In the ever-evolving world of Pokémon Go, players continually seek new challenges and occasionally stumble upon unexpected surprises. Two recent tales from the Pokémon Go community showcase the determination and humor of its players.
Unprecedented Pokedex Challenge Completion in Just 10 Months Pokemon Go
Pokemon Go is known for its various challenges, but some are so formidable that only a few dare to undertake them. Recently, a player astonished the community by achieving an incredible feat in just ten months – completing the Vivillion collection with all patterns and gender variations.
Vivillion is notorious for its regional patterns, making it challenging to catch them all. However, this dedicated trainer went even further by including every member of the Scatterbug line, resulting in a remarkable collection of Pokémon.
Reddit user RealCasually shared their achievement, noting, “Two perfect Scatterbugs (both Archipelago Males) was icing on the cake! I’m so giddy right now!” Fellow Pokémon Go players were quick to react, with one exclaiming, “You’re wild,” and another marvelling at the diversity in playstyles within the community.
Some expressed uncertainty about Vivillion’s gender differences, prompting discussion. While the official Pokémon databases confirm that Vivillion has no gender differences, RealCasually’s achievement demonstrates the incredible dedication and persistence players can display when pursuing their goals.
Squirtle in a “Minecraft Costume” Glitch Leaves Players Amused
In the world of Pokémon Go, glitches and bugs are not uncommon, often sparking laughter rather than frustration. One such amusing glitch recently captured the attention of the Pokémon Go community when a player encountered a Squirtle that appeared to be wearing a peculiar “Minecraft costume.”
User Pabs1022r shared their encounter on Reddit, showcasing a distorted Squirtle and a Pokéball that resembled a white and red square, quite a departure from the usual spherical shape. The player humorously blamed their college Wi-Fi for this unexpected twist.
The glitch garnered witty responses from fellow players, with some suggesting that the player had stumbled upon a “Minecraft costume Squirtle” rather than a random error. Others playfully questioned whether this was a crossover between Pokémon Go and Minecraft.
However, some veterans of the Pokémon franchise drew parallels to the infamous “missingno” glitch from Pokémon Red and Blue. In the early days of the series, players could encounter this peculiar, blocky Pokémon due to certain glitches.
These instances remind us that not all bugs and glitches in Pokémon Go are negative. Some bring humor, surprise, and a sense of camaraderie to the vibrant community of trainers.
In a world where players are constantly striving to catch ’em all and complete remarkable challenges, these stories serve as a testament to the creativity and resilience of Pokémon Go enthusiasts. Whether it’s completing an absurd Pokedex challenge or encountering a Squirtle in a “Minecraft costume,” the Pokémon Go community continues to find joy and adventure in the game’s unexpected moments.
