"I decided I was sick of FOMO"

#PokemonGO: So recently I’ve been viewing a lot of the posts/comments here and on TSR and I’ve been finding Pokemon Go quite stressful. For example:I raided a Rayquaza recently and it was only 2 stars and I felt disappointed! When I literally had never done a raid egg above 3*s before remote passes got introduced, so why am I disappointed with this cool dragon that is a new Pokédex entry??I have been hoarding my Tepig and Snivys waiting for their “community day” as everyone tells you “don’t evolve, they’ll get a community day and then their moves will be useless”. So I had loads of Tepigs, Snivys and Oshawotts just sitting, and waiting, and six shadows in my Pokédex for their evolved forms.I finally got enough Gible candies to evolve to a Garchomp thanks to the recent event, and I’ve been umming and ahing about which Gible is the best to evolve, and what if I get a better one and regret evolving it? And what if it gets a community day and I regret evolving it? So I just sat for a week+ with 250 Gible candy and no Gabite, no Garchomp. My Riolus from the event in February had the same treatment. I didn’t know which was best to evolve, so I just never evolved any of them.I’ve been saving loads of extra 1* Farfetch’d in case someone wants to trade, and loads of useless Pokemon from 2016 in case someone wants to trade and get a lucky. But why? I never trade with anyone! I’m a solo player, always have been. I read on TSR “never delete 2016 Pokemon!” so I didn’t, but it’s filling up my bag!So I decided today, I don’t care anymore. I have no more FOMO. I evolved my first ever Servine and Serperior, Dewott and Samurott, and Pignite and Emboar. I evolved my Riolu into a Lucario, and just chose two Gibles and evolved one into a Gabite and one all the way to a Garchomp. I cleared out my storage and only kept the things I really thought i might want to keep. And I feel so much better! This game feels fun and exciting again. Watching the shadows get filled in my Pokédex was so cool. And I just wanted to share. I think sometimes reading posts and analysis on Reddit can make Pokemon feel like a chore, and it doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t matter to me if I don’t get perfect PVP-IVs. I’m not sure why I ever really cared - I made it to rank 4 in PVP for my guaranteed Galarian Zigzagoon and haven’t touched it since. In fact that reminds me - I’m going to go and evolve him and get my first Obstagoon! ☺️ via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/3fJB0b2
