I am still working 40 hours a week in a essential job. So I don’t have the time to do the blogging since a lot of my job right now is high stress. So this is not always high priority, but once a week I will at least do TWIP Notes (This Week in Pokemon).Continue reading “TWIP Notes 5/3/2020”

I can pretty much sum my Abra (Double) Community Day by sharing my “Catch of the Day” OK, I got 8 shinies, but no Abras were over 87%. I am glad I saved a 96% for this event or I would have been totally out of luck for a good Alakazam from this event. HopeContinue reading “Abra (Double) Community Day”

Yesterday (April 19, 2020) was Incense Day… though it felt like Sentret Double Community Day. It was 6 hours of Pokemon in a row of various intensity. Some hours were great…. some hours were the complete opposite. Water Hour for me at least was great… I saw a good number of Mudkip (something I amContinue reading “Sentret Double Community Day… err… Incense Day”

April 15, 2020 brought a lot of news to the Pokemon Go world. Some of these are great news… some not at all. First thing that is mentioned is the final (hopefully not) information about Remote Raid Passes. Only if you have a gym on your Nearby Screen (where we catch Pokemon) will you beContinue reading “New Features – Some Great, Some Not So Much”

A friend of mine and I were talking about some of our favorite Pokemon. When we got to how close to Tangrowth we are, she mentioned she is 30 candies away. I said I don’t have one right now, so I have no idea how close or not I am to getting Tangrowth. It hasContinue reading “Change #7 – How Many Candies Do I Have?”

Recently, Niantic announced that Pokemon Go Players should be able to raid from home in the near future. This, along with the catch from home would make a pair of major changes to help us in who have to stay at home. I do have a few questions that deserve answers and some suggestions forContinue reading “Questions about the Temporary Raid Ability”

Niantic is getting it now. Glad to see that the Giovanni Quest has been extended to April with Entei as the reward. With so many of us on lockdown and it seems like the lockdown will continue through April at this rate, we get a sorely needed rest from one of the more time consumingContinue reading “No New Giovanni in April – Wise Decision”

This works from Buddy1 (chosen buddy but not played with) to Buddy5 (Best Buddy) and all in between based on heart level. Thanks, Niantic.

I know I am invoking a classic “Spaghetti Western” in my title, but there have been some of all three so far. The Good More Pokeballs in Gifts. I received upwards of 10 Red Pokeballs in some gifts. Cancellation/Postponement of some events that are geared more towards group gaming. Some have been reworked to soloContinue reading “Niantic’s COVID-19 Reactions so far: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”

So yes, the Incense does work from my house. Just wish I didn’t need it to get home catches… Here is my first Shiny.
