This was bound to happen one day. As we were checking into our apartment, I was busy with the landlady when kid comes up to me with a quiet panic in his voice.. Daddy Daddy, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened! What do we do now?!? Apparently he accidentally activated a lucky egg! Since I was still preoccupied with the landlady, I had to tell him to wait, and he began to pace nervously around the room! Needless to say, in the long (more like 5) minutes for me to finish the checkin, kid's anxiety level went through the roof! We then immediately went and evolved whatever we can, which was hard since we were aggressively transferring crappy pokemon to get the 2x candy during this Hallowe'en event. Finished off with about 40k experience. Kiddo was so apologetic and promised to never let this happen again. I magnanimously told him it was okay. Just a game! A good learning experience all around. Then we had a blast the rest of the day in Porto!
Okay. No question we like this Hotel. We found this quicker than expected!
In a hotel on the outskirts of Madrid, I ask the kid if he liked this hotel... we are catching so many pokemons we don't usually see here! His reply: "What do you mean I like it? I LOVE IT!" :D
Wife and I were on our way to pick up kid from Chinese school. I made the off-hand comment that if I saw a Lapras sighting (still have yet to catch or hatch one. :(), I would go and catch it first, even if I end up 5-10 minutes late picking up the kid. Wife obviously thought I was crazy, but I retorted saying... the kid wouldn't expect any less of me!! ---- On the drive home, wife asks kid... Daddy said he'd rather find a Lapras instead of picking you up. Kid was like.. WHAT?!? I was like.. hold on a sec. Let me re-phrase... "If I saw a Lapras shadow... do I catch it first, but then might be late to pick you up (5-10 minutes at most due spawn time) .. or should I pick you up on time and skip Lapras. Kid immediately reply: "CATCH LAPRAS REALLY QUICK!!" I rest my case.
Little Pokemon master and I decided that today was a good day to use our lucky egg. We've been saving up a bunch of pokemons, avoided evolving any "new pokemons" since day 1. Since we just hit level 23, it was daunting to have to start collecting XP again. It didn't take much convincing for Kiddo in the morning. Better yet, he was all into doing his homework this time; we checked the IVs, and came up with a list of 20+ pokemons to evolve, and at the same time, collected a bunch of Pidgeys and Rattatas. Time came, we made our way to a bench at PMall, in range to two pokestops, and got into action. Evolution animation takes longer than it needs to, but kiddo never lost interest. He even knew to not check pokedex or the character moves in the interest of time!! While we didn't notice, wife told us that there were kids sitting beside us watching what we were doing the entire time... and as mesmerized too! When it was all said and done, we needed 18 new pokemons in our pokedex, and gained 77k XP! Highlight of the day. :D
