Pokémon Go Progress #7: Level 45!

After 4 long months, I finally defeated 50 GO Rocket leaders to progress me to the next level. I have nearly 4 million XP towards Level 46.

At the moment, with my spare rare candy, I’m trying to get 100+ candy in every Pokémon line. I’ve done so with all Kanto and Johto Pokémon, and am now working towards finishing off with Hoenn.

I have 24 hundos now and my missing 3* counts are now: Kanto: 6; Johto: 31; Hoenn: 18; Sinnoh: 48; Unova: 31.

Pokémon Go Progress #6: Level 44!

After 6 weeks at Level 43, I’ve finally moved onto Level 44. I’m making good progress at collecting a 3* living form dex also. I have noted all the missing Pokémon forms at 3* (excluding costumes, lucky and shadow Pokémon) for the first five gens, including those unreleased. Currently, Kanto is missing 8, Johto is missing 35 (lots of Unown), Hoenn is missing 18, Sinnoh is missing 52 (lots of Arceus, Rotom forms and some unreleased Pokémon), and Unova is missing 43. For Kalos, every form I obtained, I have in 3*. For Galar, all except Mr. Rime. It will be interesting to see how much these numbers will be reduced by the next level.

I am missing 22 from the current Pokédex, as well as 53 from the current 3 Stars filtered Pokédex.

New Pokémon Snap (Switch) Progress #2: All Maps Completed, All Research Spots Scanned and A Complete Diamond Rating Photodex (v2)!

Yesterday, I finally got a diamond rating on all 936 Pokémon Star categories. Earlier in the week, I completed all maps and scanned all research spots. Unfortunately there’s no quick way of showing you’ve achieved a full set of diamond ratings, so I’ve just screenshotted my 410th place in the world rankings for Total Photodex Score.

There are only 2 research titles for me to get now: Pokémon Lurer (which will just take a few hours of throwing apples behind me), and Influencer, which will take a lot longer probably, but won’t feel like I’m wasting so much time.

I’ve played for over 350 hours now on the game!

New Pokemon Snap (Switch) Progress #1: All (v2) LenTalk Requests Complete

234 / 234

Over a month ago, I registered all photos (1-4 stars for every Pokémon in v1) in my photodex. It looks like I didn’t make a post about it, but I will post again if/when I get diamond rating for all photos, including the Version 2 Pokémon. I’ve played nearly 300 hours now, and have been going region by region, completing the maps, LenTalk requests, and getting Diamond rating for every Pokémon, all 4 categories. I have completed Florio, Belusylva and Maricopia, including up to Ver. 2.

I decided to complete all the remaining LenTalk requests first, instead of doing everything for Voluca, Durice and Aurus. I’m not sure if I will get the maps out the way first or not, but I’ve completed them for Voluca so far. Diamond ratings for Voluca, Durice and Aurus remain—and maps for the latter two.

Pokémon Go Progess #5: Level 43!

While doing many Dialga Raids (got myself a shiny for HOME, Sword, Shield, as well as GO), I levelled up to 43. After collecting enough rare candy for evolutions that are needed for the Pokédex, I find myself now with lots of spare rare candy and not enough Stardust to level up the Pokémon I put the candy in. My Friends list is getting very full also, at nearly 360, from seeking lots of remote raids.

Pokémon GO Progress #2: Living Kanto Dex

Today, I finally got all Kanto Pokémon species to 3 stars or 4 stars—except Mew, which is 2 stars and can’t be helped. I will slowly work on the other regions of the national dex. I have about 10 Pokémon I can evolve to get register new species caught on my Pokédex, but I will instead use my rare candy for a 100% IV Landorus-T I recently caught, and focus on getting a competitive Master League team. With my competitive teams, I then hope to farm rare candy easier to not only evolve those 10 or so Pokémon for entries, but also to evolve in order to collect more gender differences and regional forms.
