Alolan Geodude Community Day was this past weekend. This Community Day will not get a high rating for reasons, but wasn’t all that bad. First, I have to discount the fact that it was blistering hot over this weekend here in the New Jersey. First time it’s been 90 degrees since last summer. I knowContinue reading “Alolan Geodude Community Day… C- at best”

Remote Raids should be Returned to what they were
The recent de-emphasis on Remote Raids has been an epic failure on Niantic’s part for those of us in rural areas and who cannot get out. There so many fronts on which Niantic’s recent moves have been terrible for all Trainers. For rural and semi-rural Trainers, this is was another punch to the gut. IContinue reading “Remote Raids should be Returned to what they were”
Air Adventures gets an A
This past week was Air Adventures in Pokemon Go. I really enjoyed this event and give it an A. Positive: Wednesday Night Raids almost felt like the old days. People were not live where I was, but at least 10+ people were in my raids during Wednesday Night Raids. I saw someone I did notContinue reading “Air Adventures gets an A”
Quality of Game Improvement – Start the Raid Now Button
Niantic has always been discussing Quality of Life Improvements and other beneficial changes for Pokemon GO. There have been some improvements to make the game more accessible overall. Guaranteed Daily Spawn, Research, and Gifts to send to friends, as well as Rocket Ballons and other similar features have leveled the playing field for more ruralContinue reading “Quality of Game Improvement – Start the Raid Now Button”
Sustainability Week Collection Challenge… a Failure on Multiple Fronts
I finished the Sustainability Week Collection Challenge right after Community Day on Saturday April 23. It took a lot more effort, questions to fellow Trainers, and other frustration to finish than was necessary. There were only 6 mons needed this time around, a nice reduction of the total needed from normal of 8 or 9.Continue reading “Sustainability Week Collection Challenge… a Failure on Multiple Fronts”
Stufful Community Day was OK
Stufful Community Day was yesterday. I was unimpressed. Yes, a brand new Pokemon is great. We’re all on even footing and any shinies are new shinies. I like getting new shinies. It also is a cuter Pokemon and attractive to the younger/family set (not that I care), though Bewear looks like a person in aContinue reading “Stufful Community Day was OK”
Definitions of Certain Phrases & Names of Pokemon/Other Characters
I use a number of words differently than the normal Pokemon definition and use words that tie into my experiences that make a lot more sense to me. Here are some of them. This is a work in progress, and I will come back to it and add from time to time. Definitions: Battle andContinue reading “Definitions of Certain Phrases & Names of Pokemon/Other Characters”
Make Our Buddies More Valuable #3 – Give Souvenirs Value/Use
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-“
