[Quiet Man Cometh]

This is all too much for me at the moment, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to actually lean.

Tried to get an espeon recently and failed. Walked and got my two candies, but apparently the pokemon needs to be your active buddy when you evolve it and I swapped out just before evolving. I have enough to evolve again so I'll give it another shot. At least I did get an improved flareon.

I always find myself having a bit of debate when it comes to which buddy to walk with. I pretty much need to walk for my fire pokemon candy as they're so rare for me. I'm walking with my cindaquill to get what I need to evolve him one stage. But, I also want to start that eevee, and I've got it in my head now that I want to take Mighty for a walk to get him to 100km. He's at 80 right now. I could use a better arcanine than Howitzer but he and Mighty are what I've got.

I'm starting to get silly with names. I finally evolved a golem and called it "Amadea" (a girl, or it would be "Amadeus"). My two snow block sandshrews from Kentucky are now Igshrew and Sandloo. I've mostly laid off the puns so far.

2 raids into my 10 raid goal. I think I mangled 1 raid catch and that was a quilava. Otherwise, I've caught my magikarp, crocanaw, and ...something I can't remember. Most of the time I simply can't beat higher powered raids (tried for a porygon with no success) so I just join and ditch for my point.

I have two 'perfect' pokemon now, my jumpluff and now my slowbro. (Luff and Bro. How original, I know.) Neither are very high in the cp end though, but I find I stick most of the time with my main crew anyway. I've taken to annotating names with little characters that designate certain stats because I got tired of appraising all the time to be sure what something was.
