"Grinding Pays Off - Level 40!"

#PokemonGO: https://ift.tt/3i5uMr8 started this week at like 500k XP into level 39, then I played a lot on the first day of the event and realized I could actually hit 40 before Gible CD. So, I did it! And I guess I wanted to share, along with some of my collection.I didn’t really start playing until 2018 even though I have the early start date. I stopped playing last year because my phone was… bad lol. But I got a new phone this month so I’ve been playing a lot.I wish I had played more earlier than 2018, though, not only for in-game reasons but because I’ve explored a lot of irl places thanks to PGO. I like to play mostly to collect shinies (esp of Pokemon I really like) and explore the world and places of interest. I’ve been to a lot of places in the last few years and it’s really nice to have caught Pokemon that remind me of where I was on a certain day or who I was with.Anyways! I just love Pokemon and PGO and feel kinda proud of this I guess. Thanks for reading (: via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2SIF6ut
