    Hey folks! Friendly reminder that this is my personal Twitter account 😊. All are welcome, but if you’re here just to spam my replies with irrelevant posts/complaints, I’ll be taking the advice of others and finally using the block button (unfortunately). (1/2)

    I decided to block an account for the first time today. I usually pride myself on never blocking anybody, even though some people say some pretty hurtful things about me. I genuinely think it’s important to read contradicting view points and not get trapped in an echo chamber.

    I know there are always things we can improve on, but I hope everybody enjoyed our first ever #PokemonGOTour event today! If you only knew how much blood, sweat, and tears go into creating something like this... I’m so proud of the team who brought this experience to life!

    🚨 New Trainer Alert! 🚨 Thrilled to introduce the world to baby Miles, future leader of Team Valor and Elite 4 Champion! I’m currently incredibly sleep deprived, but loving every moment of fatherhood and trying to make the most of my parental leave 🥰

    SO excited to finally hit Level 50 in #PokemonGO! And to do so on Community Day of all days makes it even more special to me. Thank you to the entire Pokémon GO community for the countless fond memories along the way! Here’s to many more ❤️

    What do you think of todays season announcement (Hidden Gems)? Something we’d like to do in the future is get PvP updates announced earlier so players have time to prep better for Play! Pokémon tournaments.

    I didn’t think I was going to get it for another week or so, but I somehow managed to gain 166 points in one day to hit Legendary!
