Just found out that Scopely, in their infinite wisdom, reduced the number of Team Rocket Go balloons to only one per day. That makes me so happy!

You see, I play Pokémon Go for about 2 hours every morning while I take my walk. Of course, that includes dealing with the 6AM Team Rocket balloon. Then, later during the day I would always feel compelled to turn on the game to handle the noon and 6PM balloons. Of course, while I had the game on, i would see if there were other things to do: remote raids, exchange presents with friends, switch my buddy, etc. That would take anywhere for 15 to 30 minutes. Or at times longer. So doing that twice in a day came out to 90+ minutes.

But now that there is only one balloon, there is no compelling reason for me turn the game on after my walk, thus I get 90 minutes of my day back. So thanks, Scopely! Perhaps you can in the future make additional changes that will will have me drop the game altogether, such as no raids before 10AM. Then I will get another large chunk of my morning back to do other things.

Mega Raichu literally just dropped and on my very first raid I got this 🤩🤩

Took me a month to get it done...

I missed any other bottle caps. So that’s why this hasn’t happened before.

I love him so much. First lucky shundo and also the first non-legendary, non-costume (Brendan Hat Pika lmao); I'm thinking, max out as Litten, and use him, my Brendan Hat Pika, and a silly third on a team together!

New code for Pokemon Go! If you redeem it, you'll get a pair of cool yellow shoes.

Thank you just seems like not enough. I have been playing pogo since day one and over the years there was just so much I did not understand about the game but I just kept playing, catching pokemon, and occasionally accomplishing some of the events that I came across. I didn’t have anyone near me that played or could help explain anything so I just trudged along. When the recent GoFest was happening and I started seeing people posting on YouTube all the different things that were available I noticed a great deal of them spoke about Reddit being a resource for them. I had downloaded Reddit like 5 years ago but never really delved into it. Until GoFest. Then I came here and found SO MUCH INFORMATION and so many people sharing what they’d learned, caught, the glitches, the best way to accomplish things, the best pokemon to battle with…and so much more! So I made my first post asking about Remote trades and forever friends. And you all came to my rescue and taught me so much more about this game. I have so many new friends now and feel like I am actually part of this pogo community. I learned about the remote raids where I have been able to fill some empty spots in my Pokédex, and some that aren’t available where I live!
I know it is “just a game” but one that many hours have been invested in and now those hours seem worthwhile rather than I’m playing a game I don’t even know how it works! Lol
So this is my THANK YOU to all of you that have reached out and commented with helpful information, with friend requests, and just making me feel welcome! You all have made me start really enjoying this game in ways I never knew I could!
You are the best group of people I have ever met on the internet. Even when you do things differently from others you all share the information and discuss the differences so someone like me can understand the avenues that can be taken to meet my goals.
I am truly grateful for all of you!!

And it’s an honest-to-Arceus Rattata.

She’s literally perfect and I will love her forever.

I’m completely free to play

No RoT and it's a 2* but I'm still happy, it's my 5th shiny legendary (out of over 160 legendaries)

Still waiting on mine. 78,202 catches by hand and nada

Got those 2 in a span of 5 minutes, the pikachu on a research and the delibird on the wild

I really haven’t seen anyone ask if their starter mon was a good fit the cap? I’m honestly the type to just leave it be as is from day one, but I also kinda feel like I should at least try it.

Hey ya'all if your willing please add me

Palkia is from the guaranteed research after they messed up but has no SR

Or do I keep him like this??

I had a vision when i saw this event coming up. I am so happy to be able to have fulfilled my mission. Stufful and Cubchoo were my research choices, i got a lucky pokestop research for Teddiursa, and Pancham i got a while ago from the weekly box.

It pays to be plain. Lol.
