So . . . What happens when you transfer a Pokemon in Pokemon Go?
They turn into candy!!
Ha ha ha haaaaaa . . . -_-;;
In all seriousness the Betty Crocker Pokemon fruit snacks are pretty tasty.
And I find the idea of Pokemon turning into candy really disturbing.
It's morbid!
What are we teaching our kids?
In other news I FINALLY caught a Pikachu wearing Ash Ketchum's hat. Today's the last day, I believe, to find him. Honestly, I wasn't really trying. When I failed to catch Pikachu wearing a birthday hat several months ago I became discouraged. The little guy ran away! Thankfully this one didn't. My life isn't all the more fulfilled, but I am a little more amused. That's important, right?
Today, for the first time, I defended a gym and left a Pokémon. A CP 1339 Arcanine that I lovingly named Heero, which is short for Heero Yuy, because he's a great character that fits the spirit of Team Valor well.
Of course now as I write this at 9:48 PM, an hour after I placed Heero, the gym was regained by Team Mystic. And no, I'm not going out to retake it. I'm watching a delightful episode of Road To Avonlea and I'm really quite content.
But for the last week or so I've been looking at the stats of one gym to the next, seeing what Pokémon were placed there and their accompanied CP. There's also something else I've noticed, all the Pokémon bare their original Pokémon names. When I placed Heero his name shown right next to him, and it was a really fun sight.
I've been having fun naming my Pokémon. Today I got a Jolteon that I named Tesla and an Electabuzz that I named Faraday.
And last week I got a CP 666 Ponyta I named Demon's Mare.
And for the record I caught this Ponyta at a 666 CP. Heh, had a good laugh over it, so I'm not evolving or increasing its power. I wonder if I left him at a gym if anyone would freak out a little ;0)
That's what the new Smartphone game, for Android and iPhone, will be like.
Pokemon GO!
And a handy trailer was just unveiled in all its epicness.
You wear this watch like device that vibrates when you get near a Pokemon, and then you catch it, and are able to battle Pokemon with other players. Sounds cool. I'm curious to see how it'll actually work.
The game will be free with in-app purchases--you know what that means--and the price for the watch like device hasn't been announced.
I guess this will be a good way to get people moving about while gaming, instead of sitting in front of a computer, T.V., handheld. That aspect will be fun.
Note 1: I think it's funny that the commercial shows adults in their 20's and 30's, probably because we can afford stuff now, and grew up with Pokemon. (Though I was in late High School when it became super popular. My siblings lived through the school hype, and I watched the show with them, not really playing the game.) Still, adults getting excited over Pokemon.
Confession: I'm excited.
Note 2: Those cards pictured at top of this blog post are mine. No, I never actually learned how to play, I just bought the cards with best of intentions and never got around to it.
I still need to play Alpha Sapphire on my 3DS . . .
Note 3: Can you believe they've been making Pokemon games for 20 years?
