Shiny?!

Did I…. just get a shiny Wynaut from an egg?!

OMG I GOT A SHINY FROM AN EGG!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*ahem* Um.... yes... shinies are very rare for me to get, but I've gotten more from Pokémon Go than in any other Pokémon game.

Caught! Kyogre

This jerk took so many great and ultra balls to try and catch! I spent over ten minutes in the middle of a store trying to get this idiot!

And now I see he's, "extra small," and just... ugh.

Still, one more legendary down!

so many quests! 😭

Hmmm. . .

Thinking of maybe picking up my Nintendo 3DS to play some Pokémon tomorrow. . . still need to fill my Pokédex after all! I'll start with Sun and Moon and then move on to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon to see all the new stuff! (and fill up that Pokédex too, of course!)

Or I might just start now, who knows!

First Legendary!

On the road again!

where I left off

Gimme!

Shiny!

I've caught more shinies in Pokemon Go than any other Pokemon game

dun dun duuuuuuunnnnnn!

I'm sorry, what?

On to Victory Road!

Time to Haunt!

Time for Victory Road!

Nothing like walking past guards as you ride your trusty Haunter, right?

Here's the team I'm going in with, hopefully I can make it through to Indigo Plateau!

Fly, Eevee!

One of the things that's really weird for me (as someone who played the original games back in the 90s) is how easily and quickly you can acquire all former HM moves. You don't even need a specific poke to be your little HM mule anymore, your partner just learns them for you.

I'm not saying it's good or bad, just different is all.

ugh Go Park

Why? Why do I have to catch it again? It's already mine.

so cute

Top of the Tower

I cannot and will not lie.


I cried.

(spoilers under the cut)

Lavender Town

We meet again, Lavender Town.

dude

Because sometimes a fully-grown man needs to battle a child to prove himself? Giovanni, you have issues. Talk to someone.


(also my Eevee will kick your butt)

Let's-a Go!

So I've been playing Let's Go Eevee and I have to say that it's, uh.... it's certainly different than what I was expecting.

I'm not going to sit here and prattle on about, "Back in my day, Pokémon was...." no. Times change, things change, I can accept that.

The name, I think, should have clued me in a little? But I turned on the game, immediately got hit by that first (of many) waves of nostalgia, and then I go through the tutorial on how to catch Pokémon and it's... that's the part that threw me, really. Using your controller to throw PokéBalls? Great, yes.

But not battling it first?

In some ways I appreciate it, because there's no longer that extra time spent whittling it down to low health, accidentally fainting it, having to run around and find another one... I know it got boring, but that in itself was fun for me, somehow. At least the catching of the Pokémon grants experience, and I love that I can just look in the grass to see what's available. I don't even mind that the wild Pokémon come up on the road sometimes, I think it's great.

I've written several reasons why I don't like Pokémon Go, but I still play it, because it's fun and it's silly. I'm just not sure that a fusion between Pokémon Go and a console Pokémon game was the way to go?

Speaking of which, the Go Park. Listen here Nintendo, I worked hard to catch all those Pokémon out in the wilds of real life; why do I have to catch them again in the Go Park? Do you know how many PokéBalls I've gone through to catch Pokémon that are already mine? Please fix that. Please.

Boy did Mount Moon bring back some memories though. . . :)

Meltan

I found one! 

. . . now I just have to evolve it 

time to transfer it to Let's Go Eevee & just level up!

uh... Professor Willow?

anyone else have this problem?

Cyndaquil

Woohoo, another shiny!

I've gotten more shinies on PokémonGO than I have in any other game. XD
