recent Pokémon Go events
I enjoyed the recent Pokémon Go events, both Halloween's spooky spawns and the "introducing daily bonuses" hauls. I hope that you all had fun! It seems likely that Niantic'll hold similar events again. There are rampant Thanksgiving rumors, which seems odd, as the game is global and US Thanksgiving is... US. (It'd be easy to twin the Halloween candy event at Eastertime, with the victreebel, vileplume, venomoth, and beedrill families. I haven't imagined anything good for the December holidays, not only because there's so little ice in first generation, but because... fair's fair southern hemisphere summer!)
Have you heard about the Japanese lapras event? To hopefully economically help the region harmed by the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown. (I contributed a mite to the gofundme to send TrainerTipsNick there to get a lapras and a farfetched, report back to us, and carry our good wishes to those still affected.) There's speculation that it's a try-out for introducing the legendaries.
While enjoying the events when I could, I'm also glad to have the game back to normal. There was a franticness to taking good advantage of the events in time. We adults can't play much during our workweeks, obviously, and while I really do enjoy long weekend walks listening to thoughtful news analysis podcasts or awesome Great Courses lectures, it does get dark so early at this end of the year in the northern hemisphere... and, frankly, I personally need a breather from even the most thoughtful news analysis, I think.
