July 2022 Lookahead… Some Hits, Some Misses

The July Content Update came out today. I was hoping to hear more about what was happening next month by now. I will only comment on things I can access. No need to comment about Go Fest in far off cities I won’t get to… The events seem promising. The Anniversary Event is usually somethingContinue reading “July 2022 Lookahead… Some Hits, Some Misses”

Deino Community Day: High Hopes, Lousy Execution

The June 2022 Community Day was highly anticipated. Considering that last year, we got Gible after a shiny release where it was frustratingly difficult to get throughout June 2020-May 2021. This was a T1 staple and was something that Trainers were going nuts for. Then in June 2021, we got our Community Day. Highly ratedContinue reading “Deino Community Day: High Hopes, Lousy Execution”

Go Fest gets a C- at best!

I paid for the ticket. My expectations were for at least double digit shinies per day – 20 on day 1 with great rates and 10 on day 2 with good rates, great raids, good times with friends and my Fiancee, and the days being worth the ticket. In many ways, it wasn’t. For theContinue reading “Go Fest gets a C- at best!”

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”

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-“

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”

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”

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”
