- Caught the Superb Owl
Props to Niantic for both the timing on the raid day and for letting the players connect the dots themselves.
- Pokemon Pumpkin Parade
We went with a Pokemon theme again for this year’s Jack-O’Lanterns.
- Meloetta is Ready for Rehearsal
All set!
- Eevee for Vendetta
Yeah, I’m sure it’s been done before.
- Be Like Spark
Spark is considerate enough to wear a face mask per pandemic recommendations. Unlike Jessie and James. You know they’ll only wear masks for disguises.
- Hark! A Spark! Standing in the Park!
It’s Pokemon Go Fest this weekend, and with a global pandemic going on, the normally travel-based event has gone virtual, with in-game events both free and paid. And, amusingly, downloadable papercrafts and stand-ups to print out. The kiddo wanted to make a stand-up of Spark, the leader of Team Instinct. And we had the cardboard […]
- Pokemon in the Restaurant Business
I’ve been meaning to post this Kangaskhan at Gengis Khan Mongolian barbecue since… September? I forget exactly. Yeah, it’s a mall food court, so it’s definitely the Before Times. And it looks like the older Pokemon Go camera mode. As for the Wynaut at ‘Y’ Not, that was a little more recent, on the way […]
- Pokemon at the Park
Sneasel is disappointed that the museum is closed. Turtwig has found a new friend. (I had such a hard time trying to get it to face the right direction, which is why it’s still a little bit off. At least I didn’t need to worry about the real turtle wandering away while I set up […]
- Social Distancing Piplup
Sorry, there’s no exception in the rules for Pokemon.
- Wandering Off…
- Ghost Pokéstops
I need to start collecting screenshots of ghost Pokéstops in Pokémon Go. Not ghost-type nests, but the stops that highlight something that isn’t there anymore. In my area there are several murals that have been painted over, fountains that have been converted to planters, a park pond that’s become a splash pad, a sculpture in […]
- SnorLAX
The kid watched the Snorlax episode of the original Pokémon cartoon around the same time I managed to catch one in Pokémon Go, and we had a conversation about text-to-speech on GPS navigation getting tripped up and telling me to take an exit “toward Lax Airport.” Oh, and something I didn’t mention when I posted […]
- Pokemon Pumpkins
Patterns found online and carved by the mom-and-son team.
- Um, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind…
- iNaturalist is like Pokemon Go for real animals
I’ve joked about how iNaturalist is like Pokemon Go for real animals. Well, since I started playing the game, I’ve been combining walks for both. And on yesterday’s hike in the local botanical gardens, I took some photos with a few Pokemon in their, um, natural habitats? (Still not sure why I found so many […]
- Targeting Pokémon
I went to Target this morning and found that someone had painted one of their signature red ball traffic barriers as a Pokéball. At first I figured it was a local thing, but I ended up having to make a second run, hit a different Target, and found that they’d done the same thing. I […]
- Comic-Con 2008 Photos are Up!
Here they are: Comic-Con 2008 Photos. I’ve only got the first page or so labeled for now, but the photos should finish uploading by the time I post this. I’ll fill in the captions and titles over the next few days. More SDCC 2008 posts.
- Only in San Diego? Volume 2 Part 2
Amusing sights from Comic-Con and around town: faith insurance, Xena’s coffee, the Pikachu bug, and more, including…the pastrami love burger?
