Wow! So much has occurred since I'd last blogged about Pokemon Go & Grinding to Hit Level 50!
Well, I did it, and then I did many OTHER THINGS! Now, there's 80 levels which started LAST YEAR!
Here you can see my Avatar in my Giovani Black Suit BECAUSE I beat him enough times to get his Blazer from the PLATINUM MEDAL BADGE!
Since Early December I had a major leg injury which hampered my progress, but SEVERAL OTHER MILESTONES WENT DOWN BETWEEN HITTING LEVEL 70, AND I'M CURRENTLY SITTING AT LEVEL 75. In fact, I'm close to hitting Level 76, but was set back since it requires walking 300km, but I had several medical issues, plus very bad erratic weather!
Here's my BLACK Level 50 Legacy Bomber Jacket from the ORIGINAL LEVEL 50 system! HARD CORE! I also have the army green version as well. Plus, I completed the Special Research Tasks and GOT THE POSE and my Mewtwo! And here she is when i hit Level 70 as I was an eleite level and was grandfathered into the NEW SYSTEM! So, I also have a nod to my Original legacy Level 40 System where you can see the Gyarados Hat & my 2020 glasses!:
What an ABSOLUTE GRIND!!!! Jeez!!!
I hit Level 50 in Spring of 2024, and at that point I was almost sure they'd never have more levels, because we kept hearing rumors of 60 levels. But, the bombshell came in 2025 (last year) when suddenly there were 80 levels! Leveling up now is NOT AS HARD.... unless ur injured, like I was. It SUCKED!
I have ALL the XP & ALL The Platinum Medals I could possibly need to hit Level 80 now, but they time gated this stuff! So, if all goes well, I could hit 80 this year.
But, You might ALSO wanna check out the OTHER good stuff that happened for me since I hit Level 50, then 70, and now 75, but almost at 76, probably in a few more weeks. I gotta pace myself, because I have pain management & healing to navigate, plus trying to loose weight.
