This year I had a very difficult time at university, and all I can say is Pokémon Go provided the perfect distraction from my (student) life.
I was super excited to play more in the summer because finally there was some decent weather! I live in the Netherlands so good weather is truly a blessing.
Thus, my adventure started on July 22, the day of the infamous Chicago PokéFest, a friend and I went to a park nearby to catch Pokémon. There were lures everywhere people playing, some people wondering why the hell there were so many people around. Wasn't Pokémon Go the hype of last year? people are still playing?
For which my answer is "It's gotta catch 'em all! not some" kudos to tumble for the quote!.
However truthfully, as someone who wasn't at the fest, it wasn't really exciting. I had hoped they would increase rare spawns around the world or something extra so that we (the people not at the fest) would feel more included in a way. Also catching as many Pokémon in 30 min? was actually nothing super excited to tell you the truth.
However, as the fest was a hot mess we got all the rewards, the double candies, reduced time on hatching and double experience was amazing! Hope they bring that back from time to time.
And then came the Legendary Birds and Lugia!!!
Best thing ever! Articuno is my FAVORITE Pokémon, so you can clearly guess which team I picked! #TeamMysitc.
However, Lugia was the first Legendary I battled and caught! I was so nervous, my hands were sweating (I'm too invested in this game). I saw the Lugia nearby my house at a restaurant and I "power walked" over. There were tons of people walking over, biking, on their scooter, in cars it was a wild time. And of course, you had the people wondering what the hell was going on. But, I got in a group, we battled, we won and then came the actual challenge catching the legendary. I was very nervous, a guy nearby kept saying "I'm throwing excellent but nothing" at the end he didn't catch it, and there I was throwing crap and I got it! (felt bad for the guy, I hope he got one later on!). After that though struggles! I've battled 11 and caught 3.
*Did you know Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres is one, two, three in Spanish (uno, dos, tres)? #TumblrFacts
Although raiding is a lot of fun it has been difficult...
#1 Gathering/Having enough people to raid, my city uses Whatsapp groups however we are trying to move over to Telegram (there's this Raid bot that makes it easier to organize raids, although I haven't fully figured it out yet). However, I think it has potential, only not a lot of people have telegram or want to download it just for Pokémon Go.
#2 Catching the Pokémon. I still think this is pure luck. I've caught legendaries with an Excellent throw and a golden ras, and I've also caught legendaries with a pinap berry and a bad throw. So truly, who knows?
I hope you all got your legendaries! If not there still time, until August 31st to be exact.
Let me know how you did catching legendaries? and if you're also feeling the Pokémon burn out? Also, how do you organize raids in your area?
Hope you have an awesome day! Be Nice ;)
