Everybody knows that being a 911 operator is a stressful job, and sometimes they hear things on the other line that stick with them for quite some time. I’m glad the men and women who man these phones do what they do. Because I know I couldn’t deal with stories like this from AskReddit. 17. “He...

Reddit users were asked a very simple question, “What do you wish was more socially accepted? [serious] ” The responses might surprise you. 1.

Okay trainers! We’re about to get some new Gen 2 Pokémon just in time for the holidays, and they’re some of the cutest ones we could have hoped to see. Pichu and Togepi will start hatching from eggs starting today, as well as other Pokémon from Gen 2! Here’s the announcement from Niantic earlier today…...

Do you remember this racist meme? I don’t either, but the story behind it is as riveting as it is horrible. Taiwanese model Heidi Yeh says she had a pretty solid career going for two years, modeling for big name companies like Sony and landing some great exposure. Here she is in a floor display....

This Thursday could be VERY interesting for Pokémon GO players. It has been rumored that Starbucks was going to be launching a promotion on December 7th that could happen in conjunction with Niantic releasing all Generation 2 Pokémon. However, that original note had some misspellings of the name Pokémon (Pokeman instead) and didn’t look very legit....

After the HUGE new CP rebalance that happened before Thanksgiving, the best attackers in Pokémon GO changed considerably. Luckily for everybody, Nick at Trainer Tips crunched the numbers and put together an amazing list for each type. First, I’ll share his video so you can watch all of his explanations. There are actually more Pokémon he...

If you love watching Pokémon GO videos on YouTube, you know the channel MoreAliA. This guy is an absolute gaming nut, and he LOVES all things Pokémon. He even has a dog named Eevee. Like I said, pretty obsessed. (For real though, that’s a cute dog.) His channel is so popular, Nintendo sent him Pokémon Sun...

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, there’s been A TON of speculation about a possible event from pretty weak sources, but not a peep from Niantic about an event. This is likely for several reasons. 1. Too Many Events In A Short Period Of Time Between the Halloween event, the Daily Bonuses roll out, and a region-specific Lapras...

If you’ve ever collected and hatched a group of nine 10KM eggs before, it’s a REALLY exciting feeling. I’ve done it once, and I felt such a strange sense of accomplishment. Yes, Pokémon GO is only a game, but I was genuinely surprised I had the patience to wait until I got 9 of the rarest egg type. And I...
