vulpix has been floating around but has evaded me. I scooped up my first Onyx Thursday afternoon along with a Graveler. A Charmeleon (the evolution of Charmander) even poppedup on my radar at one point, but because of that three-step glitchI had no idea how far, or in what direction, he was.We haven't found any big Pokmon gatherings like the one in NYC I've grown accustomed to yet; however,we still have a few days left to go (and we're also on a tight schedule that makes playing "Pokmon GO" a little more challenging).By the time Monday rolls around and lure mods pack up and disappear along with the over 135,000or so peopleat the convention hall, Pokmon'ing may not be as fun. But for now, in between panels and capturing cosplay photos, we're going to try and catch 'em all.Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: This Easter egg lets you pick what your Eevee evolves into in 'Pokmon GO
