Wonder Box, The Fun Feature Pokemon GO Lacks

December 21, 2021December 14, 2021 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, pokemon home, trading, wonder box

When I installed Pokemon Home on my phone, I realized that something was missing. Not from Pokemon Home, but from Pokemon GO. You see, Pokemon Home isn’t really a game. It’s more of a storage area for Pokemon, like a second PC. Unlike a PC though, you can bring a lot more into your Pokemon Home account, and it has some backwards compatibility. You can even send Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Home, but you can’t send it back to Pokemon GO later. Something lacking… Anyway, I quickly found what I felt Pokemon GO lacked, and that was trading.… [Continue Reading]

Please Can We Have a Master Ball?

December 19, 2021December 12, 2021 Medic 0 Comments feature request, master ball, pokemon, pokemon go

While Pokemon GO does include many features from the main games, there’s an odd thing that we’ve never had before. While having the same fighting system is one thing this game lacks, I want to talk about something much smaller: the Master Ball. For the handful of people who have never played a Pokemon game, a Master Ball will catch any Pokemon with a 100% guarantee, and 0% chance of breaking out. In the main games, you generally only ever get one Master Ball for your entire region. It’s such an amazing and useful Pokeball that you really need to… [Continue Reading]

What to Prioritize for December’s Community Day Event

December 17, 2021December 11, 2021 Medic 0 Comments community day, event, pokemon go, rhyperior, shiny

Every December in Pokemon GO, the monthly Community Day is different. Rather than having nothing but one Pokemon spawning, December Community Days recap what we had during the years. For December, we get an entire year’s worth of Community Day Pokemon, allowing you to grab shinies and moves you may have missed. However, this year, there is a LOT of stuff going on in Pokemon GO. Thanks to the Eevee-lutions, there are way more limited community day moves, compared to previous years. And with so much going on, it’s easy to lose track. Here are some things you should prioritize… [Continue Reading]

Hoopa in Pokemon GO and Hope for Transformations

December 13, 2021December 6, 2021 Medic 1 Comment evolution, mythical, mythical pokemon, pokemon go

November was a pretty interesting month in Pokemon GO. While we’ve had various themed seasons so far, November ended with a pretty cool bit of special research. Rather than rewarding you with a Legendary or Mythical at the end, we got Hoopa early on. This was then followed by a secondary quest, in which we unlocked something awesome. The ability to change Hoopa’s form, from its normal version to its unbound version. Hoopa Unbound, within Reach The ability to change a Pokemon’s form in Pokemon GO is actually a pretty new feature. We first saw it with Furfrou, a weird… [Continue Reading]

Five Reasons why you should play Pokemon GO with a friend.

December 9, 2021December 2, 2021 Medic 0 Comments buddy, friend, pokemon go

Pokemon GO is supposed to be a friendly little game. The basic idea is that a community comes together to catch Pokemon and have fun. And when Pokemon GO first came out, we all had a lovely summer playing Pokemon together. Friendship level ups give a lot of experience Funnily enough, making new friends is actually one of the fastest ways to level up. As you reach different tiers of friendship, you get more and more experience. The higher the rank you reach, the more experience you’ll get. If you reach Best Friends, you get 100,000 experience! Having a Best… [Continue Reading]

Regional Pokemon Just Out of Reach

December 3, 2021November 29, 2021 Medic 4 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, regional pokemon

Regional Pokemon in Pokemon GO have always been a little odd. Instead of spawning worldwide, they only spawn in specific countries an geographical areas. As time passes on, it is possible that we will get more regional Pokemon, despite a lot of players not liking regionals. For many, getting a complete pokedex is impossible, due to being unable to travel the world. Instead, we have to just be content with what we have. However, regional Pokemon aren’t particularly evenly spread out. Some Pokemon are available on other sides of the planet. Others only spawn in tiny areas, and a lot… [Continue Reading]

A Collaboration event with Ed Sheeran?

November 24, 2021November 23, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ed sheeran, event, music, pokemon go

Collaborations in Pokemon GO are weird, and honestly quite neat. For example, in various countries, places like Starbucks have sponsored Pokestops. On the other hand, some players get sponsored balloons, that drop in and give you free stuff. And Pokemon GO has done a lot of collaboration with Japanese companies. There have also been events with other American companies too. Heck, we also have an entire dress-up category, where our in-game avatars can wear sponsored apparel. However, most of these sponsored events, items, and all that, they are all very… corporate. A bare minimum in the hope of selling a… [Continue Reading]

A Season of Misunderstood Mischief

November 23, 2021November 17, 2021 Medic 0 Comments hoopa, mythical, pokemon go, research

For this season of Pokemon GO, things have been a tad different. It’s been multiple months of mischief. And along side it, we actually have a quest for a new Mythical Pokemon. However, unlike normal Mythical Pokemon quests, Hoopa’s quest has a small twist on things. A good idea in theory Misunderstood Mischief is an attempt to do something new. Rather than just release the entire quest in one go, Misunderstood Mischief is designed to work alongside current events in Pokemon GO. Each of the research’s steps tied in with concurrent events, making it a tad easier to follow. In… [Continue Reading]

A Wish for Long Distance Communication in Pokemon GO

November 9, 2021November 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments lucky, pokemon go, trading

In Pokemon GO, you need some form of communication. A massive part of Pokemon GO requires you to make friends and join each other in raids. Unless you are willing to skip doing Legendary and Mega raids, playing completely solo ends up being tiring rather than fun. The same applies for trading, to get Pokemon you want. However, Pokemon GO is actually quite strict with trades and raids. You can only trade when close to each other, and you can only send Remote Raid invites to 5 people. And with GPS not being constantly accurate, can make matters worse. At… [Continue Reading]

5 Reasons Why You Should Be Walking a Magikarp

November 2, 2021October 26, 2021 Medic 1 Comment fun, magikarp, pokemon go

Magikarp is the best Pokemon. People call it a joke, but it’s the best thing around. Some Magikarp are so good that they can flip-flop over hills and leap over mountains. When a Magikarp grows tired of being awesome, it then evolves into a Gyarados, a massive flying sea serpent. One that can mega evolve into a monstrous dark water beast. Magikarp is also cool in Pokemon GO. Except that it takes 400 candy to evolve into Gyarados. No need to worry though, you’ll get that candy, don’t you worry! Anyway here are 5 reasons why you should walk a… [Continue Reading]
