So, it’s been a busy month in Pokémon since the last post. I finished Pokémon Shield – loved it, have started on Pokemon Violet, and things have progressed somewhat in Pokémon Go. I haven’t met Giovanni again, yet. So, I don’t know what he has for me when he does crawl out of whatever hole he’s dug. I’ve been raiding – a lot – in Pokémon Go, lately.

You obtain cards in the now-familiar metaphor of the booster pack, bought for in-game silver or real world cash. Each card – all of which are beautifully illustrated – represents a unit. Units have a draw time – the number of turns a card must wait after it is drawn before it can be played. This can be as much as ten turns for the most powerful cards, or as little as one for cheap, expendable infantry. Cards also have an attack power, health, and an optional special ability. ...
