At Buddy Level 3, we get Souvenirs from our Buddies. These little trinkets are practically useless. I understand that the Lone Earring allows the Trainer’s avatar to wear earrings. That doesn’t do much for me and I have rarely seen any other fellow Trainers avatars with them on. Also, the Challenges to Level 48 includeContinue reading “Make Our Buddies More Valuable #3 – Give Souvenirs Value/Use”

This Beginner was not in Paradise
Over Easter, we had the “Beginner’s Paradise” Day which was supposed to gently get people into PvP. For me, it was a reaffirmation of why I am not really into PvP, especially at the lowest levels. The game said that the Lightweight and Bantamweight Divisions (Great and Little Cup) are “beginner friendly”. I have toContinue reading “This Beginner was not in Paradise”
Go Fest 2021 Gets a B-
Go Fest 2021 ended on Sunday after a full weekend of Pokemon action. There were highlights, lowlights, and some in between. Please remember, this is based on my experience only, your individual experience may have been different. Very Excellent: I saw more Wailmer on Saturday than I have in a VERY long time. That aloneContinue reading “Go Fest 2021 Gets a B-“
Gyms – An Overlooked Part of the Game
Gyms seem to be a forgotten part of the game. Yes, the 50 coins for 8+ hours of defending (daily cap) is a nice bonus and I want to get them as I can. However, if I need coins, I will buy them normally. Admittedly, I have a hard time getting to gyms as noneContinue reading “Gyms – An Overlooked Part of the Game”
Why, July?
July 2021 seems to be heavily focused on Go Fest, but there are regular events that are missing that are a fun part of the game. This is doubled since there are Medals for some of these that cannot be brought anywhere near Platinum because of this. Giovanni is among the missing parts of theContinue reading “Why, July?”
My Bidoof Week Review
Bidoof Week had its ups and downs. There are elements I would like to keep and elements that I would like to get rid of… Good: Bidoof Day on July 1. The complete take over for one day was fun. Seeing Bidoof everywhere, even in the raids was actually quite fun. I will admit thatContinue reading “My Bidoof Week Review”
Please Do Not Nerf Remote Raiders
As previously mentioned, there are many changes that are related to the global situation that are being reviewed and decisions were made. Remote Raids were addressed very briefly. I did not see any real decisions. Remote Raids allow people who do not have near by gyms to raid with friends without having to go inContinue reading “Please Do Not Nerf Remote Raiders”
My Take on Pokemon Go Situational Rollbacks
When the current world situation began, we all had to change a lot of our daily lives. There were many restrictions on movement, closures of many establishments, and a general prohibition on most social activities. In some areas, the situation is now much better and many restrictions have been rolled back. With this in mind,Continue reading “My Take on Pokemon Go Situational Rollbacks”
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS
I thought that this was resolved a while back. Harken back to my post where I suggested reasonable minimums for various Pokemon. I guess somewhere this was missed. 10/11/7 on Giovanni’s Ho-Oh. 1*. This is the taste in my mouth I am left with until September when Giovanni returns. I would not be complaining asContinue reading “YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS”
Adventure with Your Buddy to Evolve: Fun, but Let’s Not Go Too Far
With Spritzee, Swirlix, and Pancham joining Galarian Farfetch’d as Adventure with Your Buddy to evolve characters, it seems as if this method is here to stay. I do enjoy some of these newer evolution extra steps prior to evolution. Each one of the Pokemon have featured a different style of evolution challenge. I present theseContinue reading “Adventure with Your Buddy to Evolve: Fun, but Let’s Not Go Too Far”
