Whelp. City Safari: Boston was washed out, and the Northeastern US paid the price. The Nor’easter that took out the event was no joke, with coastal flooding, 50 mph winds, and insane amounts of rainfall. With the internet being upset that Scopely Explore doesn’t control the weather, at least Adam was able to enjoy his Friday night in Boston at Fenway Park. Unfortunately, he didn’t leave with any Shiny Pikachu with the Fenway Background.
Last weekend also had Phantump Catch Mastery, which seemed to yield way less Shiny Phantump than any other event Pokémon. Those around the world that did take part in a City Safari, were not so happy that 50% of their Research was given to the Phantump event. The rest of us made the most of the event and have been enjoying our Applin picking. With the Team GO Rocket takeover kicking off on Friday, we hope to get our fill of Balloons and we demand that you do all of them!
There are plenty of events on the calendar over the next few weeks including Space Week, the Fall Marathon Buddy Trek, and Sandile Hatch Day. After the time of this recording, we learned that the City Safari: Boston has been made into a global event on October 24th and 25th! While the Stamp Rally is cancelled, there are still Boston Exclusive Pokéstops that will award encounters with Explorer Eevee. This month was stacked before that news, now it is just wild. We will also have Max Battle Day overlapping that Saturday, which could be better received as a global event.
Our Professor’s Principle this week is about knowing what comes first. Priorities make the balance between having the most fun playing the game and getting what you want out of it a tough sell. Does how you wish you were playing the game align with how you actually play the game? In life, it makes sense to understand how your priorities can help shape your values, and the need to understand that when you prioritize something, it means that you are deprioritizing something else.
