As we all know Niantic has been hard at work on making Pokémon GO better than ever, and now that the servers are stable they can start focusing on new features – Introducing Buddy Pokémon!
As revealed in a post on their official website, each trainer can pick one Pokémon to become their buddy, which gives you new in-game experiences and rewards – such as that specific ‘mons Candy. They will appear alongside you trainer in the profile screen (and technically in the overworld as well), and can be changed whenever and wherever. No official day on when this update will go live, but Niantic promises that it’ll be “just around the corner.”
So who are you going to choose as your buddy Pokémon? And what other features do you want to see in the app?

I really like HGSS, but I feel like grinding is slow af in these games, its really starting to annoy me lol.
Yeah, that’s an issue of the older games. People complain about how easy they are, but are also quick to forget that the older games were largely harder due to the fact that you had to grind a lot in them.
Yeah I’m not a fan when people attribute “hardness” to having to grind….it’s not more challenging in the way that it makes you think or have to solve a puzzle it’s just more annoying…..It doesn’t better you in anyway so it just sucks lol
that’s why I feel gen 2 was the weakest, its by far the biggest grind. everything is such low level, I’m pretty sure you cant even find a wild pokemon above level 35 until mt silver. I like them don’t get me wrong I love all the pokemon games but these just happen to be my least favorites.
I have 5 badges but my highest Pokemon are lv30 lol and its pointless to challenge Jasmine now.
another thing that bugged me is gym leaders in that game (and e4 until you get to kanto) they are all such low level. I mean, jasmine has a lv. 35 steelix, but pryce has a lv. 35 piloswine, so what difference is there between them for difficulty?
My starter is only lv27 ffs
I feel the same, when I was about to fight the Elite 4 I had to grind up 7-10 levels with every Pokemon, and it was annoying.
Get an action replay. It makes it way more enjoyable because you can multiply your xp when you’re at the point where you have to grind
Theres no stores around here that sell DS ARs, only 3DS versions.
Amazon is your friend

Babies woke up, so had to end today’s part of the nuzlocke a little earlier than anticipated, but ended today with my chespin, pineapple, just barely evolvong, and with a litLeo named lady, butterfree named tiny, and Ledyba named punch-o. Lost a couple team members catching litleo, but it was worth it..on to lumiouse!
Still not playing until they release Johto Pokemon.
