i know i talk about pokemon go a lot but like. the summer of 2016 where pokemon go was released? i’ve never seen anything like it in my life. shit was absolutely insane
i gave my phone to a stranger who jumped a fence to get a clefairy that was in a restricted area
I had a baby that summer and all the pictures we took of him for two whole months include a pokemon
A pointless update has now essentially taken away the photo mode as I knew it and replaced it with something much more complicated and annoying. Will it be back? Probably not, knowing Niantic. No more real-life Pokemon Snap for me. (Photo mode was literally the main reason I played the game.) But here’s some of my favourite Pokemon Go photos I’ve taken over the years.
The game itself tells me the anniversary was yesterday, but I don’t remember Britain getting the game until pretty late on and I have no idea of the actual day. I guess that means I can celebrate the birthday whenever! Here’s some of my favourite snaps I’ve taken over the past five years.
In a way these silly Pokemon photos double as a little photo album of places I’ve been over the past few years. Every picture has a memory attached, however faint, which I’m very grateful for. Happy birthday POGO!
I miss this game. It’s been well over a year since I played it properly. Oh well… Today was Tepig Community Day and I got five shiny ones just from the sofa.
Obviously there was nowhere to go on New Year’s Eve so I basically spent it on Animal Crossing. Awww, the little villagers threw a party.
Animal Crossing meant a lot to us this year, so I wanted to get a nice photo of me and my husband in the game as the countdown finished and the fireworks went off. So I got us in cute poses and hit the button at JUST the right moment… and the screenshot gallery was full. No photo for you. I cracked the hell up because WHAT BETTER WAY to sum up 2020 than that. Oh well, I took a photo on my phone instead, which has more sentiment in many ways I suppose.
Also Deli wasn’t there and he’s my favourite. :(
I had a quick whirl on Pokemon to get the New Year ones as well. That was more successful, in that I was able to get 2020 Slowpoke (aww) and evolve him within a couple of hours.
And a Pikachu with yet another hat!
Anyway, those were a fun distraction. Now back to the crushing terror of living in the UK under a corrupt government in the middle of a pandemic.
Niantic is continuing to host a wide variety of events and announce new features for the millions of Pokémon GO players around the world. The developer of the immensely-popular mobile game has confirmed that Galarian Ponyta and Galarian Rapidash will soon make their Pokémon GO debuts. Galarian Ponyta is indeed the “beautiful, colorful Pokémon” that […]
