Huge shoutout to Lane for covering for Adam this week!
We kick things off with a recap of the last week of gameplay, including the Fall Marathon, Sandile Hatch Day, and the Minior Showers! The Fall Marathon was well received by the community for a few different reasons. The release of Bramblin was a lot of fun, and had the perfect encounter rate from Incense that kept us out there playing. This paired perfectly with the task of walking 42 kilometers to fulfil the actual marathon (26.2 miles) part of the event. Leading right into Sandile Hatch Day, the community put some distance under their feet this week.
The Minior Showers brought some excitement and immersion to the game, although it was clouded a bit by a Research debacle. With some lucky Trainers getting rewarded with 1 million Stardust, the community took issue with the release. It is very difficult to get surprised in this game, and when we do, it seems that many in the community want to be surprised in the same way. We share our takes on it, with Lane bringing up a great point that the Stardust is simply a consumable that can be earned by gameplay, and doesn’t need RNG to be delivered. In any case, it has once again proven that it is impossible to satisfy the entire Pokémon GO Community at the same time.
There is plenty of gameplay on the calendar with the Dynamax Lake Guardians coming regionally this weekend. GO Hub put together three fantastic guides making it very easy to put together two Battle Parties that can be used between the three bosses. Our Halloween events also kick off next week, leading right into Chandelure Super Mega Raid Day. There is always something to do week after week, and new Bosses are a great way to keep people motivated.
We quickly blast through the November Content Update before having a casual conversation about the State of the Game, and how the PGO and TCG Communities differ. There is an interesting juxtaposition of how the online PGO community isn’t an accurate representation of the IRL Community, whereas with the TCG, we see a more consistent vibe between on and offline communities.
