@Anti-Matter watch the teenage mutant ninja turtles my dude. You'll be enlightened!

Happy Thanksgiving all! I hope that you and yours are all safe and healthy, and don't eat TOO much now.

@Eel No prob! Shame that your Azelf ran away. And I think you got in on the last raid I participated in, so no worries about missing further invites.

@Heavyarms55 Hey, no problem. Glad you could join in and caught both Azelf! I netted a few rare candies, but unfortunately the game seems to love dumping a ton of hyper potions I don't need into my lap lol. I usually trash the rest after healing my Pokemon. I prefer to keep max potions around.

@NintendoByNature Did your bird enjoy being the main attraction? Was he stuffed like everyone else?

@Tyranexx he did his job today. Now I will nap and dream of what his relatives will be like next year

@Tyranexx Oh yeah. I know that feeling. I have over 100 people on my list I never need more potions. Just send and open. A bunch of gifts and I am good.

Sometimes raid rewards are real lopsided. It can be very annoying.

I already said Happy Thanksgiving, but now I need to say this...

Happy Turkey Day.

I didn't know there were smart power strips you can connect to Wi-Fi. Now I know.

@NintendoByNature
rip poor mislead turkey

@NintendoByNature Ah yes, the good ol' turkey coma. Successfully avoided that aftereffect this year, but it was rough!

@Heavyarms55 Between gifting and stop spins (though the latter depends on how many I visit in a given day), I'm rarely if ever hurting for potions. I've nearly ran out of revives more than once however.

I did manage to land a shiny Teddiursa earlier! It was the guaranteed first spawn of the day too. I think there was an event where a shiny Teddiursa was guaranteed a few months ago, but I missed out on it.

I'm watching Dragon Quest Heroes 1 PS4 from Youtube, to get engaged with the gameplay as i have ever played Action RPG game like that from Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Kingdom Hearts.

@Tyranexx Oh very nice! If there was an event for teddy I missed it too. Before gifting I had serious trouble having enough revives and potions. I almost started using throwaway Pokemon on gyms. I am glad they made them easier to get. A huge part of what I like about PoGo is putting my shinys on gyms and seeing other people's shinys.

gotcha.

its not below the waist by any means, but it dont matter.

It's dangerous to go alone!
Take this.

explosive shoes are all fun and games until one detonates by accident

@ogo79 Hey, man. What's up with your picture posting skills? All I see is a placeholder that says "Untitled"...

@Eel
I like this better.

You mean I'm not supposed to use my TNT Sneakers for batting practice?....

....What about soccer?

@Heavyarms55 So healing items used to be harder to come by? The only items I had issues getting enough of towards the start of my AR Pokemon career were Pokeballs. The area where I initially started playing was on a trail system while exercising, and stops out there were few and far between. They've added some markers and signs since, so I might get back out there soon and submit a few stops now that players level 38 and up can do so.

Not gonna lie, I love putting up my shinies in gyms.

Soccer is fine as long as you tie the shoelaces properly.

@Eel OHHHH so that's what I was doing wrong

@Tyranexx Oh goodness yes. Healing items used to be much harder to come by! I used to regularly see gyms full of obvious throwaway Pokemon because of it. That was in the earlier days when they were still trying to balance item rarity and stuff.

@Heavyarms55 Oof. I can only imagine how much of a pain that was. Hearing stories like that, I'm glad in hindsight that I wasn't able to jump on the PoGo bandwagon when it first launched. They weren't too bothered about porting it to Windows Phone lol.

I rarely place throwaways unless it's an out-of-the-way gym with an obvious low turnover rate. I think my standing record is currently 38 days...and counting. Previous one was 30 days. Shame, because I kinda want my shiny Gorebyss back now lol.
