Time for Your Pokemon to Get a Job

It’s finally happening. Your Pokemon are moving out of your Pokeballs and going to start working in the real world. In the latest Pokemon Sword and Shield news, a new feature called Poke Jobs will appear.

In the Galar region, it is common for Pokemon and Humans to work side-by-side. Corporations and even universities will request Pokemon for help. There are a variety of different jobs with different request.

But what do your Pokemon earn as a reward? Definitely not Pokedollars as you earn those from beating up others. Instead your Pokemon will earn experience points, base stats improvements (Atk, Def, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, HP, or Speed) and get some rare items. It depends how long they are at work. Overtime is not an issue in the Pokemon job space.

Certain Pokemon are more suited for specific work. The more Pokemon you send out for a certain job, the better rewards they can earn.

You can access PokeJobs from the Rotomi. The Rotomi has replaced the PC at Pokemon Centers. It can be used for PC boxes and the lottery.

Now that your Pokemon can get a job, what about you?

Pokemon Sword and Shield release November 15, 2019 worldwide.

Pokemon Go Gift Event for August 5th

Pokemon Go will have an event from from Aug. 5 at 4 p.m. ET until Aug. 19 at 4 p.m. ET regarding gifts. Gifts will contain 2k eggs that will hatch 7k Pokemon. That means you’ll be hatching rarer Pokemon at a faster rate. Shiny Bonsly and Sudowoodo will also be released at this time.

You’ll be able to hold 20 gifts and open 30 gifts a day during the duration of the event. I wish it was like that all the time.

This Saturday is Community day where eggs will hatch at 3x the rate. It may be worth hatching all the eggs you’re holding on to now so that you have space for the 5th.

Doom Classic accidentally forces Users to use Bethesda Log-In

Bethesda surprised fans of the old Doom series by porting Doom 1,2, and 3 for all game consoles yesterday. However, players noticed you needed a Bethesda.net account to play the game! ResetEra Nibel tweeted his experiences that you were forced to log-in to play the offline single-player game.

It is a confusing system, considering that the game has no online features. It does have an offline multiplayer for players though. Still, forcing players to create a Bethesda account is a way for the company to send users marketing emails and track active users. Bethesda has since responded saying that creating a Bethesda account was meant to “be optional.”

They are working to patch that option in. I can only speculate that Bethesda is now stating that after being caught by fans. They were hoping fans wouldn’t be mad or mind.

Twitter has obviously been making memes about being forced to create an online account for a single-player game. So I will leave them below.
