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!”

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”

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”

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-“

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”

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?”
