Not gonna lie, there are SO MANY GLITCHES. At least they’re visual glitches, because I personally adore the game play. However, it is kind of distracting to have hills disappear as I’m rolling around the landscape. Although I appreciate the trainer battles now being optional, I’m so over being charged at by Rufflets and having the battle take longer than the XP points are worth.

Overall, I can’t wait to finish the storyline. I still have about a month left in the semester so I can’t spend ALL of my time on the game yet, but I cannot wait until finals are over!

I really had so much fun building it and getting into the CSS and messing around with it. I made a more detailed post on my professional blog here, but I just wanted to update this one as well.

Class was over Zoom today and there were only two of us who showed up to ask questions. The other person there asked about the project due today, got a couple answers and dipped. I asked one question about the project due today, but then asked more about the website. The professor helped me find my headings and I snapped a pic of the screen so I could find it and fix it later. I told him I was having fun with the CSS and he told me that there’s money in coding in any form, and recommended Python to me.

I started Automate the Boring Stuff last semester, but decided to put it on pause when I found out I’ll need to have a basis in C# for my Business Application classes in the fall. Out of the languages I’ve started learning, I think Python is my favorite just because it doesn’t end every line with a semicolon.

I did a tarot reading for myself on the last full moon, and the cards told me to keep doing what I’m good at. This website project just reminded me that I’m good at learning code and I just need to keep practicing.

My husband, Kyle, was very excited about it and bought the passes for both of us. I was not prepared for the 8 hour walk on Saturday.

Pokémon

My favorite shiny from the event was my Galarian Weezing, and I think it was one of the harder ones to get. I had almost gone home right before getting it from my incense. I’m also happy about the extra Trubbish, since I can trade it for the extra shiny Buizel that my husband caught. We also got enough Pidoves between the two of us to have complete shiny families with both male and female Unfezants.

In the screenshot below, the blue background ones are from yesterday (Sunday), everything before that was from Saturday except the Aron.

Overall, I am pleased with the experience. We both got duplicate shinies right off the bat (stupid Trapinch), but I didn’t get another one until the Tundra hour, a little over two hours in. The first city hour really kicked off the shinies for both of us, but the afternoon was more productive in general.

Kyle had made a whole spreadsheet beforehand with the lists of the shinies we needed so that way we could focus our efforts. We did both catch a few of the regionals (Tropius and Torkoal), but overall we didn’t tap on anything that didn’t have a shiny that we didn’t already have. When Kyle was checking the Reddit after the fact on Saturday, we seemed to be on the higher end of the shiny count, which had happened for us for GoFest 2021 as well.

Not gonna lie, Shaymin is just the cutest too. I loved the catch screen, I wish I would have taken a screenshot. The last few events that gave you a special catch (like Mew and Celebi) tended to force you to use the AR mode to catch the Pokémon. Instead, Shaymin walked into a beautiful painted background for the catch.

Although we didn’t get any shinies from the free raid passes on Sunday, getting the extra incense and wild shinies was still worth it.

Even though I complained about my feet more than I should have, I ended up having a good time. Next year, I plan to train a little more beforehand!

Comment with your experience and how many shinies you got!

I found this plugin and installed it to this WordPress instance. Next, I added it to my footer next to my Spotify widget by using the short code (and only the short code) as per the instructions. I did have to use the html code block in the widget editor, and edit as html to get it to work there.

Heads up, I’m a millennial.

Right now, in the early summer of 2022, I’m really into disc golf, riding my bike, and learning about anarchy and communism.

However, I’m always subject to change and will probably be into something else by next month, if not next week.

Other things I’m into:

• My husband, Kyle
• Working on my Information Systems degree
• Tarot
• Magic the Gathering (I’m really bad at it)
• Sewing, crochet, knitting
• Fidget toys
• Reading
• Pokémon Go

Ultimately, this blog is intended to be a record of who I am and what I’m learning and doing with my life. This is my space and I’m not going to go hardcore with the SEO on it. Depending on how it goes, I might even stick a password on it or parts of this blog.

At this moment, this is a place for me to shout into the void, and I’m alright with that.

Leave me a comment if you want!
