Eventually, this was going to have to be the case. Except for new entrants, participating in #PokemonGo has been waning. This results in a lack of people joining these events requiring in-person participation, which serves to further limit interest in participation. From the corporate side, such raids/battles were reducing income. In effect, the game was rewarding the casuals and punishing the hardcore.
Happy May! Special events this month are the League Cup on the 10 and Destined Rivals prerelease on the 17 for #PokemonTCG Store Championship for #Lorcana on the 11 PaizoCon RPGs on the 23 #PokemonScarletAndViolet & #PokemonGo challenges and cups on the 25 #Altered & #FLeshAndBlood on the 30 and 31
A couple of goals achieved this year:
1. Stopped buying every timed research ticket in #PokémonGO.
2. While I still care—to my immense engrumblement—about #Duolingo streaks, I no longer care about maintaining a top-3 spot in the leagues.
Baby steps.
Apparently I haven't been using enough hashtags in my posts here, so i'm here to test something!
If anyone has an interest in the early days of #Pokemon from the late #90s and early #2000s please consider subscribing to my weekly newsletter, where I share interviews, memories, collections, opinion pieces, and the latest Pokémon news!

1. "Tapas" for dinner. We found bacon dates 22 years ago at a remote restaurant in Canary island. It has never left our short list of favourites since. Also salt baked potatoes and a _small_ manchego (they are wildly expensive here, I miss my spanish food store's cheese department
). And a few more plates.
2. I got some time in the polytunnel, and there was a living lily sprout in one of the pots that looked dead. New soil now.
3. The #PokemonGo #Entei raid was fun.
"Delibird dropped 1 Pinap berry." What?? We get DROPS now??
I wrote about deleting Pokemon Go and leaving Twitter. I have been sitting on this post idea for a while and feel like I have much more to say, but I ended up just wanting to get it out #PokemonGo
It actually helps with getting my daily steps in! Add me for daily gifts 
And the first to send me their referral code, will get the perks that go with it too - I have 11 hours left to enter one. Image description in #AltText #Pokemon #PokemonGO
I have reached the point where I'm so bored by Pokémon Go that I just forgot it. Android automatically installed it onto my new phone but I never opened it since then. I do, however, have a massive need to go outside more but I hate just walking around on my own and this is a bad area for cycling. So... does anyone still play Ingress? Might try that next.

With the news that the Applin line is coming to #PokemonGO in a few weeks, I thought I'd share a #watercolours #painting I did a couple of years ago of my favourite #Pokemon, Appletun. Because how can anyone not love this chonky little apple pie.
Just removed #pokemongo from my phone. Been a player since Day 1, but the new ownership might be an issue.
Enough with the Burmies!!! #PokémonGO
It took 3+ years of work and waiting... But our Little Free Library is finally a Pokestop! 
Tangentially related, I also miss walking and playing Pokemon go with friends. Once in a while I can convince my partners to play with me, but basically none of my other friends play anymore.

Not fair that Pokémon Go Plus + devices are out of print and I had to pay scalper prices for a new one. >_>

Ha! It's taken me long enough to figure it out! Every day, my husband takes the dogs for a walk. I just gave him my phone with Pokemon Go up and running, and my daily incense turned on. He's walking for me, and he's carrying my auto-catcher! My mobility issues are frustrating as hell. Maybe he'll catch a couple of rare pokemon for me. #PokemonGo
