The Road to Sinnoh was Paved with Mistakes

For the last four years, we’ve had a region-based event in February, with a large tour at the end of the month. The first year featured the Kanto Tour, which released every Pokemon in Generation 1 as a shiny, including shiny Mew in a special paid-for masterwork research. This continued for Johto and Hoenn, and we just had one for Sinnoh. Normally, leading up to the big tour, you get a “road to X” event, which is supposed to get you into the swing of things and bring back some Pokemon from the region as a teaser for the big… [Continue Reading]

The Sinnoh Tour Was Okay

So the Sinnoh Tour is here and it’s basically the same both days. But, honestly, they tried to cram a lot in and kinda only did it okay. Thankfully, there were no collection challenges, but there was a desperate attempt to have both Sinnoh and Hisui in equal amounts, which kinda sucks because there are way more Sinnoh Pokemon than there are Hisui Pokemon, but at the same time, the only good raids were during the Hisui hours. The spawns in particular varied wildly – one hour consisted of crap like Bidoof and Shellos, while another hour contained awesome stuff… [Continue Reading]

The Johto Event Has Been the Best of These Region-based Pokemon GO Events

The last few weeks, we’ve been having run-up events in Pokemon GO. There’s going to be a massive Kanto event in February, and before then, we’ve been celebrating the other regions. These events though have been very hit and miss. Thankfully, the Johto event has probably been the kindest of them all. These events have all been very similar, You have a bunch of Pokemon you need to collect, as well as a new shiny and featured raids and spawns. But these events have not been particularly equal. The Sinnoh and Unova Events were mediocre at best. We’ve been going… [Continue Reading]

I am Loving these Throwback Challenges in Pokemon Go

Over the last few weeks, we’ve had a throwback event. The event has been split into parts, one for each of the current regions of Pokemon in Pokemon Go. We started with Kanto and, at the time of writing, are in the Sinnoh week. This will be followed by a Unova-based event. And, honestly, these events have been really fun! Special Tasks for each Region. Every region has a series of tasks that rewards a Legendary Pokemon at the end. Kanto gave us a Mewtwo with the exclusive move Psy Strike. Johto rewarded us with Ho-Oh and Earthquake. Hoenn’s task… [Continue Reading]

Poor Little Sinnoh Event

There’s currently an event in Pokemon Go right now, a three day event featuring Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, i.e. generation 4. But it’s a very small event, somewhat slipped in over a weekend, in the middle of a month that’s absolutely packed with a huge number of rather random events, everything from votes for a Community Day, a World Pokemon Day event and random mystery events as well, not to mention your standard Valentines Day event because of course there has to be a Valentines Day event. So this Sinnoh event is a thing and it’s… kinda small and… [Continue Reading]
