New Year via games

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.

Recent Pokemon Go stuff

Yesterday was Porygon Community Day and it was a success for me:

“Pick me! Pick me!”

What else have I caught recently? Well there was this unexpected shiny Raichu which was nice.

I got a ton of shiny Magicarps when their day came around, thus somewhat lessening the specialness of my original one, boo.

The pandemic has kinda dulled my Pokemon playing for obvious reasons. I still sometimes get some good ones in the house though.
