The five types of lure module currently in Pokemon GO

Lure Modules Aren’t Very Good

November 17, 2023November 6, 2023 Medic 0 Comments incense, lure module, pokemon go

Lure modules are like incense for Pokestops. You stick a lure module on a Pokestop and it spawns some Pokemon for you. Lure modules generally spawn from specific pools. The default lure module spawns whatever Pokemon are currently in the normal spawn pool, so they’ll spawn event Pokemon if there is an event, although some events do have Pokemon that are exclusive to lure modules. However, the special lures, Glacial, Mossy, Magnetic and Rainy, all have their own unique pools of Pokemon, and spawn a combination of these unique spawns and normal spawns. The special lures can also be used… [Continue Reading]

Little Quality of Life Things I Want for Pokemon GO

November 16, 2023November 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Over the years, Pokemon GO had been given a lot of little quality of life updates. But after all these years, there is still work to be done. Here are some quality of life changes, or rather, additions I’d like to see. A way to spin Pokestops with a full bag Pokestops do two things. They give you items and they give you research tasks. Sometimes, you just want research tasks. However, if your item bag is full, you can’t get research tasks, you need to clear some space out first. This is quite annoying. There’s no real reason to… [Continue Reading]

Is Saints Row: The Third a Good Game?

November 15, 2023November 4, 2023 Medic 0 Comments Saints Row

When you compare Saints Rows 2 and 3, the differences are quite big. Although Saints Row 3 is a prettier game, it’s lacking a lot of features that Saints Row 2 had. There are missing minigames, the story isn’t as long and there’s only really one singular story path with only a handful of decisions that matter. Saints Row 2 lets you pick which gang you want to take out first, while Saints Row 3 has a specific order to start in forcing you to take out Morningstar first, Deckers second and Luchadors last. There’s also a distinct tone shift… [Continue Reading]

Shiny Pokemon I Want But Still Don’t Have

November 14, 2023November 3, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shiny

Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO are more common than they are in other Pokemon games, except maybe in Scarlet and Violet, where you can just eat sandwiches that increase the chance of having shiny Pokemon pop up around you. But despite me having played Pokemon GO for years, there are plenty of Pokemon that are missing from my shiny collection. Here’s just a few of them. Slugma I don’t really know why I want a shiny Slugma. It’s a really interesting shiny that goes light grey. Weirdly, its evolution, Magcargo (which is a pretty crap name for a lava snail… [Continue Reading]

Mega Garchomp Raid Day

November 12, 2023November 11, 2023 Medic 0 Comments dragon, garchomp, mega, pokemon go, raid day

November 11th featured the first Raid Day in a long time, involving a new Mega Pokemon, Mega Garchomp. While we did have a Gible Community Day a few years back, this event allowed us to finally Mega Evolve the Garchomps we’ve had for so long, as well as the chance to catch some more Garchomps. The Garchomps had a chance to be shiny, and you got up to 5 free raid passes by spinning gyms. There were plenty of raids to be had. As a somewhat new feature, each raid would last 1 hour, and, after the raid ended, a… [Continue Reading]

Halloween Ends on 8pm in Pokemon GO

November 11, 2023November 1, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Halloween is generally a big thing. While I spent my Halloween on my own, sitting in pain and crying, many people went out, put costumes and ate tons of candy. Whether they went from door to door or went to a party, they had fun and probably stayed out past 8pm. People with little kids probably didn’t stay out too late, but it was Halloween, the day where most people DID stay out. Not for Pokemon GO though. The Halloween event they had (which included a Rocket Takeover event too) decided to end at 8pm. At exactly 8pm, all the… [Continue Reading]

The Best Sea of Thieves Session in a Long Time

November 10, 2023November 9, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves

On Wednesday, I got a message, asking to play Sea of Thieves. The last few sessions we’d played, it had been on a sloop, either solo or with Bacxaber, and, thanks to a combination of bugs and the game’s awful hit registration, we hadn’t managed to get a lot done. However, with Fox as a third crew member and a change of ship scenery, we decided to just go out, be Reapers and do some world events. Nice and simple. Nothing fancy. After all, there’s a season to be completed, and the rewards for this season are pretty good. For… [Continue Reading]

The Curse Of Looking for Raids

November 9, 2023October 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lugia, pokemon go, raid, shadow

I swear, every time I go out looking for raids, I can’t find any. But when I don’t want to do raids, there are plenty of them. The other day, I went out to play Pokemon GO with my brother, and we simply couldn’t find any raids. We tend to go out to do raids semi regularly, since we both play together. As of late, thanks to the Master Ball research, we’ve wanted to do more raids, thanks to the Win 60 Raids task in the timed research. While I managed to complete the research thanks to my location, my… [Continue Reading]

Finding My Old 94% Saints Row 3 Save

November 8, 2023October 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments Saints Row, saints row 2, saints row 3

Lately, I’ve wanted to play something new but familiar. And preferably with low graphics so I can play with a decent framerate. I browsed through my game library and noticed that I hadn’t played any of the Saints Row games in a while. The last time I tried anything like that, I found myself playing Agents of Mayhem, and I very much ended up giving up on it. The game just wasn’t enjoyable to me, and wasn’t really Saints-Row-y enough. I’ve had similar problems with the Saints Row games, but something drew me into reinstalling Saints Row 2 and 3.… [Continue Reading]

How I’d Improve Shadow Raids in Pokemon GO

November 7, 2023October 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shadow raids

Shadow Raids are exactly that: raids but with Shadow Pokemon. These raids vary between being very hard to very difficult, especially if you do Shadow Legendary Raids. However, I think these raids, which are often ignored, could be improved. Here’s how I’d do it. Stop making them angrier When you do a Shadow Raid, if it’s a level 3 or level 5 raid, then the Pokemon you’re raiding against gets enraged. This means they do more damage and they also take less damage. There are two ways to subdue a Pokemon that’s enraged. You either throw purification gems at the… [Continue Reading]
