Swablu Community Day rates an A

Swablu Community Day was very good. I was thrilled to hear that this at the time Future Mega was going to be Community Day and the day did not disappoint. I am definitely for the idea of making Mega eligible Mons Community Day focus. Only negative for me might not be a net negative, butContinue reading “Swablu Community Day rates an A”

Second Special Statement on Goomy

This Goomy was caught off of an Incense last night (4 May). I am happy to see that in this event that Dragons are showing up in representative numbers. I caught some with and without incense last night and look forward to a proper Dragon event.

Pokemon Snap Celebration gets a D-

Last weekend was the Pokemon Snap Celebration in Pokemon Go land. Whereas the event itself was fair to middling, the end results of it was very disappointing. Good: I got 60 “surprise” encounters and finished my Platinum Cameraman Badge. This Badge is one of the more annoying ones to get since it is a randomContinue reading “Pokemon Snap Celebration gets a D-“

Special Statement on Goomy

As a Trainer and Blogger who was pushing Goomy for Community Day recently, I am excited that we will be seeing this Dragon make its debut on May 4 (8 days from Press Time). I had originally pushed for this particular Pokemon for Community Day since it would be a very interesting candidate and checkedContinue reading “Special Statement on Goomy”

Sustainability Week – Mixed Grades

Sustainability Week is over, so I will give it a grade like I have the last few events. I will highlight the good, bad, and ugly. Good: I like that Grimer was a co-feature. Grimer is a favorite of mine, especially Muk. I was glad to see, even though I don’t quite get why GrimerContinue reading “Sustainability Week – Mixed Grades”

Floors for Pokemon Encounters

As I mentioned earlier this month, my latest Giovanni defeat netted me a 9/8/7 Shadow Zapdos. To me, that is insane. Friends have shown me lower IV Shadow Zapdos and other Giovanni Shadows. This just should not be. There should be floors for every type of Pokemon received based on work put in and expectedContinue reading “Floors for Pokemon Encounters”

Rivals Week – Incomplete for Content

I’m giving Rivals Week an I (Incomplete) for the Content. There were lots of good, but the negatives were glaring. Good: The focus on Fighting Pokemon was a definite positive. At least in my experience, fighting Pokemon do not get the spotlight for a long time like this very often. I enjoy them in general,Continue reading “Rivals Week – Incomplete for Content”

Bear in Mind Series – Post 1… What’s a Starter?

As my blog and my thoughts gain a varied audience, I have noticed that there times when my advocation is not completely understood. With this in mind, I am staring a “Bear in Mind” Series which highlights some of my “blind spots”. I have said some of these things in the past, but they bearContinue reading “Bear in Mind Series – Post 1… What’s a Starter?”

Briefs 4/14/21

Just a few things that came up recently that are not long enough to blog solo… I am VERY disappointed that Rivals Week does not include the additional Rocket activities. This was one of the most important parts for me. I enjoy battling and defeating the Rocket Grunts and Leaders. Combined with the fact thatContinue reading “Briefs 4/14/21”
