Celebrate Lunar New Year in GO!

by

Woof woof! Happy year of the dog!

From now until February 17th catching Eevee, Poochyena, Growlithe, Snubbull and Electrike will grant you bonus stardust, and reports of Shiny Poochyena are starting to pour in!

In addition, Team Rocket and Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt outfits, from the original games and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon respectively, are now available for purchase – each full outfit can be bought in pieces, but costs 950 PokeCoins total. Further more, due to server issues earlier today, the Valentine’s Day event has been extended until February 16th.

Sounds like the best time to get out an GO, wear your auspicious colors, and try your luck!

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Which evil team, across all main and spin off games, has the best uniform?

  7. I decided to give a bit over $100 to the Crisis Textline through the Game Grumps stream…I wasn’t expecting I would be so generous today. Part of that donation will get me an exclusive T-shirt so that’s cool 😀
    But I also bought a few games this weekend so I REALLY should take it easy for a month…it was worth it though.

  8. You can now control the types of your favourite Pokemon, and it’s even stronger if your fave is a monotype (so if your favourite is Pikachu, you have great control over lightning, but if it’s AloChu you have weaker lightning and psychic abilities). What are your powers? Are you happy with them?

  10. Next question: you can have one animal trait, and gain its benefits. For example, a cat’s ears for hearing, a monkey tail for balance, chameleon skin for colour changing. However, it cannot replace any human organ (besides your skin, and even then it’d just augment your skin, not replace it).

  11. Haha I just taught my mom how do a raid battle in Go! Even though it was a Magikarp…

    Also I just saw Peter Rabbit and I have to say, that it was surprisingly good! Like the music was pretty good and the movie could be quite emotional at times…

  14. Congratulations , you’ve led a successful life and achieved most of your goals. You’ve managed to remain a virgin, you’ve avoided regular bathing, and there was that one time you successfully managed to fit thirty seven crayons in your left nostril. Lately though, as you’ve sat back and surveyed your life, you’ve realized that your friends are all something you’re not. You’ve come to the disturbing realization that they’re stupid and you want to be stupid as well. Fear not, you little twit, now you too can be stupid in just 21 days.

    Becoming the drooling idiot you were destined to be should be an easy task for one as skilled as you. Alas, I fear this will not be the case. As it turns out, you’re an exceptional moron so following these instructions could be difficult for you. You should probably treat the first day of your regimen as a typical day like any other. Take it slow, get up around eleven. Eat your normal breakfast of sh*t on toast. Skip your shower. Go to the gym and ogle women that will never speak to you. Touch yourself repeatedly. You know, just like any other Thursday. Around 4pm you should start to ease yourself into training. Let’s start with a simple stupidity exercise. First, extend your right hand straight in front of you, palm facing upwards. If you don’t know which direction is up, skip directly to the end of this course. Now place a brick in your outstretched hand. Any brick will work, maybe you could use the one your neighbor threw through your window? Lower your head until you are eye level with the brick. Now with as much force as you can muster, swiftly bring the brick towards yourself. Repeat as needed. As simply as that, you’ve taken your first steps towards stupidity. Your mom must be proud

    Things will become much more demanding from here on out, so I suggest you get as much rest as possible. Try sleeping in the garage with the car running. When you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to seize the day, it’s time to get right to work. Firstly, repeat the exercise from day 1 until you are satisfied you’ve got it down. You remember how that went, right? No? Good. That means you’re doing it right. Just reread the instructions above and you’ll be set. This exercise is going to become part of your daily routine so it’s probably best to have the instructions tattooed somewhere prominent on your person. This will save you time in the mornings as well as help you attract girls. No, I’m serious. Chicks dig tattoos.

    After you’ve completed your morning exercise it’s time to take your next step. Go to the bank and withdraw all of your savings. Don’t worry, you won’t be spending it, this is only an exercise. Take a taxi to the bad part of town. You know, the part of town where your uncle hangs out? Now remove all of your cash from your wallet and pin it to your shirt and pants. Loudly exclaim “Affirmative action is for assholes! Why don’t you all just get jobs you’re suited for? Look at all the money I’ve made without any help from you jerk offs!”. Louder. Again, louder. Good.

    Today you’ve woken up in the street with no clothes and bleeding profusely. Don’t worry, this is just another step in the process. Your current situation is no excuse to skip your brick exercise however. There’s a brick behind the dumpster with your blood on it; you can use that. When you’ve finished you’re going to need to get home. There’s a guy in a windowless van over there, why don’t you ask him for a ride?

    Okay, so you’re in the desert outside of town somewhere and your anus smells of axle grease. So what? A little adversity builds character. Just be happy you’ve still got all your fingers and toes. What? Well, you never really used that finger anyway. You probably won’t be able to find a brick out here for your morning exercise, so you should substitute a good sized rock. Yes, I see what was hiding under the rock, we’ll get to that later. Just proceed with the exercise as if you were holding a brick instead of a rock. Yes, the numbness to your lower extremities is normal. You’ll get used to it.

    Finished? No? I like your enthusiasm, but we really don’t have all day here. Good. Now, the thing under the rock, it’s called a scorpion. Why don’t you go ahead and pick it up. It will display it’s gratitude and affection for you by gently placing the tip of it’s tail into your flesh. Repeatedly. It’s fun to commune with nature isn’t it? I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. Your challenge for today is to find your way out of this desert. Remember, fate favors those who take action so pick a direction and start walking. Avoid the rookie mistake of following the highway as this will lead you nowhere you want to be. Falling down often is a normal part of the experience so don’t get discouraged. Just keep walking and I’ll meet you at your apartment. No, I’m not coming with you, this a journey you’ll have to take on your own

    What the, you’re back! Well of course you are, I never had a doubt. You were picked up by a state trooper? Well, technically that’s not allowed. I’m afraid you’re going to have to repeat the exercise, but we’ll worry about that next week. I hope you don’t mind that I threw some laundry in while I was waiting for you. Your posters? Oh, they were stolen, but never mind that. I think you’re forgetting your brick exercise aren’t you? Nice, good form, but today let’s try it with the other hand shall we? Excellent.

    You’re really coming along, and at a much faster rate than I’d expected. I think today we’re going to skip right ahead to an exercise I call “Playing in Traffic”. Conveniently when you were picking out apartments you chose one located on the interstate. Interesting choice, I would have probably went in another direction, but that’s neither here nor there. Let’s go down to your front yard and begin. You’re going to need this blindfold. There, that’s not too tight is it? Good. Now, the object of this exercise is to successfully make it across the interstate and back as many times as you can. This will be a timed exercise, so don’t dawdle. On your mark, get set, GO!

  22. How to be a worthless, self-hating, suicidal, pessimistic nothing:

    3. Continue being me until oblivion finally reaches you.
