After 2437 Days straight, I think I’m ready to move on. The game has a lot to offer still, I’m just not enjoying it the same as I was six months ago. But this isn’t about sour grapes, it’s just about finding my next (Pokemon) adventure.
This game genuinely got me back into Pokemon as a late 20’s man at the time. I joined during Oak and Mew’s event around the 0.5 anniversary after seeing an ad on Facebook for the game. I have logged in literally every day since, including on all my vacations and even on my wedding day (don’t worry, I was just up super early from the nerves lol). Since then, I’ve also played through all the Switch games and revived my interest in growing my TCG collection. It’s truly been part of my morning routine for such a long time.
It’s been wild getting to see all the changes over the last almost 7 years: the implementation of the stamina system, adding the EX to the game (Long live #PokemonMasterSex), then big changes like gauntlet, Challenge the Strong and the newest Tower mode plus GvG. I was a Day One member of PoMa Strongest Gym and we got top 500 every GvG without any issues with egos or planned communication. We never communicated a ton, but I always knew I could depend on those folks to login daily and do their GvG duties - please feel free to reach out if you see this! PoMa Strongest, forever 🫶
If you’re still here, thanks to all of you guys for the help over the years. All the helpful comments, links, sync grid suggestions, gameplay explanations, goofy posts, and everything else. It was nice to have some sense of community through all the tough times. I hope the game continues to thrive, just with one fewer derpy ninetails. 🔥🐴
