Bounsweet Community Day

You know what? This community day fucking sucked. Bounsweet is one of those small, annoying Pokemon with a kinda meh shiny, a fucky hitbox and no windup for its attack animation. And, for some reason, it’s getting a Community Day before something useful, like the next starter Pokemon, Popplio. This stupid little berry Pokemon apparently is getting its chance to shine in the spotlight. Why? No idea. But this Pokemon is a bastard. It’s small, hard to catch and attacks a lot. And before you say “get good”, I want to point out that I can reliably land excellent throws… [Continue Reading]

Stupid Bird Event

I normally like research days. But the problem is, you’re always completely limited by how many Pokestops there are near you. And right now, there are only 20 Pokestops near me, that I can be bothered to walk to. I could get in my car and drive down to the harbour, but today, the wind is hot, the sun is burning and it’s tourist season now and I don’t want to walk among large crowds. But the thing is, we don’t even really get interesting birds. The only interesting one is Rufflet, which isn’t very useful, but I don’t have… [Continue Reading]

I just want to say fuck you to the four people who brought dragon types to a Tapu Fini raid and made us lose.

I just want to say fuck you to the four people who brought dragon types to a Tapu Fini raid and made us lose. Yes, the four of you. I am blaming all four of you for failing a raid that should have been comfortably doable with three people. I’m just one person. Sure, I’m one person with an ARMY of Kartanas, a bunch of powered up Zekroms, a perfect Shadow Magnezone and 4 level 40 Metagrosses, but I can only do so much damage. I need the rest of you to bring Pokemon that Tapu Fini is also weak… [Continue Reading]

Revenge Unfulfilled

In the way the Phoviverse is written, technically, previous versions are still somewhat canon. Major events within previous MKs still happen in some way, although the names and details may have been altered or erased by the passing of history and the meddling of Time Drakes, the divine beings that govern the flow of Time within the Phoviverse. Today’s story isn’t set in the current Phoviverse MK5 era. It’s set in a long, distant past, all the way back in MK3, tying up a single string that I never really got around to dealing with. A vague, twisted answer to… [Continue Reading]

Announcing the Fiction Fun Category

So yeah I know I said I was taking a break and stuff but I don’t want to leave this blog completely dead. While writing articles has been a real struggle for me as of late, I have been writing more and more fiction. In fact, checking over on my Phoviverse website, in the last month alone, my stories have hit the top 10 for most words like 5 times. But since I’m writing so much there, I decided I can put some of that to good use. No, that doesn’t mean I’ll be publishing every Phoviverse article here. Because… [Continue Reading]

Xeno Dessaron One VS Temthans of Anarchy

Hey, remember that week where I posted fiction from the Phoviverse? You know, that silly story arc of four adventurers, dubbed Xeno Dessaron One, killed some big, scary monsters? Well, these guys are normally gladiators, and, in the Phoviverse, they just got their first proper match in ages. Let’s see how it goes. Finally, after weeks of nothing, someone had finally stepped up to challenge Xeno Dessaron One. The problem was, the team that had stepped up was the Temthans of Anarchy, demanding a rematch. They were the team Xeno Dessaron One managed to beat just before the Whenvern crashed… [Continue Reading]

I’m Sorry

I’m sorry. After over 4100 daily articles, I can’t keep this website updated daily any more. I’ve tried, but enough is enough, I need to rest. Over the last few weeks, I’ve had basically no desire to write nonfiction articles that match the Daily SPUF’s tone. I’ve had a family member pass away and all the bullshit around that, I’ve had a period out of nowhere and over the last week or so, I’ve been absolutely floored by random pains across my body and a complete and utter lack of energy. I keep on getting anxiety attacks and the only… [Continue Reading]

Not Cleffa Hatch Day

Baby Pokemon are stupid. For some reason, in Pokemon GO, these bastards are restricted from being caught and you HAVE to hatch them from eggs. Which means that, if you want a shiny one, you gotta do a lot of walking and buy a lot of incubators. Now, occasionally, we get ‘Hatch Days’, which are basically Community Days for Baby Pokemon. The first one was for Riolu, whose only real use is being taught a second move while its cheap before you evolve it into a Lucario. It was an alright event, but it was kinda tedious and there was… [Continue Reading]

Sizable Surprises Was a Fun Event But It Could Have Been More Fun

I love XXL and XXS Pokemon. I find them cute. XXL versions of massive Pokemon and XXS versions of tiny Pokemon are even better. And that is kinda what Sizable Surprises, a recent Pokemon GO event, did. It gave increased chances to get XXL and XXS Pokemon, as well as spawning a bunch of Pokemon known for being big or small. But that was kinda just it. Sure, there were increased chances to get a shiny Wailmer, but the event overall was kinda lacking. Really, I think the biggest problem was the spawns. The spawns weren’t bad but they were… [Continue Reading]
