Why You Should Try Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments ,

I love Pokemon GO. It’s most likely my most-played game these days, and I play it all the time with ease. Despite not being a massive Pokemon fan when it comes to the main series games, Pokemon GO satisfies the Pokemon desire to play, while doing so in a rather casual manner. Here are some reasons why I think you should try Pokemon GO. It’s Pokemon Frankly, the Pokemon IP is a massive part of why Niantic has been so successful. There’s so many Pokemon to collect, and with more constantly being released, it can be tough to try and… [Continue Reading]

5 New features I want to see within the Pokemon GO Buddy system

Medic 0 Comments

I very much enjoy the buddy system in Pokemon GO. One of my favourite things to do is to take Pokemon I like and walk them until they are best buddies, earning various candies along the way. But there are some new features that I’d like to see with the buddy system. After all, it makes a change having a companion rather than just using Pokemon to beat other Pokemon up. A faster Quick Treat You can hit the quick feeding button whenever you open the buddy screen. But it doesn’t really do much, it mostly just automatically has the… [Continue Reading]

Swinub Classic Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Back in 2019, we had a Swinub Community Day. The event was great and we all managed to get a bunch of Mamoswines, ready for the next dragon boss to come by. Most people didn’t care much for the special move, but we were all glad to finally have one of the best ice types in the game for a while. Since then, we’ve had a few better ice types, but in the same way Machamp is still a great pick, so is Mamoswine. Not the best, but very reliable. 2019 though was a long time ago. We’ve had some… [Continue Reading]

There’s Something Wrong With Niantic Lately

Medic 0 Comments ,

Playing Pokemon GO has been a bit weird lately. There have been lots of little issues and problems, but nothing really going towards fixing them. We’ve had weird glitches and bugs and a lot of late, weird or wrong information. And there have been updates that no one has liked in any way. It seems like there is something wrong with Niantic as of late. As of writing, the most recent oddity is a bonus on the current Sustainability event. We have a Sustainability event every year, generally focused on green things, and with common Pokemon related to the environment… [Continue Reading]

Dead End Stories In Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Back at the start of the year, Pokemon GO had some sort of plot point featuring a massive door, that Arlo from Team GO Rocket wanted to open. Apparently it contained some sort of mystical power and we had to, I don’t know, stop him? At the end of the season though, nothing actually happened. It was a dead end plot point. We hardly even got to see what was behind this magical door, we just know that we stopped Arlo doing whatever it was he was doing. Now, some of you are probably thinking that Pokemon GO doesn’t have… [Continue Reading]

Togetic Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

On Saturday 15th, we had a rather odd community day. Rather than featuring a basic Pokemon, we got a first evolution. Togetic is an unusual Pokemon that has a baby form, Togepi. It then evolves into the Pokemon equivalent of a stealth jet. But was the community day any good? Well, it’s a yes and a no. When it comes to shinies, it’s a bit of a mess. Togetic’s shiny is actually very easy to miss. Several times I clicked on a shiny and nearly backed out because it didn’t look shiny at first glance. If it wasn’t for the… [Continue Reading]

Good Luck with Disguised Pokemon

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Back when I was new to Pokemon GO, I had a bit of a problem. I needed to catch a Ditto in order to proceed with special research. It took me a while, but I eventually got one when Meltan was first teased as a new Pokemon, just after the Chikorita Community Day. And later on, for another quest, I needed another Ditto to proceed. I actually got lucky and didn’t have to travel far, as I found a Ditto disguised as a Rattata, about twenty minutes after I got that research. However, most people aren’t that lucky. Most early… [Continue Reading]

Little Tiny Things You May Not Have Noticed in Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Pokemon GO has tiny little tidbits that you may not notice. Not so much easter eggs, more little details that are easily missed. Here are some of these little tidbits. • Your shadow moves with the time of day. This is actually a somewhat newer feature, but the shadow of your avatar and the shadow of your buddy will move according to the time of day, getting longer in the evenings and shorter closer to noon. • Pokemon you have tapped on turn to face you. If you tap on a Pokemon and don’t catch it, it will turn to… [Continue Reading]

Costume Pokemon I’d Like to See

Medic 0 Comments , ,

In the past, I have complained about costume Pokemon, and how there are too many of them. But it’s clear as day that Niantic won’t stop with the costumes and hats, so we might as well join in and think of our own costumes. Here’s a bunch of costumed Pokemon that I want to see. Party Hat Weedle We already have Party Hat Wurmple, so why not go a step further and shove more party hats on Pokemon? Actually, we don’t really need to do that. Still, Weedle has a horn on its head that is perfect for a party… [Continue Reading]

Okay, Some of these Research Tasks are Godawful

Medic 0 Comments ,

With so many events in Pokemon GO, it’s hard to remember where tasks come from. Now, normal research tasks are orange, daily free tasks are green and event tasks are bronze, with the word “event” underneath them. However, some of these research tasks are so dreadful. Like, genuinely bad tasks. Why are they even here? What spurred me to write this article was one such awful task. During the Team Rocket Takeover event, which overlapped with the Ditto event, there were some event-related research tasks. Two of them were easy to ignore. Most people don’t want to catch 10 Pokemon… [Continue Reading]
