On Starter Pokemon in Pokemon GO

September 30, 2023September 17, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, starter

Starter Pokemon in Pokemon GO are kinda weird. Almost all of them are somewhat useless until they get their Community Day moves. However, the time it takes to get a Community Day move is generally quite a while. For example, Greninja was unable to get his Community Day moves for a good year or so, maybe two. And at the same time, Charmander’s evolution Charizard already has two Community Day moves. One of which is honestly kinda useless outside of PvP. However, most starter Pokemon are missing out, and even fewer manage to get their signature moves. Greninja and Blaziken… [Continue Reading]

Froakie Community Day

August 14, 2023August 13, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, froakie, greninja, pokemon go, starter

For the second month in a row, we’ve had a Water type as our Community Day Pokemon. But for August, we got a nice treat in the form of Froakie Community Day. Froakie is a starter Pokemon that evolves into the insanely popular Greninja. You know, like the Greninja in the anime. Well, not quite, we just got normal Greninja. Which we evolved from normal Froakies. Clearly, Niantic knew this would be a popular Community Day. We got both double stardust and double catch candy as the bonuses, which meant this event was very good for hardcore and casual players… [Continue Reading]

My Three Favourite Starter Pokemon

April 5, 2022March 31, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, starter

In every Pokemon game you play, you start off with, well, a Starter Pokemon to take with you and train with. In Pokemon GO, your starter Pokemon is very basic, with a static 10/10/10 IVs and at CP10. Normally those are quickly abandoned, due to being mostly useless and cosmetic. The main series games though, your starter Pokemon is normally your best buddy forever and ever, growing alongside you. Anyway, if I were forced to pick a starter for myself, it’d be one of these lot. #4 Charmander As much as I want to like Squirtle and Bulbasaur more, Charmander… [Continue Reading]

Community Day Exclusive Pokemon You Should Evolve

December Community Weekend

December 17, 2019December 15, 2019 Medic 0 Comments community day, event, pokemon go, shiny, starter

Pokemon Go decided to end community days for 2019 with a bang by repeating somewhat what they did in 2018, by having a community day weekend, bringing back all of the year’s community day Pokemon for one final send off before leaping into 2020, while also bringing back 2018’s Pokemon. So we get two things: a collection of Pokemon from 2019 and a collection of Pokemon from 2018. One of these was done really well. The other, not so much. When it comes to the implementation of the 2019 community day stuff, I couldn’t be happier. We get two days’… [Continue Reading]

The Very Sudden December Raid Event

December 8, 2019December 7, 2019 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, raid, shiny, starter

All of a sudden, not only did we suddenly get a whole weird evolution themed event, centered around Pokemon who evolve with items or in other strange ways, but we also very weirdly got a three hour raid event, on Saturday the 7th. This raid event featured not Pokemon who evolve with items, nor Pokemon who evolve in other weird ways, but… just the Kanto Starter Pokemon and their evolutions. So we had Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander (in level 1 raids), Ivysaur, Wartortle, Charmeleon (in level 2 raids), Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard (in level 4 raids) popping up on all applicable… [Continue Reading]

The Other Other Other Starter Frame

October 13, 2017October 28, 2017 Medic 0 Comments newbie, rhino, starter, warframe

I’ve talked about Excalibur, the poster child and best choice for your first Warframe. I’ve talked about Mag and how I don’t really understand how she works. I’ve gone on and on about Volt and you’re all probably sick of hearing about him. But none of these three are truly the best starter character. After you defeat Vor in the tutorial quest, you’re left to wander around. You can only really go to Venus, the path to Mars is locked off behind things on Venus and Mercury, and the moon is missing. Venus is a simple and inexplicably cold planet.… [Continue Reading]
