Event Info
July 8th - 18th - Swarm: Who Let The Dogs Out
No, seriously, who did? For a full week and a half, Johto and Kanto are inundated with dog Pokemon of all types, shapes, and sizes. There's two Houndour rummaging through your trash bin. Rockruff are barking and chasing each other all over the place, smacking into people's legs and generally being anuisance. A Herdier chased a flock of 50 Mareep into Goldenrod City and knocked out the power grid - hope you can survive without air conditioning! And if you thought one motivated Yamper trying to herd you and your Pokemon was bad enough... how do you feel about a pack of 20?
For three days, there's an unusual concentration of Pokemon stereotypically associated with Team Rocket: Koffings and Wheezings, Grimers and Muks, Ekans and Arboks, Zubats and Golbats, Rattatas and Ratticates... If you're especially unlucky, you might even run into something nastier: there's at least a few Victreebel who determinedly try to latch on to the head of any and all passerby, and some dangerous high-level Nidoqueens and Nidokings running about, acting territorial! Did a Rocket breeding facility have a jailbreak, maybe?
Weather Info
Hot and sunny, great beach weather!
The night... was moist. Seriously, the air is soup, and there is very little reprieve. Hot summer days and the occasional thunderclouds, but no break in sight. This all comes to an unfortunate head when a rogue Herdier wrangles a flock of Mareep into Goldenrod City and their collective static shorts the power grid for a day. Looks like we'll have to sweat this one out.
RAIN!! Temp and humidity finally caves a few degrees, and the breaks in cloud cover are a wonderful reprieve.
Scattered showers and patches of heavy thunderstorms pepper the last days of July.
FEBRUARY 2018
Have you ever caught your Pokemon digging a hole in the garden or lifting shiny trinkets from the Pokemon, only for it to turn those Baby Doll Eyes on you and gosh darnit, you can't be mad at them anymore? Ever had that happen with a person? Ever had that happen with the big, scary, really not that cute Blackbelt who you just caught smoking in a No Smoking zone? Today, even the gnarliest individual will have those moments that make everyone around them give them the benefit of the doubt, because gosh darnit, they never noticed how adorable you were before!
Ahh, Valentine's Day. A nice holiday to buy chocolate for your special someone or your buddies. Some people (or in this case, Pokemon) get really into the spirit of things... in this case, an innocent tourist's not-so-innocent Decidueye, who figured out how to "curse" his ghostly arrows with Attract and is about to go hog-freaking-wild at a candy giveaway. More details to come!
Just when you thought the weirdness was over, two days after everybody was getting arrows in the back, it's another Friday. At first nothing seems out of the ordinary until you walk down to the Pokemart to get some chips, slip on a puddle of slime someone's Grimer left in the doorway, and your PokeGear goes flying out of your hand. DISASTER! ... Or not! You manage to catch it, one-handed, and right at that moment a really sick guitar riff plays on the radio. Everyone around you is Charmed. For the whole day, you will be smooth as heck.
Time to think back to the one you started it all with! From grannies reminiscing about their beloved Lillipups back in the day, to families celebrating by giving their kid their very first Pokemon, it's time to show your starter Pokemon how much you love them. Lavish some extra attention on them today and tell the whole world how great they are!
